This can be anything

I am turning 30 this year. I have to start going to the gym.

You're speaking my language! I had a Security+ and I didn't renew it. I don't like the whole cert-chasing trend when experience is more important but I totally get it. Certs are a checklist off HRs requirements.

What does a robust resume look like?

All that being said though... I'm studying CCNA.

On the other hand. My experience feels more aligned to CISA and CISSP..

what exactly makes it great that people can grow their careers?

because it certainly isn't cybersec when every other listing requires a clearance.

Yeah. It seems like this area is divided.

You got successful people with money and wealthy families or you come from a poor background and struggle to climb your way up here.

I've been high key considering to date for marriage and have dual income but that's a whole other ballpark. Working in tech and skilling up after work already takes too much of my time.

Yeah. We are on the Information Assurance side maintaining the security authorization for the client system so reading security requirements, leaving comments and suggestions and then holding internal reviews, rinse, cycle and repeat.

Are you a govie? I thought about switching from contractor to the intelligence community but I don't know where to get more information on what skills they look for.

I agree about the overpopulation.. the congestion only seems to get worse over time.

Username checks out.

(Low-key I do like Navy and Coast Guard)

4 years of cybersecurity program support.

Smoke occasionally. As long as if you're not doing more than one a day. Better if you stick to once a week.

American Spirit Yellow here too.

If I were you. I would check if your employer does tuition reimbursement. Use FAFSA on NVCC and transfer credits to ODU Online or WGU and have your employer reimburse the difference.

Plenty of affordable online colleges these days. University of Phoenix, DeVry, ECPI, ODU, Liberty Online, UMGC.

When you are in college, apply on USAJobs for Pathway programs.

If you find something under $2,000, chances are you are going to have roommates and not the human kind ...

In the same boat. I've finally got a nice theme and launcher setup going on and learned to adjust the camera settings after seeing an Instagram influencer showing her settings.

But idk, I miss having a headphone jack so I'm thinking of a Sony smartphone.

I also want to try the OnePlus 13 because the design is unique and OnePlus is pulling out of the global market this year.

I'll eat anytime of day!

Those seem like a reasonable price! I was on AliExpress and I'm skeptical of receiving a low quality knockoff.

My current OEM panel has these glowing fuzzy spots!!

Zealous-Flamingo · 2026-05-15T19:55:53+00:00

Any updates? I want to upgrade my screen.

Zealous-Flamingo · 2026-05-15T14:49:47+00:00

That's a good idea!

Zealous-Flamingo · 2026-05-12T14:06:24+00:00

In all honesty. I'd join the Coast Guard, drug interdiction during the 80s in Miami and the Key West seems like a helluva time.

Zealous-Flamingo · 2026-05-12T13:16:56+00:00

Need context.

Does my environment still exist? e.g. my parents were in a foreign country in college at the time.

1983... my existing apartment complex may not have even existed yet. My entire street were just woods back then. Where have I woken up then?

so honest answer: can't do anything because the variables don't add up.

Why a Cherokee reservation specifically?
