I haven't been able to use it. My MacBook broke the day I was leaving to visit my client and I haven't had a chance to get it look at.How's that udemy course been?

Damn, i need a lab to practice in and my job got that hacking lab site blocked.I haven't been able to use it. My MacBook broke the day I was leaving to visit my client and I haven't had a chance to get it look at.
Setup some VMs on your personal computer. I had kali, metasploitable, window 7, and a few VM from vulnhub running on my computer before it broke.Damn, i need a lab to practice in and my job got that hacking lab site blocked.
May just cop em and see what they about.
My shyt not bout that life right now, like a mofo. Can barely run chrome & Itunes at the same timeSetup some VMs on your personal computer. I had kali, metasploitable, window 7, and a few VM from vulnhub running on my computer before it broke.
Sound like a coder to meWassup, everyone. I don't know why I didn't reach out to the coli brehs a long time ago. I'm looking for some insight into which path I should take. Backstory: I'm mission driven, so I've been doing a combination of teaching, college advising, and mental health counseling for the past several years. Bachelor's in business and foreign language, which includes a lot of MIS coursework. IQ > 140. Love math. Love learning new (foreign) languages. Creative mind. I don't handle boredom or monotony too well. Played around w/ different programming languages. Despite no tech cert's, always the go-to guy for trouble-shooting and other IT-related stuff through my various roles.
So fast-forward to today, I'm making a career leap of sorts. Torn between software development/engineering or network admin. I've been accepted into two parallel programs that will provide paid internships and training:
--On the coding side, it's akin to most of these coding bootcamps that have popped up in recent years, but they also prep you for the MTA cert.
--The other option on the network support end is very CISCO-centric. and gets you the CCNA for routing & switching, and wireless.
I can only do one. I'm torn as to which direction to take. I love dealing with infrastructure and I have a strong interest in network security. I actually aspire to get my CEH in the future. BUT, I also love creating. And coding, so far, has been pretty fun. I actually want to create some app's on the mental health tip that will make treatment less daunting and laborious. But I also want to open a group home that will have an IT type of niche as part of the treatment model. Which direction would you recommend: coding, or networking?

Yea, math is my stuff. I be trying to convince middle schoolers and high school freshman to let me teach them calculus. lol. It almost works until they see all the greek alphabet characters. What I'm wondering, however, is if there is a clear path to network security (CEH being the bare minimum of what I wish to do) from coding. I know programming languages are certainly helpful. But would there be a smooth path, or would I more or less have to do "extra" in order to make the two work hand-in-hand? The IPv6 stuff is also a draw toward systems admin. During my Network+ prep, the instructor saw my affinity toward math and juiced me up on being able to put those skills to use in networking.If you love Math go with the development/engineering. At my last job our best programmer was a math wizard.
@bdizzle can you provide any insight on this.Yea, math is my stuff. I be trying to convince middle schoolers and high school freshman to let me teach them calculus. lol.

Im pretty sure they just discontinued the 801 and 802 test tbh.did i get the wrong book if i got 220-801/220-802 if folks are on 901 and 902
