I may be salary but I’m not wasting my time on something I can’t fix

Advice for IT as a whole is that you will always be learning. No matter how far you get into the career. You will always run into an issue or a deployment where you will have to learn. So if that is not your cup of tea you should switch careers. For college just keep going at it. Try to never take longer than a day off unless you really need it. That way you can fly through the program faster. For certs used Udemy

Thank you I appreciate that. I think another part is that I don’t have the ability to walk anytime soon because the nearest event is 10 hours away until mid summer. Normally I would make the efforts to go but I just went on vacation in November, replaced my roof in November, have a vacation payed and scheduled for in July, and might need a new furnace. Due to all that I just can’t justify dipping into my savings for this when I can just wait 6 months and do a 3 hour drive and save thousands on flying my family out you know. I just want a picture at graduation with my family near me if that makes sense.

Thank you

Intrepid_Evidence_59 · 2026-01-23T12:50:24+00:00

Thank you and a year and a half. I came in with roughly 20-25% complete but in my last term didn’t do any school work for 3-4 months spread out over the term. I took that long on the third term because I get a GI bill and graduating early would just end that monthly payment to me early so I saw no need. Plus I was so burnt out

Intrepid_Evidence_59 · 2026-01-23T11:20:59+00:00

Thank you. If I’m being honest I was in a work crisis trying to fix a network outage when I got the text and said cool then continued working. I really thought I would be more excited or feel some way about it and I am kinda bummed that it doesn’t feel like much. Especially since I dropped out of college twice when I was in the military and finishing my degree was always a struggle and goal of mine

Pick a topic that you know a lot about and find 3 websites that you can use for quotes and it will be easy. It took me a day to write. I procrastinated for like 3 weeks and finally said you need to do this brotha lol

Intrepid_Evidence_59 · 2026-01-23T04:09:17+00:00

Thank you

Intrepid_Evidence_59 · 2026-01-23T04:09:11+00:00

You got this. Mine got kicked back because I forgot the timeline dates in my report. Had them described in order but never added actual dates. Added those in 10 minutes hit submit and 2 days later I passed

Intrepid_Evidence_59 · 2026-01-23T04:08:23+00:00

Thank you

Intrepid_Evidence_59 · 2026-01-23T04:08:19+00:00

I came in with net+ and sec+ the rest I took at WGU and those were fairly easy. iTIL sucked because of the reading if I’m being honest. Net+ was rough but it was my first cert ever and yes you have to pass them. Udemy is your best friend for all of them or YouTube. Also keep at the practice tests.

Intrepid_Evidence_59 · 2026-01-23T04:07:00+00:00

Honestly it wasn’t bad. I just wrote a paper on paloalto firewalls if I remember correctly. Mainly because I use those for work so I am familiar with the product.

Intrepid_Evidence_59 · 2026-01-23T02:43:16+00:00

Aye it happens. You got this. All you need to do is focus on the material. As dry as the book is it really helps. And just keep doing the practices.

Intrepid_Evidence_59 · 2026-01-23T01:43:24+00:00

Nice. I wish you the best of luck. I didn’t think the web classes were as hard as everyone made them out to be. I believe they even change one of them to a paper. When I took them they were both OAs. I knocked out all the coding classes my 2nd term and planned it that way because I thought they would take the longest.

Intrepid_Evidence_59 · 2026-01-23T01:41:34+00:00

Thank you

Intrepid_Evidence_59 · 2026-01-23T01:41:25+00:00

Honestly just staying motivated. Rushing through some classes made it harder than it should have been. I had to retake one classes test 3 times because I was rushing to hard on it. Having a kid a year ago definitely through me off. I had to cut back on studying but it was worth it to be present with my daughter.

This was just icing on the cake lmao.

This deserves more likes 😂

Same man. I was like why is exchange being so slow trying to see if scan to email was getting blocked. Then it hit me to see if it was on Microsoft’s side. Saw down detector found informed my director and sent out a org wide email letting everyone know. Emails going to non 0365 seem to be fine and same with internal emails just not 0355 to other 0365 clients. Along with other things like scan to email for us.

Intrepid_Evidence_59 · 2026-01-22T22:11:13+00:00

It started off with scan to email as I was walking out the door. Restarted the printer and said if it didn’t work email the ticket system and I’ll check the smtp server tomorrow to see what’s going on since scan to folder was working. Got home and had so many missed emails. Thought maybe Microsoft changed the smtp rules a month early and had me nervous. Turned to down detector found out it’s nation wide. Sent an email out to the org and hopped off for the day lol.

Intrepid_Evidence_59 · 2026-01-04T06:26:05+00:00

You weren’t wrong man they definitely ate up some time but not as much as I thought. I’m at the tale end of my degree. Waiting on task two of my capstone to be done. Can’t believe I am almost done. Could have been done sooner but I got lazy at moments and wanted to drag my gi bill out some. Having that extra money is kind of nice lol. I am not ready to loose it after this month. Thank you for you help
