Does anyone work mainly from home? If so, what job do you do, and what are the best skills needed if you want to work mainly from home. Im assuming programming but are there others?

Where I work most analyst have the option to work a few days and senior analyst get the option to strictly work from home. It's not so much skills, more so what your position requires you to do and whether your company trusts you. Most positions will state if working remote is available or not.

Prefessor messor and the comptia objectives is all you need imo. Go through each objective until you understand each of them to where you could give a person who doesnt know anything about the individual objective a qucik explanation without having to look it up. Purchase his notes for like 10 bucks and memorize them. They may not all be on the test but there will be some. You study that you should be good. Also you may want to get a practice test when you feel your ready. I want to say say transender was the closet to the test if I remember correctly(dont hold me to that though).

Check out Professormesser.com. Purchased a CompTia book from amazon. Get you a cheap computer with a Windows 10 Enterprise version to use as a lab. You need learn how to navigate in operating system and practice configurating Windows setting. Also, you need to learn each hardware components in the computer and its job function.

Brehs what is the cert/career path for someone who wanted to be a Network Tech for a cable company/ISP (i.e. Verizion FIOS, AT&T Uverse, Comcast Xfinity, Spectrum, & etc)? I'm talking about the dude they send over to your crib if your internet/tv service/home phone line isn't working or to install those services.
