Ethical hacking, that is where I'm trying to be. I know it will be a while before I get there seeing as I am just starting out.

Stick with it man...it is a process, and you need to build your skills, but it is definitely achievable if you put in the work.

You just starting out in IT, or Security, or Ethical Hacking?

Right now Im just starting in IT. My goal is to finish this degree I'm working on and become a Network Admin. And hopefully after I put in a little time, and get my security cert. I can take this CEH class that my school offers. If I'm not mistaken they offer it in the degree program I am currently in.

Sounds like a good plan to me. Keep at it and put in the work. You will be good in the future.

I am a CEH, so if I can help in anyway, feel free to reach out.

Where were these classes when I was in school? Why are these schools offering cool certification classes now and not 4 or 5 years back?

If you're looking for study material than the professor messor videos and Mike Meyers book should be all you need. The comptia website and techexams.net got some practice quizzes. Professor Messor also has a new A+ quiz question almost every day (over 500 total).

I work at a library and saw a 2010 version we carry. Does the year really matter much in terms of preparation?

Yes, currently there are two versions of the test. There is the old version (701/702) which will be discontinued some time this year and the 801/802 which just started. The 2010 book might be okay for the 701/702, but not for the 801/802. You are going to have to decide which version of the test you want to take. The 800 series has a lot more networking and security material than the 700 series. Also if the book is a Mike Meyers 2010 book then it probably lacks windows 7 material which is needed now for both the 700 and 800 versions of the test.
