Author Topic: Getting Certified [Computer and Networking Systems]  (Read 391 times)

Hello comrades,

I ask upon you due to your incredible collection of insight and wisdom.

I fix computers. I am going to be getting my CompTIA A+ in the next few weeks. I've read through the 1000+ page book by Meyers a few times and have practiced in the field for years, and a friend of mine who is much less experienced recently aced it.  Immediately after I get it, I want to begin studying for another certification.  The next certification I plan to try to get is a CompTIA Network+, because apparently employers give you  cookies for having that one. I want to, immediately after passing the Net+, begin studying for one more certification. This is to ensure I have nice looking list of accomplishments when I want to get a job in the field.

I may go to college (again) for an associates degree in networking or comp-tech sometime in the next year or two.


Go work for Mojang.
That would probably be fun, but that is very dependent on the location of an area they own and operate.

I don't really need specific job advice, unless anyone knows what is recommended to have if you want to be a Network Admin for a
semi-small or medium sized business or agency.

Oh, okay.

2 is heaps IMO.
I'm glad you're deciding to go for Network+, as it's amazing knowledge to have.

Yea, that's what I've been told. I'm also better at working with computers as opposed to managing and installing WAN's, so it'll be good to balance out a little bit.
