| Topic | Do any of you not have a credit card? |
| BlazinBlue88 09/13/17 12:10:18 AM #29 | DragonJumpKick posted... I wish i hadnt been told by every single person about how bad credit cards were growing up and got one earlier. Same here. I finally got a credit card 6 months ago and I'm nearly 29. Citi Double Cash which gives me 2% cash back on all purchases, no annual fee, and no interest for first 12 months. Also they have an awesome mobile app. I've already made $275 cash back. Couldn't be happier with it. --- |
| Topic | I'm so sick of living with my family |
| BlazinBlue88 09/12/17 11:48:48 AM #44 | lowtides posted... You don't get that it's not just the job, everything surrounding it is stressful and overwhelming for me. Including money management (banking), housing, applying, transportation (I can't drive) etc. Unknown things are stressful to all humans. Everyone feels stress about those things until they get into the thick of it. Many people have anxiety and I guarantee some have it worse than you yet we all have to deal with life in whatever way we can. Sitting at home and letting your parents take care of you isn't dealing with life. It's refusing to grow up and get over your own issues. You know what you should be stressed over? What you're going to do when your parents die and there's no one else to take care of you. That stress should scare you enough to take action and better you situation instead of sucking your thumb until it happens. lowtides posted... I do not tolerate it all like other people will. Yes you will. You'll spend your first few weeks going into the bathroom during your breaks and having a good cry. That's ok. You'll slowly get comfortable at the job and stop doing that. Your communication sucks? Yeah so does everyone's until they are forced to interact with people. You aren't forced to be social in school. You are in a job. My socials skills were dreadful until I got into the work force. They still aren't great but they are good enough for me to become very successful in my IT career field. Continue with your therapy and continue trying different meds. Good for you working towards that. Something will work for you and it'll make your life so much better. --- |

TC, you're lonely and you want someone comfortable to be around whether they are good for you or not. You feel like you're life fell apart but it didn't. You need to figure out what you want from life and how to get it. --- |

I make 40k currently but my job is really dangerous and stressful. Look up professor Messer on YouTube. I watched his videos exclusively for security+ and passed with flying colors. He has A+ courses as well. --- |

I make 40k currently but my job is really dangerous and stressful. The A+ is a two test exam. One test is $100 and the other is $150 I think. I never took it but I took Security+ which is a sister exam of A+ and it was piss easy. Granted I only took it cause an employer required it. I already had 4 years of IT under my belt and my college education so I'm sure there will be more studying on your part. Moving up the ladder depends on the type of helpdesk job you get. If you work one of those boring ones that only want you to work on break fix tickets and twiddle your thumbs otherwise then it'll be hard to move up. If you get the helpdesk job that has you doing break fix tickets and lets you work on upgrade projects with more senior members then you're exposed to more. That allows you to build up your resume and move up the ladder easily. --- |

They create the policies for the business that tell you how open you're allowed to make your systems. Me: "I need SSH enabled for this server." InfoSec: "By policy, SSH is disabled for all servers in the company." Me: "But I need it for *insert great business justification." InfoSec: "Hmm...we'll review your request at our next meeting." Me: "When is that? This project needs to be done by the end of the week." InfoSec: "We meet at the end of each month." Me: "That's 3 weeks from now!" InfoSec: "lol" 3khc posted... Thanks, this is really informative. I'm interested in security because that sounds the coolest. Like hacking or at least defense against it. Maybe programming, but that one seems the most difficult. Can you tell me how much time it would take to get a job in these fields assuming I go to school for them? InfoSec is half creating policies and procedures that the company has to follow and half running pen tests to ensure there aren't any vulnerabilities in the systems. If you like working with IT people to balance security with useability then that's the career path for you. Side note: I do love creating policies and having people follow them so I'm no better. College degree is good for getting your foot into the door but you don't necessarily need it. It's more about certs and work experience than anything. Just google any IT field name and the word cert with it like "networking cert" and go from there. You'll need to shell out the cash for your first cert or two but then your employer will probably start paying for all your training. After you get a cert, create accounts on LinkedIn, Dice, and Indeed. IT recruiters search those sites and will contact you with job opportunities fairly quickly. Within 1-2 months. 3khc posted... Higher than minimum average lol. Even 40k would be nice, but I want to end up in the 80k-100k. Unsure how realistic that is. I mean if you go into IT then $50k is easily achievable. I'm only 8 years into my career and I'm near the six figure mark. My networking friend I mentioned earlier is it $115k with only 5 years experience. --- |

Helpdesk support - super basic job. Sit at your desk and reset passwords all day plus some other simple tech support stuff. Get your A+ cert(~$200 cost) and you can have one of these entry level jobs that pays $35k-$45k. Easy to move up to System Admin/Data Center Engineer areas which bump you up to $60k and $90k respectively. Networking - Work on the network that all computer devices sit on. Cables and switches. You'll spend all your time doing Cisco certs that your company will pay for. The higher exams cost $1k and more. Entry level job $45k-$55k with potential for $120k or more dependent on the Cisco cert you have. My friend went from entry level to the $120k mark in 4 years with constant studying. Programming - No certs, seems to be the most time intensive to me because it's a lot of learn on your own and prove you can do the job type thing. Figuring out which programming language you like to work with and which ones are in demand the most. Salary anywhere from $50k-$120k depending on the company, your skill level, city, ect. Database management - Working with SQL database servers. Anywhere from $60k-$100k. Don't know too many specifics on this area. Security - up and coming area. Get some certs and make $60k-$90k. All of these numbers are just what I've personally seen in my area. I'm sure the numbers will be much higher in bigger cities. --- |

| BlazinBlue88 09/05/17 4:52:03 PM #10 | This is true. I hated working with our ISP during outages at my first job. It was legitimately my most hated part of that job. Lucky to get out of the auto attendant circling machine to a human, each department had their own ticket system so unless you got to the right department they didn't recognize your ticket number, and all the on site techs did sloppy work and just came and went without notifying me. --- |

Any city would allow him to find a new job within a few weeks. My strategy is to create accounts with resume info on Indeed, Dice, and LinkedIn. Recruiters search those job engines just like we would. I get constant emails with IT offers because of this. Don't seek them out, let them come to you. --- |
