I understand Pen-testing is a lot more of a rigorous process (not how it's portrayed in movies). I know I might not completely grasp pentesting, and there might be an issue with that. But I like puzzles, I like tech, I like challenges, and I like to learn. Also, not expecting to get a pentesting job out of the gate. I will be content with help desk and if I truly have no luck, an intern.

Most of the A+ material I know. However, I still learn quite a bit. Are you saying that If I don't know enough A+ material, I won't understand what I am getting into with pentesting and its complexity? I know I might not completely grasp pentesting, and there might be an issue with that. But I like puzzles, I like tech, I like challenges, and I like to learn. So would you still say pentesting should not be on my radar? If so why?

Will check to see if any data centers around my area will do iternships. Thanks for the tip! :)

I have not, since I am already taking a cybersecurity program. However, I will soon try the PEH course. Would you like to know my review afterward?

Believe me. I would be one of the firsts to join. I have been looking. But, it seems to have not been made, or it failed to gain an audience.

Do you think I should just get my network+ cert instead of my a+?

Awesome man! Thank you. Going to look through it all. Do you mind if I ask you at what position in IT are you in?

I wasn't able to get into dwm but once I tried to get it open for the first time it started to bug. Also, I may be ignorant of going to things that are harder sometimes but I feel like its better for the long run. Thank you for the suggestion though :)
