[Formerly Black Trash]

I'm currently finishing up a networking class and realizing I can teach myself most of this shyt myself

But I wouldn't have access to the actual equipment and ivery learned lot from touching the shyt

How'd you guys get started if you didn't have access to the equipment?

You don't have to get your CCENT or CCNA to get a job. I didn't have any certs at all when I started working in IT. Certs or not, you're going to have to start at the bottom, somebody with no experience isn't going to just start out as a Network Engineer.

Basically, what I'm saying is you need to start applying for helpdesk/desktop support jobs and work your way up.
