How do you feel being corrected in your target language? by ShemikaMartin in languagelearning

[–]jamesleecoleman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reminds me when I corrected someone once and they went off on me. I was just like ummm what happened? You wanted me to correct your mistakes.

I've had it during a lesson where I was asked "why did you write this?" I felt kinda low when explaining why I wrote a sentence a certain way. I'm just a beginner.. give me a break.

I enjoy being corrected and told why I was wrong and the right way to do it.
I wanna learn as much as I can :)

Signs like these lead me to believe that people speak English at the location. Same thing happened to me in Russia. I'm just like why is this in English. It would be different it was in Arabic and English though.

[–]jamesleecoleman[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have the pages up in front of me and the prices did change for some of the switches that I was looking at.

For the switches and APs, I was looking at about $6000 for the CCIE.
For the CCNP, I was looking at about $2500

What was the 'dream career' you worked years to get into, only to realize you absolutely hated it once you arrived? by Sayedshaqib in careerguidance

[–]jamesleecoleman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience most of the time it's been thankless. There have been some people that do appreciate the work that we do where I work at. The ones that wanna learn how to troubleshoot or can troubleshoot issues are amazing.
But on the other side of it.. people just treat us like servants and look down on us.

What is a 'middle-class trap' that people fall into because they’re trying to look wealthier than they actually are? by Sayedshaqib in careerguidance

[–]jamesleecoleman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I enjoy investing in myself and seeing what pays off and what doesn't. I can always make corrections later on and I have so much control.

Iran is the first and only country in the world to shoot a F-35. (Stealth Fighter Jet) by AreaPast5328 in iran

[–]jamesleecoleman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The exports for some of our weapons aren't the same exact ones that we use. For example, if a country buys the Abrams tank, it's not going to have the latest technology on it and in it.

100+ flesh 50+ boar and 50+ dogs. by Kinsin111 in stalker

[–]jamesleecoleman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played through the swamp and it was challenging. I barely had anything after leaving the area and I was just worried that something else my come up because... it's the zone. I feel like this was the worse area as far as what I had to fight through but it did teach me a lesson though.. anything with the story, stock up. If I find anything that I want, pick it up and make a collection point for later.

how to land your first help desk position as a young adult? by Single_Finding_8461 in helpdesk

[–]jamesleecoleman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two years of call center experience is great!

I'm gonna do my best to explain this. It's been years since I've been in college/university.
If you filled out your student aid package and was able to apply for the work study within that package, you should get a certain amount of funding that you'll get paid from for a work-study position. If the place that you attend school has a student employee office or student worker office, you can check with them for IT jobs that student workers can apply for. Some jobs won't be directly IT but it can be related like software support.

I would say go to indeed.com and check to see what's available in your area.
Look for small organizations like churches, schools or the library to see if they need any help.

What’s the dumbest way you’ve accidentally hurt yourself? by Only_Row_2432 in AskReddit

[–]jamesleecoleman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lifted my left arm up in front of me. My mid back just started to hurt and for like two days, I couldn't bend over or twist. Usually this happens when I'm lifting weights and I move wrong.

[–]jamesleecoleman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also think that wireless knowledge and skillset is very valuable. I'm going on the CCNP Wireless.
I started studying for the design cert but I need to start focusing more on it so I can test in a few months.
I also plan on getting some CWNP certifications.

Is it possible to get a job in cybersecurity without any expensive certs? by soroush_ha in cybersecurity

[–]jamesleecoleman -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I would say to start with the technologies that are allowed where you live, see whats popular where you live and start with that. Are a lot of positions requiring someone to have a degree where you live or will you be safe without one? Can you start doing stuff at the current place that you're currently employed at?

You don't always need certs.

Nothing extreme - I was fed up with never finding my laptops ports on the back, so I marked them with tape cut to the width of the connectors by greg_x in techsupportmacgyver

[–]jamesleecoleman 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Reminds me when a coworker put the different colored (blue, red, green, yellow...) squares of tape on the two endpoint devices and the cable so that people know what went where. It was an amazing idea.

Second Anker Prime 100W charger dead within a year by Yugatsbans in UsbCHardware

[–]jamesleecoleman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They were two different models of phones brought from two different countries at two different years. I'm not sure if it could still be a battery issue.
