Im finally going to college and figured out just what i want to do with my life (i think LOL)

If all goes well, in 2 years i will have my Associates in Computer Engineering Technology linux or cisco both including the IT security option and including all of my certs, im leaning towrds linux, but cisco is allways good to know too so lol

I start the 21st....so if im on a little less....well, im getting schooled.



Maybe one day ill be able to have a whole garage full of nice bikes

 

good for u man..what school u going to??

 

SPC for my AS
Then if i decide to go on ill transfer to USF

 

GOOD LUCK ITS A GOOD FIELD I WAS IN IT FOR ABOUT 4 YRS BUT NOT GETTING ANY CERT. SO I JOINED THE MILITARY

 

Time to bank once you're out! Well, hopefully.

I'm at the St. Pete campus M-Th. from 11-12:30 so if you're free after and go to that campus, maybe we can hit up some lunch!

 

Good for you! These days it seems you can't get paid decent w/out a college education. I'm starting my 2nd year and I'm already seeing friends screwing up their opportunity and it sucks...good luck to you!

 

Bart man... i literally live like 5 mins away from that campus man!! SPC in st pete is on 5th ave.....i live on 11th lol

My classes are at night this semester from 5-7:30PM.....BUT, i also WORK like 5 mins away from the campus lol (yes i know i have it good) i have a pretty flexible schedule and can leave for lunch when ever so it still works out lol...Give me a call dude 727-385-2991


Thanks for the support guys, hopefully by this time next year ill have a nice bike to ride to school in lol

 

the shadowwowowowowoooooooooooooossssss bitch!

 

congrats and goodluck man

 

Congrats..

But if you even remotely want to get into the ITsec field you'd better get a lot more than an associates degree.

Preferably a security clearance with a Masters, CCSP.. etc. Don't think getting 3 certs will get you a job with no experience. Experience>all.

You're about to enter a completely overfilled field where half of the people only work the job because the Navy taught them the skill.

Cisco IOS is good to know, mostly due to the theory as its required for all other routing/switching software, leaning towards a specific OS is stupid, IMO, it's an operating system, and just like programming languages, you need to be well versed in as many as possible to be successful.

"Knowing" an operating system isn't even half the battle when it comes to IT. That's just the beginning.

I'm 22 and a sysadmin, there are probably 5-10 of us CEN/Sysa's on TF, feel free to ask us about the career.
