I can vouch for this, certs are everything in the IT industry. apple certs especially.

That is pretty good experience and a nice little thing to add on your resume if your applying for a system administrator, how old are you if you dont mind me asking?

Get a C# programming job. You just have to type one letter and it fills in the rest for you, but they still pay you like you're a real programmer

22 years of age. I don't have any certs; thought about A+ just to get my foot in the door, but I was real busy with school this entire year.

I don't actually know any languages, outside of Russian and English.

Possible new acquisition? What say ye?

Theft recovery, so a few things are broken, and it has a rebuilt title...

It is local though, so I might just snatch it up... Depends on if that Supra gets sold or not...

OrbitalEllipses · 05-07-2012, 10:15 PM

Rebuilt titles are a trap.

I know, but I was thinking if we picked it up for cheap enough, we might be able to:

1) Fix it up and do a small amount of mods to get a bit of profit, if possible.

2) If we get it for a really good price then my brothers and I could go hardcore on the mods and make it a street/track car. But it would have to be for an amazing price for us to do that....

No one really respects A+ any more, go for a security +, a lot more valuable to get your foot in the door. If someone only told me this advice when I was 21/22 I'd be a lot better off!

Not true, A+ is easy enough to get and when I'm hiring entry level people it's a big plus to see on a resume. I'd rather have someone with an A+ certification then a computer science degree in most cases.

OrbitalEllipses · 05-07-2012, 10:49 PM

I would actually do both A+ and Sec+, if I did any at all.

I agree. While it's not a deal breaker, it certainly makes it easier to get through the initial screening process particularly if you have little or no relevant experience.

diff lines of work those 2 arent really related. More bang for the buck is sec+ when it comes to whats "IN" these days with employers in the DC Metro Area I meant too say.

I know cause Ive been in the security field for almost 10 years now. Its a nice market out there.

OrbitalEllipses · 05-07-2012, 10:53 PM

I was about to say that Sec+ is "hot". Large quantity of security types get hired in DC Metro area, as well.

I just noticed the '92 NSX is 270hp and weighs 3010 lbs....

The Zx6 is less that in weight and just 70 hp shy a V6 car... Imagine the Zx6 with some mods up to at least 250hp and maybe ~50lbs less and you have a serious competitor to the NSX legend D:

..too bad you cannot beat the NSX's 46in. height as to the Zx6's 50in.
