Tips on getting certs? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
submitted 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) by SpiceDealer@lemmy.dbzer0.com to c/programming@programming.dev

A couple of weeks ago, I made this post over at !asklemmy@lemmy.world asking if I should go back to university. After some thoughtful consideration, I've decided to pursue certs; specifically Comptia A+ and then the Network+. I'm almost done with an A+ study guide I bought and feel almost ready to take the exam. But I've also wanted to hear about your experience on getting tech certs and the career that followed. Any advice is welcomed. Thanks in advance.

you'll be sitting in a chair instead of breaking your back

Oh, you'll still be breaking your back. (Invest in a standing desk before it's too late!)
