Yeah, I’ll still look into self-studying before using my money to take the class for the credit. I just wasn’t ready for it..
Anyways, the Health Information Systems major. I was looking at the course requirements and saw “ICD Coding Systems.” So... I’m assuming I need to learn to code. Do you have any suggestions on that?
Figure out the root cause of why you were scared. If you don't, that mentality will continue to hinder you. Regardless of what field you end up in.

Repetition brehette. Like speaking a language it's only going to stick if you practice. You know more than you think you know.

Most ppl don't know what they're doing. As far as tech fields go. What matters is, that when you have down time, you are putting in the effort to learn what you don't know. That's what separates the successful ppl from the avg.

Nah just fukking with you
. Czr is right though, most people are just stumbling through each day and not many put in the outside time to understand the field. That's how you end up with developers in their 40s and shyt and who never moved upward. I love computer science and don't really have a solid grasp on some of the concepts.

I be winkin' through the scope
That's because certs don't teach you how to do shyt. All they do is give you career context. A security+ ain't gonna teach you how to use tcpdump or read a packet capture or do anything.
Security+, CEH, A+ and all that entry level shyt is buns as far as actual practical knowledge
