      I passed the exam in July. I passed the Network+ exam in April and re-applied my study habits. However, I have little practical experience in Security. My plan include educating myself and finding volunteer or shadowing time to develop my skills in network security for the remainder of the year.

Though not super hard, I am very intimidated because there's hundreds if acronyms and definitions. That's a ton to memorize for sitting at the exam. Also, still trying to figure out how they will come up with PBQ for it.

I now have 2 years Service Desk experience and I have 5 classes left to get my Bachelors in Cybersecurity. My next goal is finish school, pass the security plus cert, & get hired for a security role.

    With CompTIA certs don't take it to get a job take it to learn as much as you can and pass and then try for a job. Most companies have an IT department even if your role is not IT based the skills that you have along with your certification, and your willingness to let your manager know your career path will eventually land you a job internally or try the contract to hire.

CompTIA is more on the basics of what security is and what to do and what not to do on a network. CCNA security is the Cisco way of securing an infrastructure. Good luck!

    I've never stepped foot in IT before. Should I start with this certification if this is my end-goal career? or start with Comptia A+ just to get my bearings?

      If you want to go straight into security than the security+ is a great start. Otherwise the A+ is a great cert to introduce you to IT.

    • @XcaliberFrosty
      @XcaliberFrosty 6 років тому +1

      It definitely won't hurt to get it. It let's people know you have a bit more hands on knowledge of Security. Degrees are not bad but you see more jobs asking for Assoc./Bach and certs rather than Masters or so. Plus, the higher levels require the higher level certs.

      @mattyjay1711 5 років тому

      If you're talking about getting a secret clearance to work for the govt., You should be fine. The background check for secret I think asks for the last ten years as far as criminal history in concerned. Top secret I think might be any past criminal history. That being said, I don't think that's an automatic disqualifier, as long as they're isn't any pattern of criminal history, you should be good.

    Dang bro. Looking to get into a cyber security field. Apart from Security+, what other courses would you recommend? I’ve read multiple different things from different sources, so it does get difficult to find definitive certifications or classes that will actually help me. Trying to start at this young so it can pay for college.
