IT Certifications and Careers (Official Discussion Thread)

[xXMASHERXx]

Quick question and apologies if it has been asked.

Trying to go A+ - Network+ - Security+ but the local college that offers A+ keeps cancelling classes due to low enrollment.
Can I skip right to Network+?
No I have never been a tech which is why I am considering going A+ first
The only prerequisite for Network+ is to be computer literate but I also dont want to deny myself useful information and dont want to keep spinning my wheels either.
Any advise is appreciated.

You can pick up a book, some videos and pass each one of those certs without the need for a class. If you absolutely have to take the classes I would skip the A+ and just read a book.

What would you rather do as a career is the question you need to figure out. The Cybersecurity link didnt offer any real info as to what the curriculum is.

I don't see a price on the Security one.

Since you're looking at Chicago, I'd peep Evolve Security Academy Bootcamp. They might have what you're looking for.

Your too old to be talking this non-sense.
You need to figure out what to do with your life and if you are serious about the career path you are going to embark on.

Don't shrug, figure it out, get serious about your life and what you want to do.

Focus on your health first. None of this is more important than your health.

Who on that DevOps wave?

I do IT type work...had an end user who’s responsible for low level sys admin really ask me “when you say switches...what do you exactly mean?”
