Update:

Start a new job as an IT analyst in Houston in January. 50k but unlimited OT.

Finally reconnected with my adderall connect

CCNA, CEH, CISSP, & Powershell.....

Got a raise still entry-level though. $75,000 plus benefits

I got a promotion to level 2 network engineer after I got my CCNA at my current job back in July..and they pay me 50k. Pretty sure I'm being underpaid for the work I do

You in Houston? Throw your resume up on Dice, indeed, monster, and careerbuilder and you'll be getting offers at much more than that

It's worth it, fam. You get to keep the lab for 18 months.

Career academy doesn't have lab simulation for hands-on training like Testout. I wouldn't invest in a course that doesn't have a lab simulation to practice configuration of operating system, setting up a network , and troubleshoot computer-related issues. Testout is the complete package that is similar to a college course that comes with a lab.

Yeah in the job description i noticed it mentioned making sure groups had correct policies, password resets etc. So i assumed this was AD

I am going to have to play around with AD again to refresh my memory

That's a very small part of AD. Learn AD well and eat.
