"Guided Learning Path" is something I have been telling people for over a decade now. People love to say that certifications dont get you a job. Skills get you a job. The first thing I always ask them is how do you even know what to study to get those

A certification is no guarantee you are going to get those skills. But it gives you a guided learning path to get them. Learning those skills is up to you.

From the employer side it gives a barometer of what you "should" know.

I'm a Network/Systems Admin with the CompTIA Trifecta studying for CCNA. It's been hard to study after having a new baby. I gotta stay focused to complete my goal of becoming an Engineer.

[NETSECCORE]

I took over a network for community college when I was 20. I loved it so much I got my CCNA and CCNP. It was the best time of my life even with the ups and downs.

[keith.hargrove]

Can relate to the part where you had to take a pay cut to jump into the field. I was in the similar situation, didn’t see growth in the position I was in but I had a passion for tech. I took a paycut just to get into tech and was able to make back what I made at my last job in less than a year!

Good timing! Just in time for my drive to work, thank you for the upload. Have a wonderful day.

[Novadragon]

Hey just wanted to say thanks I passed my A+ last week I decided to start my journey into IT because of one of your videos I'm gonna start working on my CCNA next. thanks again again

[Mustlehard]

Been stuck at level help desk 1 for 3 years and can’t even get an interview with anything more than a tier 1 help desk position with a security+ ccna and a+. Labbing hard and gonna learn everything I possibly can. They won’t be able to deny me when I know everything there is to know

[djgrapedrank]

An idea for short form content. Making a playlist/ start chopping clips of FAQS. For example if you had to do it all again clips, how to get the first cyber security job clips, job roadmap clips, etc. thanks for all your content man it’s very informative

[kingshabba]

I am currently a sys admin (8 months) working on Net+ and security+ next

[philliprgarcia]

I have a very similar story to yours, I worked as a CNC machinist and was making good money. Hated my job though, I switched to IT and started at the bottom on helpdesk and took a 20K pay cut. Made back my salary within one year when moving up to an IT specialist. I am now a Sys admin, and working at my CCNA on the road to become a Network Engineer, but sure is hard when there are so many other things to learn like the cloud. I also have kids so it is hard, but doable with an understanding, and supportive partner!

Can you do a video on how to build the perfect resume for Network Engineer

[thecaptainatlas]

Currently rebuilding my resume from the ground up and getting into the mindset to move into a different role. I'm comfortable in my current position as a Field Service Engineer, but the growth opportunity and pay leave a lot more to be desired. This video popped up on my feed right on time. I've been thinking about moving into Networking or Security.

[Tony-xcsk]

Flash cards is everything for learning.

[hnicfr]

I thought I was crazy for wanting to go from being a truck driver.. This information is very helpful.. Thanks.

[mj]

Passing my security+ in 2weeks then my network+ 💯

[TheHarrisal]

Is it possible to skip help desk if you already have some networking experience from a similar field? I'm in controls engineering but am exposed to network setup and troubleshooting but not on an enterprise level.

[Sergeezie]

I have an associates in computer networking and my GPA was 2.5 .I can't get an entry level job at the moment. I dont when these guys got their jobs but in 2024 .I think the certs are mandatory

[rohanfernandes]

How did you go from network engineer to network architect?

[memeteam]

idk why you wouldn't job hop. Staying at one place is career suicide unless you found a unicorn that promotes from within at the exact time you're ready to get promoted
