Nice man. Preciate the advice you gave to me when I was first starting. I'm going to keep mashing at it until I have it.

Its hard leaving thecoli but I gotta find a way...
Alright, I'm thinking about trying to get into coding/web design
I'm 40 already so starting a career in networking is kinda a stretch. Might be better to just learn to code at this point.
What do you think?
Networking vs Coding for older dudes trying to make a living?

No offense bruh, but if you cant use google to figure out that answer, your going to have a tough time in IT.
We gunna do Chapter 6 Networking when we come back from spring break. Im scared brehs 
:denzelol: so true that's like 80% being a software dev and other shyt i'm sure
1. Domain will show at the login screen or under System properties
2. You need to be a domain admin (or equivalent delegated rights) and have local admin rights to that computer.
I'd say it's less about age and more about whatever you're more naturally inclined to take an interest in and be good at.
That said, it'll probably be a bit easier to get your foot in the door with coding/web design since you pretty much either know it or you don't. As far as networking, experience trumps all and you'd probably have to start out in a helpdesk/desktop support position and work your way up to networking. No company is really trying to let someone with no experience into their server room or comm closet.
It's pretty much about what you like to do. Do you like coding or do you like networking? Whichever one you have more passion for, that's the one you need to go for. If you don't like coding, then it's probably not something you want to spend time on because you HAVE to know what you're doing. On the other hand, if you love it, you'll spend hours messing around with it on your own time. Do you have a passion for cultivating the ability to develop your own software?

This morning I was given an assignment to make sure 45 machines are updated. 
So far I got 7 system updated.

Coding pays more, because a lot of IT heads don't fukk with it. It's more tedious work but if you can master it enough to hold your own you can make a lot of money. I taught myself HTML because I didn't want to pay someone to build a website. Thinking about getting back into coding and I'm 37

going through the html head first second edition book, this is holding my interest more than learning the ccent did. I think mostly because I don't have any live cisco routers and I couldn't grasp subnetting and so forth.
Still having faith.
