If I pay for a CompTIA exam version without the retake, if I do fail would I have to pay the same price again or would the price be lower for the retake?
Yeah you have to pay for the text again.

Anybody got info or guides for CISSP? Thanks
I can give you the study material I used, if you want, they modified the objectives a bit though, but the content is still the same.

Brehs quick question, Ive decided im going back to college to study Cyber Security. Personal reasons at home were also part of the reason why Im choosing to go to college over just staying, working and getting certs but I was just thinking right now, can I not put in work whilst at college and get certs at the same time as getting my degree? Is that achievable and realistic?

Cant wait to get started, I'm real optimistic about the future. I'm ready to put in the work to join yall :myman:

If you can land internships you wont need certs besides maybe the ones later in your career like CISSP

Is that because I'll have experience on my side? I have the chance of doing an internship in my 2rd year I think. You don't think it would be beneficial to have the certs as well tho just incase?

Thanks for the help breh

Experience trumps all. You do whatever you can to get it whether it be university or certs. Once you have solid experience certs dont matter. Most of the people in this thread are trying to get experience.

Why my title say Architect :damn::huhldup:


@J Money apply for entry level IT/computer lab positions; at school, asap. Get a cert or learn to code. Use that exp. and skill to get a better position after 6 months to a year.
