"Guided Learning Path" is something I have been telling people for over a decade now. People love to say that certifications dont get you a job. Skills get you a job. The first thing I always ask them is how do you even know what to study to get those skills???????? A certification is no guarantee you are going to get those skills. But it gives you a guided learning path to get them. Learning those skills is up to you. From the employer side it gives a barometer of what you "should" know.

I'm a Network/Systems Admin with the CompTIA Trifecta studying for CCNA. It's been hard to study after having a new baby. I gotta stay focused to complete my goal of becoming an Engineer.

Same man! After the baby studying is harder. I've learned to just accept my study schedule won't be as predictable as it was before

Hang in there... I got 3 little ones so I know the struggle... I wish I could say it gets easier but just stay focused on your end goals. You'll get there.

Can relate to the part where you had to take a pay cut to jump into the field. I was in the similar situation, didn’t see growth in the position I was in but I had a passion for tech. I took a paycut just to get into tech and was able to make back what I made at my last job in less than a year!

Currently rebuilding my resume from the ground up and getting into the mindset to move into a different role. I'm comfortable in my current position as a Field Service Engineer, but the growth opportunity and pay leave a lot more to be desired. This video popped up on my feed right on time. I've been thinking about moving into Networking or Security.

I have noticed that recruiters try to box you into your current job title no matter what you know. Perhaps networking and displaying your projects online would be a good angle to approach the exit from the HD. I just create my own experience going to market with a service that I provide to the market. It’s a way to get real experience. Consulting with medium sized businesses. Start your business. Fiverr. Upwork… Local jobs etc

Can you do a video on how to build the perfect resume for Network Engineer

@Philliprgarcia 3 ай бұрын

I have a very similar story to yours, I worked as a CNC machinist and was making good money. Hated my job though, I switched to IT and started at the bottom on helpdesk and took a 20K pay cut. Made back my salary within one year when moving up to an IT specialist. I am now a Sys admin, and working at my CCNA on the road to become a Network Engineer, but sure is hard when there are so many other things to learn like the cloud. I also have kids so it is hard, but doable with an understanding, and supportive partner!

Wow, what click bait. The thumbnail implies that someone can be a network engineer and earn $120k within 6 months. Now, there is no doubt that there are a few people that have done this. Regardless, people with 6 months of experience... no way they're worth $120k Tim, good work in advancing through your career.
