Degree Completion

Honestly I am all about the money. I enjoy all of them equally. I have the most amount of experience as a hardware technician, but the network adminsitration experience falls in at a close second place. If the security field is in more demand and/or worth more in salary value then I would go...

Windows error message I keep getting.

ok, thanks for that tip. I believe that a laptop that was recently added to my network may be the source of these issues. This had never happened before I plugged in the PC to the router. Spyware or Malware perhaps? Wouldn't surprise me as the lappy is a loaner that I allow others to use...

A+ Training

I have seen testimony from several individuals suggesting that A+ does not help you get a job at all. I do not contest this statement, I was simply stating that I needed to attain it to keep my job within 12 months of getting hired. ;)

The A+ test did seem somewhat simple. In my case it was required for my current job. I had to certified within 12 months of being employed. From what I understand about the cert is that the A+ is designed as an entry level cert. Not many people (employers) will think highly of it if you have...

The general thought seems to be that the Security + is a highly sought after cert due to all the security issues right now. We will see how this cert goes and then see if more are in my future. Thanks for the info on which certs to take and what order. I was actually thinking about a cisco...
