Anyone still using testout in here? For the CCNA it's kind of annoying as it will explain one concept but the quizzes will include information that's not taught until the next section. Thinking about just doing the labs and starting the practice tests. Going video by video doesn't seem to be the best use of time.


Just picked up this book for 2.99 on AMAZON KINDLE .

I'm currently 19 entering my junior year of college after switching my major from ME to Business without a concentration as of yet. How does one start off getting into the IT world/Coli Cert Gang?

Dealt with what may be a shady Staffing agency, Y'all ever experience that? trying to submit you for stuff you might not be qualified for just so they can see if it sticks.
:martin:
what's shady about that though? like how big of a discrepancy is there between your skill-set and the job listing? sometimes that can be a come up.
