A couple of weeks ago, I made this post over at !asklemmy@lemmy.world asking if I should go back to university. After some thoughtful consideration, I’ve decided to pursue certs; specifically Comptia A+ and then the Network+. I’m almost done with an A+ study guide I bought and feel almost ready to take the exam. But I’ve also wanted to hear about your experience on getting tech certs and the career that followed. Any advice is welcomed. Thanks in advance.

    I’m a recent graduate with an MS IT of Purdue Global, and the classes in AWS were pretty unhelpful. However I wanted to get actually certified in AWS.

    I mostly did this by taking practice tests, and putting the topics onto flash cards, and drilled the flash cards into my brain. That’s just how I learn though. Drill the definitions into your head until they are down cold.

    I passed the certificate in May. I currently have a job, but I have my eye open for a new one that matches my new skills.
