How much time did you commit each day to studying
Yeah early 2000's for me was for a few private crappy companies who focused on being the out sourced company handling the call centers for companies like Gateway PC, Compaq PC, Micron PC, Telocity & Hughesnet DSL service.
Government wise. Yeah they do outsource as well. Back in 2002 The biggest contract the Navy & Marines outsourced and gave EDS which is now a division of HP was the NMCI contract which has a well known history for being HATED by literally everyone involved on it. .
As for working on government contracts or for the DoD. I've done it before. The pay is great but at the same time I honestly don't think it's worth putting up with the CRAP of GS civilian workers
Seriously here is what's wrong with the GS Civilian workers: It's one BIG "Good Ole Boys" fraternity. Where a lot of these people are retired or just got out of the military people who are looking to do another 20 years in their job just so they can double dip and collect a second retirement pension paycheck. Most of the time their work attitudes are bad where they are lazy, they b*tch & moan how they aren't making the same amount as a government contractor. Once a GS Civilian person is past they're probation period it is literally impossible for them to get fired.
Soo I dont wanna go back to school, and probably cant right now. Any way I can learn something IT related and get a nice job? I'm willing to put the work in.
Also anyone here try Udacity or Udemy and get a job through there? Udacity has a few nanodegree programs where they guarantee jobs. I know nothing technical lol
Thanks
Congrats man.I passed my Security+ exam yesterday !! Felt good finally getting that under my belt. Has anyone heard of "FinTech"?
I'm starting my bachelors today in information security and there's a certificate in Fintech I'm thinking of adding on to my plate ( financial technology was the old word apparently).. but yea, it seems dope with the cryptocurrencies starting to make an impact in the economy.
Congrats man.
What'd you use to study/any tips? Currently reading get certified get ahead book.
What yall think about Pluralsight.com? will that be the only thing needed to pass the Net+ and Sec+
I wasn't working when I was studying for the CCENT, so I did 4-6 hrs a day with breaks in there. Now that I work full time I study on the weekends for 3-4 hrs a day for my CCNA
