This thread has been nothing but good to me as of late. I found a post of mine waaaay back in 2013 struggling with Java and in the last 2 1/2 years, tossed school to the bushes (less than 30 credits to go), had a kid, and ended up working a helpdesk/customer support gig with a major cable company for a year (as recommended in this very thread). I was promoted soon after to a department that pretty much does low-level account analysis and resolving order entry errors. We use remedy however only for submitting tickets, not resolving them. The work is beyond rudimentary and the pay is evidence of that...Not even challenging or satisfying.
SO I decided to take the long way here and read every page of this thread (ALSO as suggested)..You skippin', you trippin'
That said I have one question because its kind of a running theme every dozen pages or so:
With an A+ in tow, should one aim for Network+ THEN ccent-ccna or jump straight to ccent-ccna? I've read of the "suggested" pre-reqs/skills needed to go for ccent and basically an A+ is more than sufficient according to some however others suggest there are concepts/language in ccent worth being acclimated with prior to pursuing?
Holla at me brehs...
People shyt on network + but I recommend it to get ready for the CCNA
The lord giveth my nygga
