·Hardware components include motherboard, processor, memory, etc.

Looks like good experience if you dont have any. I honestly like being in different places and out and about instead of in an office. You can also use this time to network and maybe get a job in house at one of these places in the future.

I've been stuck dealing with VOIP issues all year and there's no end in site.

The project is to switch to SIP trunking but it looks like it's going to be a massive pain in the ass.

Been following the thread for a few months now while studying for my A+.

The info is very appreciated. Thanks to all who give gems.

I thought cyber security was appealing but I'm curious out the cons of going into field. I've also been looking at this guy's videos.



Sorry if this came up already but can anybody speak on this? Does he have an axe to grind, or is it more true than not?

I cant really disagree with him on this video. Cyber security is a great field. But it takes alot of work. You dont just jump into it. It really takes years of experience and hard work. I think thats what he is trying to get across.

Some of what he's saying is out of date since more and more companies are taking cybersecurity seriously now. Previously the Federal government spent the most money and attention on cybersecurity so that's where most of the jobs where. The problem with the Federal government is they suck at implementing security. I got into cybersecurity by working as a contractor for the DOD because of so few private cybersecurity jobs in my area. But now they would be one of the last places I would go to work in cybersecurity because the security is so poor.
