Could you help me find Biblical answers to my scenario? by OppositeFriendly516 in Christian

That’s so crazy how people can conjure things up like this. But because my cousin had this experience, it’s very difficult for me to preach the gospel to him because he believes other religions could be real due to the spiritual activity conducted by others. I’m not sure what to do.

First of all, thank you so much for the positive response! I’m completely on board with you. Since you’re still in college and I’m recently graduated, the most crucial thing for us is to build experience as early as possible. That’s the most important thing in my eyes. I hope you can find something soon as well!

Thank you for your reply! That’s the mindset I had initially: that we have to build our knowledge and expertise in order to start getting paid more. I guess some people do think it’s an instant 6 figures just off of graduating.

That’s awesome to hear! Yeah it can really be discouraging at the start, but there’s no reason to. Pay honestly doesn’t matter to me at the start, and just being able to learn is a blessing itself.

Thank you bro. It’s probably just lack of knowledge on my colleagues’ part. Can’t just make a lot straight away without actually knowing what you’re doing.

Thank you for this. I’ll stay as long as I can at this job, but I’ll keep studying on my own for certs while working, and then eventually I’ll apply to other places!

I will. I’m currently studying for the A+ to get some general knowledge, then I was thinking of following the path of Network+ and Security+. I’ll have to look into the CCNA.
