Depending on where you work, IT jobs have A LOT of down time. I've dont less than 20 hours of actual work over the last 3 months
Nah my experience is probably what makes me stand out tbh, the certs definitely help tho

I feel like im stuck as far as the studying goes for my A+ and im feeling like im not using the right material ...
I went on the official compTIA website to look at what exactly is going to be on the exams so i have an idea of what to focus on though.... Are there any books you brehs recommended (im using the mike myers book ) or videos (I usually watch the professor messer guy on YouTube) ?
Back in the day this was the go to book, I'm guessing it's still the best one to use:
Everything on the exam was covered in the book, I just used some exam simulators to practice at the end of my studying.

Thanks alot breh, do you think its gonna make much of a difference that this book covers 801/802 and i plan on taking the new 901/902?
You should check out groupon for the latest coverage

This is the book I have but I've been bullshytting on getting through it. I think I just need to pull the pdf to my phone and read it when I'd usually pull up a bullshyt app out of boredom.

Did you start out at help desk? If so did you have to get your A+ cert before applying for the job?
Well i started out doing tech support at call centers. First for sprint then a cable company.
Once i got my A+/made 2 years there i quit and started looking around.

I'm not sure, but check comptia's site for the exam objectives and see if it's covered in the 802 book

This is the God's honest truth. As I progressed away from day to day support to infrastructural administration/management, my 'workload' decreased a ton. A lot of my work is done in Excel/Visio/Project these days.
If you're working front line support get out of that shyt ASAP
I've interviewed some level 1 help desk positions and they all seem to expect me to already know how to troubleshoot issues.
This entry level part of my career is taking forever.

I guess I'll keep studying then.
Same route here
What are you using to study? Im using the itprotv site that someone dropped earlier along with the books and a home setup i already got going...the itprotv site is dope...they have great presentation, also get practice labs and practice tests...they have a discount code for 30% off if you google it(400 bucks for the yr with discount but worth the investment)...they have a shyt load of courses and some technical knowledge stuff (even have powershell and cissp).
