I aint seen you on Diablo 3 lately
The original thread ON HERE was posted in higher learning forum and the guy just bumped it back to the top. I'm aware of the rec room thread. This isn't that other site. You going back or not does not determine where a thread should be located, I'm cool with it being here, but it shouldn't be. The problem is that people create their own little communities in forums and then never break out. I understand that. Look, that forum is only going to be as good as posters make it. The whole idea is for it to be the place for any news and any kind of thread like this. Any type of educational, informational or intellectual discussion. There's a bunch of topics that should be in that forum that aren't put there because it has stigma (justifiable given what know the ledge was). All I'm saying is that we bumped it up to being a main forum for a reason.
This thread doesn't NEED to be here. I'm cool if it stays, but let's be logical. Why in the world is the forum that has a dedicated and stickied thread to coding and programming, not the proper place for an IT thread? I guess I have to start advertising to get people out of their shells.
At my dude JoelB: The Arcadium's purpose is more for things that are entertainment related. I.E. Movie thread = here. Thread about learning to create the graphics for movies of that sort generally = Higher Learning.

I'd rather for it to be a single megathread, but there's nothing wrong with it being in both places as long as the right people see it. I hit up Higher Learning too, but I'd definitely post and get info from here and there because it's important.

Java will put you in the game....

Bachelor's + 3 years java = $60k-70k

5 years ago...I never thought I could ask for over $85k

For those looking to break into the field.
My advice:
Start out by acquiring a helpdesk job at a webhosting company (hostgator/cpanel..etc) They train you and you can gain experience from there... the pay starts at like $10.50/hr...you can move up quick.. get your A+ cert and you're good.
Once you're there for 2-3 years you can move into more of a network admin role.
That's what I did
I worked at Hostgator for 2 years as a lvl. 2 helpdesk tech, A+ certified, Network+ certified, now I'm an assistant network admin/IP telephony admin/desktop support tech for a retail electric provider.
Also my Undergrad major has absolutely NOTHING to do w/ IT..just goes to show Experience goes a long way in the IT field.
Hope this helps brehs.
that's exactly what I was looking for. thanks breh.
Exactly b
Anyway, who has their CCNA? That's the one I'm about to start gunning for in a few months...
He's not forcing you to do anything. He's providing a completely valid opinion. And I don't know about you but I didn't come here because I was tired of people sharing an opinion on SOHH. This place offers tapatalk, has faster servers, has owners/founders that are actually present and offers a ton more small things like image and youtube embedding. None of his post affects my decision to come here.dont police us bruh

And he's at least right to some extent - now's the opportunity to break some of the habits that may not have been the best in the past. TRR put a lot of shyt in TRR just because it was a community... not necessarily because it was a TRR topic. And Higher Learning is much more diverse than KTL was so that might be a good fit.
The point is not to do shyt just because you're used to it.

First off, I don't know who you are. But secondly, I'm not a Yankees fan. I might have been the most anti-Yankees fan on that other site. Third, no one's policing anyone. I'm trying to help at that forum because I/admins think it has potential. I'm probably the least likely person to police you on here. It's campaign season
But I do think guys like kilentel and JoelB are good posters and would be good for that forum.

Good luck man, CCNA is no joke. But if you gonna get your CCNA you might as well go for the CISSP too. My boy has his CISSP and he makes over 100k
...but he also has a TS clearance so that adds to his value.

Don't bother with Network+, just get your Security+. Everything is going to security and protection of networks.
