1st Round Playoff Exits
We have some turnover so I went to bat for someone to take their position and was told straight up to "make a case" for my own position. I'm making good money but have been doing the same thing for years now, so I have a website (hosted in AWS) with a full resume and some other things to show so I can get on the Desktop Engineering side. So far everything is gravy and I might have created a lane for myself with my institution simply by speaking up.
Good stuff fam, I know you've come a long way. Glad to see you still hungry for more.
:salute:

:salute:Thanks, fam. I was sort of unclear in my last post: I had a conversation with the head of IT that was almost 2 hours long and he (a brotha) said to make my case. He is basically trying to fill out the team with new people but has to balance keeping the current squad happy so he is all for creating a position for me but just saying I want it isn't enough. With that in mind, I made sure to put some projects in motion so my boss can make a case to him as well as me doing so. Obviously if I finish my degree (B.S. in Cloud Computing with AWS focus) I can print money for myself but I love the institution I work for and they have my #1 interest as long as they pay and put me in positions to use skills I pick up. Its all gravy so long as I keep my work in their face so they know my value. The team is small and everyone makes a huge difference.

The Truth
Not being racist either… but its just the way they are.

Only reason I disliked WGU is because I could barely understand wtf these people were saying. And idk if this is an Indian thing and if they do this to other people, but dude would call/harass me NON-STOP about classes.

I didn't fail shyt either but back then, I worked nights and 10 hours shifts so I would usually get around to the coursework on the weekends or something, just dedicate an entire day to it since I had 3 days off… one full day dedicated to school.

Which cert again?
I messed up not posting the actual Cert - A+

In D317 thats the assessment in lieu of an objective assessment. Hoping I can find something part-time/second shift next year after obtaining it, Help Desk wages alone won't keep me afloat.
