Quick question(I hope I am explaining this right)- I am paying for my Comptia A+ test soon and the price of the test is 221$ but Comptia has an exam voucher that is 97$ do I go with the exam voucher instead of the actual price of the test how does that work??

Got a 2 dollar pay raise at my new gig as a Support Desk Analyst with American Family Insurance 
from a 3 person IT team to a 52 person team I wonder what that'll be like.

A big event that I would've had to support got cancelled!

Did you have work experience before this gig? I'm trying to start off in Desktop Support.
Thinking about switching careers. What I'm doing now probably isn't sustainable looking forward 5-7 years from now( because I have a family) although I do make decent money (6 figures). I want to see if I can pick and learn my way into
another 6 figure paying job, even if it takes me years, I'm willing to put in the work. What would be the best route? I already got a shyt load of classes from umedy years ago but lately was looking at that coursea app.

yep this my 2nd place. I worked a IT support role at a call center for almost 11 months beforehand.
I have to be going through what is the worst transition in the history of the world 
Our company is moving and being taken over, I was offered more money to stay but I did some research and took the payout to stick around and help out then leave in June
Everyone thought I was trippin, now all these new cats who are friends of the new directors are coming in who don't know shyt, complete chaos - workload for most has tripled.
I've been working from home for the last month from now till June - there is a project freeze during the transition so nothing new can be started
I'm get the occasional phone call and answer some questions but otherwise I'm just studying for more certs

A lot of troubleshooting questions and a couple simulations. Know the tcp/ip port numbers by heart. Also the 802.11 wireless frequencies. I didnt get a lot of hardware questions other than printers. I failed my first shot because i overlooked troubleshooting and was focused on memorizing pin counts and shyt then my test ended up being 60% troubleshooting. Passed on the second try. Good luck
you got a link to the the tcp/ip port numbers breh???

Watch professor messers youtube video on tcp/ip it has the numbers and goes in depth on the topic. Id advise you to watch all his 901 videos to prepare for the test.
