So I'm getting my degree in CS. With my current rate, it will take me about 6 years to complete due to having a family, full time job of 50+ hours per week, and raising kids. In the meantime, I want to work on my certs and want to know yalls opinion.
I want to start with A+. CompTIA has their Certmaster program for $400 including exam voucher with a retake. After I accomplish this, N+, Sec+, and then go CCNA followed by CCNP. I know SOME stuff about computers but I am not a computer nerd. Just a guy trying to get out of the Texas heat in favor of some A/C and be home for my family vs being gone all the time or sun up to sun down hours. I know several of the employees at my local telecom company and they have all but said I have a job when I get the certs.
So, start at the bottom(comptia) and work my way up or go through my local junior college for my CCNA?
Thanks guys!
