I decided to start studying for the CISSP since my job is willing to pay for the exam and any training class associated with the cert. What are some good books and videos I can use for studying?

I'm tying to get something like this setup now. My only problem is I have about 2-3 calls a week with my remote job and I'm afraid people will hear what I'm talking about and start asking questions.

I got like 3 interviews for a office gig lined up next week.

Do what I did, grab a conference room of go have the call in your car.

Stop making excuses breh. I passed my A+, CCNA, and MCP while working 40 hours a week and having a full load in college, and was on the Deans list and drove 2 hours on the weekend to hang with my gf while she was at college.

If you come into this with a shytty work ethic you'll never make it.

It's a lot of info but the content isn't difficult. I view it like a history test, just a bunch of shyt to memorize.
Yeah, it's definitely interesting. This not the type of shyt you can pass on a 1 month cram session tho.

I need to get a windows laptop so i can start fukking with this powershell too. My Macbook too :flabbynsick: at this point for a virtual machine :mjcry:

Use bootcamp

And I studied for about 6 months for my CISSP. I cut the cable off, stopped hanging with friends as much, and just bust my ass. I went from making 75k to 125k over night :whew:

That sounds like me I'm coming with every excuse not to study :francis:

Last year I made 200k. I was pulling in 10k/mo AFTER taxes and I only have a HS diploma. This year I'll probably hit 250k.

Keep coming up with excuses breh, meanwhile I'll be at Follies making it rain on these big booty Atlanta strippers
