I'm actually taking it on Tuesday. You should take it soon since they are updating the test with new material. There are also some discount vouchers since they are phasing out the old test.

ITexamvouchers.com I saw a CASP exam voucher with 45% off. Only catch is that you'd have to take the exam by this Saturday. They also have sales every week too.

I need to take my network+ soon as well. I currently work for a software company doing implementations for the Point of Sale software. I started out on the help desk for the same company and just moved up. I applied at verizon the other day for their help desk and they are paying a little bit above 60k for the position. I really don't want to get back on the phone but thats 18k more than what I currently make. .

I'm at a technical school in middle Georgia. Central Georgia technical college to be exact. I have 5 more class to complete an associates degree as a computer support specialist. My career right now is working on the phones at GEICO.
I want to get my A+ cert. I've put that off so many times as much as this associates degree. I honestly need help finding my path or creating it. There are openings in geico in the IT field but they are all located in DC,and require at least a bachelors degree and 5+ years experience.
I have phone experience with geico so I know I can get an entry level job.
I just don't know where to look. It's not that I'm lazy, it's just GEICO runs my life at the moment and I'm literally making the decision now to focus on what I want to do for the next 7 years

I just took the 005 yesterday. Wasn't too bad. I got an 813/900. Make sure you know how to subnet and your Ethernet cabling.

How long did you guys study for your net+ cert, and which author would you recommend? Starting an intern position at a data center in the summer and want to lock that down full-time.
I dont necessarily need to take the 005 at all, just come equipped with the knowledge necessary to have a decent general idea of whats all going on.

Professor Messor is a great dip for videos. I studied for it but didn't take it since I didn't see any purpose at the moment since there aren't any jobs that want it.

There's not a whole lot of demand for Net+. It's not a bad cert if you can get it on discount or an employer to pay for it.
It is good for Federal jobs.

So I bought this book a few months wanting to get my foot in the IT door. View media item 1452591Was jus gonna study and get a cert. also wanted to obtain a degree in CS. My focus was in the networking aspect of IT. I'm currently attending my local CC but they only offer AAs in programming. Would it be wasteful to take classes in programming and gettin the AA and hopefully later the BS while also studyin the book? Could I get networking positions taking programming classes? Also is there a major difference in the 2? Thanks in advance for help. Sorry for the random questions.

IMO, I would finish my GE in CC while getting my CCENT. Then if you liked and felt that networking was for you, get your BS in computer engineering. As you're getting your BS, try to get some internships/work experience and when able study for your CCNA. Also, I can't stress this enough, experience trumps certs.

Hmm ok. I dig that. I have heard the experience thing for sure. I was hoping to get some kind of enty level job tho after CC. I'm 31 wit kids and mortgage so bills gotta get paid you know. That's why I was curious how different programming and networking were. Thank you for the response...

@rock steady22 programming and networking are completely different. There is usually only 1 or 2 networking classes offered in a CS curriculum and they are usually electives
its not a main focus.

Ohh ok. So when I see network engineer positions that require the BS, is that jus a BS in computers in a broad range? I'm familiar with the networking aspect, is programming hard to pick up??

I have an interview tomm for job that wants me to extract Data using SQL. I have minor SQL exp but none with extracting data using scripts. I only have used pre-made scripts. Am I screwed?

Any computer related BS will work, but I'm pretty sure a BS in IT with a networking concentration would be of more help if networking is what you want to focus on.
@LarryEastwood just prepare for the interview, you will be screwed if you don't. SQL scripts aren't too difficult to learn.

We seem to be in the same position. I work at GEICO in the VA Beach location and I am contemplating on moving to DC for the IT department. I just need to finish up this degree before i relocate. I would just keep checking the job post daily though, I have seen quite a few IT positions that didn't require a degree or experience. Recently, there was a SAS programmer position with no experience required and was a 65 pay grade. I would even apply for the positions that require experience/degree, since your internal they will liking be more lenient on some of the qualifications.
