I passed yesterday! Lot's of studying for an older fart like me. Professor Messers stuff on Youtube stuff was a big help.

@WITHOUT-ME I didn't take the A+, I took the Security+. Furthermore, I conducted extensive research and spoke with industry professionals. For instance, one of the "Dads" at my daughter's karate class is in Cybersecurity Management at General Dynamics, a global aerospace and defense company, and he suggested I get the Security+ certification. I also learned that if you wanted to get into Cybersecurity, at least in my market, at any .gov, be it municipal, county, state, or Federal, a Security+ cert is a must.

Thanks. 

Almost a year ago, I was perusing my city's job opening page. They had an IT job opening. Guess what cert was required? If you guessed Security+, you would be correct.

as mentioned everywhere, Security+ is required by HR only and giving your ZERO infrastructure knowledge. All you know after S+ is meaning of some DRP, SDP, CDB abbrevs

Any certification is somewhat pointless once you've been in the game for a while since after enough time it's all changed and they're looking for something else. I possibly wouldn't be able to recite anything that I learned from anything that I had to go through educationally. But to get in the game you need a certification to get your foot in the door.

I removed my education section from my CV because my previous experience was enough to get me the jobs. But now I'm my own boss, so I didn't need to submit a CV for that. :laugh:
