I'm really not about this help desk life. Constant calls and dealing with customers with bad attitudes..
One month down, and hopefully no more than 11 to go.

What kind of "retail" sales are those?This isn't IT related but how would you guys react if you found out I got a job as a retail sales associate working 2 days a week making $17 an hour/biweekly paychecks....and getting a bonus for when i participate in "conference calls" for the company
23 years of age now...I think I'm having a better start than a certain person with a red black and green flag who at my age was making $5.00 an hour and eating ramen noodles and living in cardboard boxes

Why don't you just hang up when you get the people who have attitudes so bad you don't wanna deal with them?
Especially the cacs. Don't let them disrespect you. I mean what are they gonna do write a letter saying they got hung up on?

I'm making $14.00 an hour for my first help desk support job, and have a side gig to make extra money as a PC Tech. I just made a quick hundred dollar today for providing support to one of my customers and it took me less than 4 hours.This isn't IT related but how would you guys react if you found out I got a job as a retail sales associate working 2 days a week making $17 an hour/biweekly paychecks....and getting a bonus for when i participate in "conference calls" for the company

I just redeemed myself and passed this with a 780
To all the brehs giving advice and encouragement.
Now I'm about to start preparing for the 802, hopefully I'll have passed it by this time next month.
Did you pass?

Are you in networking/security? Because this is 100% incorrect. I don't know why people think you have to know how to code to be in security, and you damn sure don't need to know how to code to be a networking guy.
On all the security teams I've been on in my career, only once was I on a team that had coders other than myself (and that job was 100% development work). When I worked as a Network Engineer, nobody knew how to code. Most Windows guys are starting to pick up powershell (and .net by extension) but they're still pretty rare. My current position is the first time I worked on a team where people who coded were as good as me.
