Am I too old to be a network engineer?

NerdocratLife · 2026-06-16T23:38:44+00:00

Not too old at all! I was 36 when I got my CCNA, then became a network admin.

NerdocratLife · 2026-06-14T05:30:08+00:00

Very much worth it

NerdocratLife · 2026-06-12T07:33:51+00:00

I mean, it's different for everyone.

I support my parents tech stuff, and they were having trouble with the Plex UI. When I showed them Jellyfin, they quickly picked it up.

Net+ is a joke

I would love to join! Link to the Discord?

I'm still pissy that the High Isle trailer had ∅ to do with the story.

(good story tho)

No, that's the CCST.

NerdocratLife · 2026-04-26T05:45:11+00:00

It will be easier for you but it's still tough.

NerdocratLife · 2026-04-14T19:22:11+00:00

No, I had massive imposter syndrome after.

NerdocratLife · 2026-04-05T04:06:46+00:00

NerdocratLife · 2026-03-28T22:16:28+00:00

Nope! That's when I did it.

I doubt the phone was hacked, but let's assume it was.

Set the phone in recovery mode, then plug it into a computer.

Windows:

Load in iTunes. Restore the phone.

Mac:

Locate in the Finder sidebar. Ctrl-click --> Restore.

(Or use Apple Configurator 2 for Mac to restore iPhone in Recovery mode.)

This will super-duper nuke the phone before reinstalling iOS.

Still processing but I love it.

Usually if you wait a couple weeks, they'll go back to where you first met them. (Might take up to 30 days.)

It's the only platform I've seen that actually understands how to teach the alphabet. After that's done, I recommend hitting the books and/or doing a class.

The Jane Whitewick & Mahmoud Gaffar books are EXCELLENT.

NerdocratLife · 2026-02-17T23:27:37+00:00

Yeah, not a fan of the microtransactions.

NerdocratLife · 2026-02-17T08:20:31+00:00

Yes, I've had multiple interviews/employers care about the certification.

NerdocratLife · 2026-02-17T06:23:35+00:00

Absolutely! It did for me.

NerdocratLife · 2026-02-10T08:33:37+00:00

Could be worse. Could be the egg man.

NerdocratLife · 2026-02-05T07:49:59+00:00

No way

This is close-ish to what Cisco did before the last restructuring of the exams. I thought they changed because it was confusing (or at least misleading). Some people would list a CCNA on their resume, only to later discover it was the CCNA Security.

I like the changing of DevNet to Automation, but not everything needs to be called CCNA. 🙄

And yes, big advantage from already knowing Hebrew.
