What's a good resource on Mac troubleshooting? I feel like I'm at a pretty big disadvantage when interviewing because my Mac knowledge is weak.
This is another thing I need to get on, on the analytics side though.Any SQL Admins post here?
Apple actually offers courses to both Apple employees and non-employees. they host them at their stores I believe. it's information on their site.What's a good resource on Mac troubleshooting? I feel like I'm at a pretty big disadvantage when interviewing because my Mac knowledge is weak.
Good work breh, keep that shyt up!Just passed my first cert brehs! First time taking it (ICND1) to get my CCENT
Now onto studying for the ICND2 to get my CCNA
Would me teaching volunteered IT classes (to adults) help my resume ? (I'm a college student)
I'm thinking about getting Network + and Security+(not sure what to get to be honest) but I want to get into cyber security/network admin.

might peep that mouse, I have a wireless magic mouse for my MBP when its hooked to a monitor, may peep your joint for my Windows PCCCIE Lab Update
- Version 5 lab exam uses IOS over IOU, so I've long gotten rid of my physical routers and switches. Still have my servers and may put them to use in the near future.
- Focus is on portability and being able to study at libraries, coffee shops, iHop, etc.
- This setup is grab and go, no questions, no prep, I keep everything in an Everlane bag and move. Equipment should never touch my home LAN.
- Have white boards and lab notebooks all over the place too, will likely end up switching to Evernote or Keepnote.
1. Surface Pro 3 (dedicated: for reading, workbooks, and quick diagramming only, no exceptions)
2. Macbook Air (GNS3 and Online Racks only, no exceptions).
3. MX Anywhere 2 is a dope portable mouse (that's why it's pictured).
Old Lab:
I'll update with my reading material and rack info.

Congrats breh! You don't have the A+ though? Or do you have experience???
What are the chances of making something happen with a CCENT/CCNA? Inquiring minds want to know.
No. If you're skilled enough at a task, you should never give away your time and knowledge for free. Those hours would be better spent doing a semester long paid internship or at least getting a part-time job related to your skill-set. If you're really looking to have an edge, there is no reason why you cannot do both school and work/internship.
...especially if you're going the cyber-security route.
What school are you attending, do they have a Capture the Flag team? Are there any cyber-security events, can you start any clubs?
What is there to think about? Do it or don't.
Do both, learn basics of networking technology, the OSI model, protocol stacks, WAN/LAN technology, VPNs, etc in Network+ and all the security basics in Sec+. It won't take long. When I wanted to get on, I got Sec+ and CCNA over the course of two-weeks (self-study, my folks helped with exam fees because they knew I would do whatever it took to get on). Was making 41K with a security clearance a month later. When it's time to move, move.
If you're looking to do Cyber, start with those, get into some coding (Python and C/Assembly depending on how far you want to take it), and start delving into OS internals. Grab debuggers, check out the Assembly tutorials on YouTube. Look into Kali Linux and the Offensive Security certifications. Look at GIAC certifications. Start attending events like DefCon and Black Hat (if you can afford the latter).
There is no excuse these days. You can learn almost anything with YouTube and Torrents, you can find most any software. Any investments you make are well worth it. If you can make yourself into a valuable commodity you will eat. You can work in any number of sectors in any number of countries, you will make decent money, you will find the work challenging and fun, you will never stop learning.
But nothing can give you drive and initiative.
You're going to fail, you're going to suck at it for awhile. Get over it and take action.
Python is kind of easy to learn at least. Code Academy has a great courseNo doubt about Python, I'm taking it this semester. I dont know how the internships work for international students
