Damn i got subnetting down fully for this ICND1 :wow:

Before really learning it i was like ":damn: how the hell they expect me to do this" but once you learn the concepts and little shortcuts its like:ahh:

Being able to subnet in my head was what allowed me to pass the CCNA first time I took it in like 2004. I had like 3 minutes left on the exam and if I didn't fly through the subneting section I would have taken an L :whew:

Well I started my career plan over, again :francis: I'm now dabbling in Software Development. Just started to look up certs but don't know which one my career falls into. Any help on how to get started, besides acquiring certs? I tried Web Development but lost interest in it after a while.

I'm 21(birthday is in 3 weeks :old:), no degree yet(a year away from my Associates), and possess no drive or motivation. My life is a big blur right now brehs. I just don't know what to do :mjcry:

I'm currently interning at a small computer repair shop and I'm preparing to retake my A+ 801. I missed it the first time by 20 points. I was talking to the older guy who works in the shop and we were talking about the future. Long story short, he was telling me it basically unless to learn about for windows computers because apple is taking over. How correct is he on this or is he just talking out of his ass?

Normally if you have a graphic design department they'll all be using MAC computers. Most of the top level Executives at companies use Apple products like iPad's and iPhones instead of a Windows PC. So there is a growing market for Apple products especially since Microsoft constantly shoots themselves in the foot releasing dud's like Windows 8.
