Grab as many certs as possible but don't listen to this guy give "advice" on college, especially if you're a black male.
Exactly, especially when a IT degree can substitute 4 years experience

Do you think there is a market to
offer more affordable training classes for certifications? I went to a community college today to check out their CCNA class and they want $1700 which seems insane to me. I have talked to TestOut by email about group rates and got a few quotes. I thought their rates were still high, but not after doing some research on other in person classes.
I'm still in the process of studying for the second part of the A+ exam, but also want to expand my income outside of just a salary. That CCNA class at the CC was six months, but I don't think a A+ course would need to be nearly as long. I figure offering students the TestOut software along with one or two days a week in class would be sufficient for a moth or two max(the software subscription would last beyond the class). Someone I know that works in IT tells me he gets crazy offers to move for jobs outside of metro areas. Maybe those areas would be a sweat spot for such a program.
Any thoughts on AWS Certified Solutions Architect??
I've actually heard the same thing.I plan on working on it, I bought A Cloud Gurus class off UDemy, I here his stuff is the best out.

If yall are studying for CCNA like me, read this:
CCNA Routing & Switching Certification for the New Digital Landscape
That’s why the CCNA Routing and Switching certification is being updated to address the changing skill sets required for core network engineers. These upgrades address the fundamentals of programmable networks, including the related controller types and tools that are available to support software-driven network architectures. That’s in addition to an understanding of how virtualized and cloud services will interact and impact enterprise networks.
The revised program also includes Quality of Service (QoS) principles and applicability, along with additional focus on IPv6 and basic network security.
The move comes as part of our overall shift toward programmable networks throughout the Cisco certification portfolio. In November 2015, we introduced a new framework at the expert (CCIE) level to address these emerging technologies. These updates to the CCNA R&S represent the continued evolution of our training and certification programs.
The revised CCNA certification provides you with industry-recognized skills for today and the future and will give you the knowledge and tools needed to evolve the network.
Technology will pass you by, and quickly, if you don’t have the needed skills. Start the journey to update yours at our CCNA Routing & Switching page.
thats what i get for buying some study materials
Ok, good luck breh. I bought the shon Harris book a few weeks ago and left it on the dining room table, I gotta quit playing and gone ahead and get to itBout a week, first 19 courses looks like what i studied for my security+. I think the CISSP stuff will be the 20 after that on career academy. Hoping to take it at the end of august.
I graduated with a MIS and looking back I should've specialized in something like HIM. Reason being is that the HIM track can atleast lead you down a path for more career options. If later, if HIM isn't for you and the decision is made to pursue the traditional IT Helpdesk/sys admin track you can do so...probably be a lot tougher vice versaAnybody here get a Bachelor's in Management Information Systems?
I'm gonna be a senior and I have to choose a degree asap for ths upcoming year (long story, basically bad grades and switching majors twice). It's between that and Health Information Management
The degree seems to lean towards the business side of things more so than IT. Based off what I'm reading, Business Analyst and Project Managing seem to be the biggest jobs areas I could find myself in.
I figure a help desk job this year, a solid internship next year, and A+ and Network+ certs could land me a decent job God willing. Then maybe PMP certification and an MBA?
I'm know I'm getting way ahead of myself, so back to the question, do any of y'all know any people that have an MIS degree that can shine some light on the topic concerning jobs availability/pay/internships?
