I keep telling brehs how easy it is to move up glad to see someone follow the blueprint :wow:.

Here's some areas to focus on if you wanna blow past 100k:

Powershell - learn it very well. If you know it, it'll put you right at the front of the line.

Group Policy - you gotta be very familiar with group policy. Learn it in and out.

SCCM - its huge and pretty much all big companies use it to manage their infrastructure

Exchange - it pretty much dominates the messaging landscape. It's everywhere

AD CS - if you can become proficient in PKI, you can easily start getting security gigs (an extra 20-30k a year easy).

Setup some vms and start testing out all of those systems and put that shyt on your resume (get your MCSE too). Then you just back, relax, and watch how many recruiters start blowing your phone up for 6 figure jobs :whew:
How long would it take to learn all of this?And what certs do you need for all of that?

Nah, it be like that sometimes.. sometimes you fall off the wagon, but it's more about how fast you get back on.. I had a 4 month gap between my ccent and ccna that I could've fit this MCSA between, now it's just wasted time that I can't get back.. being around people that's eatin, seeing legit results and seeing there's a a legit pathway to it if you apply yourself and stay motivated helps too, so keep posting them job offers :salute:


I just got a cisco 800 series router that I integrated into my home network.. got the whole crib setup as a domain with a network printer and 2 dhcp scopes for lan and wlan.. learning is so much better when you can see shyt happen in the physical :ahh:

If anyone is looking to get into ccna, they should definitely grab one of these off ebay for $35..

I'm trying to get the N+ because I don't understanding routing too well with the ccent.

I have the A+ and have been applying for some field tech/ tech support jobs.

I'm older than most brehs in here so I don't even know what the future holds.

I can always go back to being a security guard :francis:

:scust::mjcry:

If I don't get job soon I'll go get that LPN license and lift up fat fukks all day and stick my hand in a nikka ass for 20 dollars a hour:mjcry:

Worried over my age and race:mjcry:
