If upper management wishes for me to sit here and twiddle my thumbs when business is slow, I'm gonna find my own things to do. The alternative is what I've been doing - sitting here bored and staring into space for hours. Either that or playing on my phone, which looks really unprofessional

I'm trying to be better when I'm bored at work. Instead of wasting time here, I try to study for my certs more. I'd rather be bored making 6 figures than bored now at my current pay.

I mix it up. I was doing Khan Academy for a while to brush up on my math skills

That's more programming stuff right? I'm not a programmer but I want to learn Ansible and Python stuff to move into AWS management.

Didn't you say you were looking to break into IT?

Welcome to the club.

What's your current experience and what are you doing for learning/training/etc?

I'm working in a NOC while studying Cisco.

Sounds like you've already broken into IT. Networking seems to be the most direct path to a hefty payday. Got this cert? Here's a better job.

Honestly, there are way better CS/programming resources available than Khan Academy. I'm more talking about stuff like linear algebra, which I'm having to use for 3D transformations
