Current Events > Late night network maintenance... 11pm - 3am...

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'm hoping I'll be done closer to 12am, but we'll see.

I'm trying to learn networking right now. Playing around with Cisco's Packet Tracer software is insane.

I just want to change careers, travel a little bit, and solve networking problems. That's not too much to ask for in a career, is it?

CC class?

I paid for a course that works toward the CCT cert. It's basically half of a CCNA and people on Reddit and other places say it's worthless but I beg to differ. I just want to get my hands dirty and learn the basics. The CCT is more about being a technician and less being a network administrator. You learn about about the basics of the OSI model, learn how to upgrade and switch out Cisco equipment, and learn how to troubleshoot issues.

My friend has a nice job making around 100K a year installing LCD arrays in company board rooms for Zoom meetings or for control centers. He said it's booming business but it involves basic network integration skills combined with regular work like terminating ethernet and audio cables. He's trying to get me involved so I'm working hard to get up to speed on the basics.

Sounds hot

Nope, sounds like solid goals. Good luck to you!

Thanks

Maintenance complete... Next half will be done Wednesday of next week, but this was a big accomplishment. We had been trying to get this figured out for about a year.
