Who here REALY has 6 Certs?

*spelled Really wrong in the title*

Do you also have a degree or just 6 certs

Im asking because it's time consuming..took up my time trying to get 2 on top of life getting in the way.

Then again I guess living at home for a while helps

I had 6+ certs but a good portion of them have lapsed. I'm in sales now so unless I'm getting the CISSP or CCIE Security, I'm not too worried about it and now just focused on getting my degree.

When studying I just had an iron clad study plan and focused on quality of time instead of quantity. I never put a date on when I would finish so I never put a rush on myself and with the time I allotted tried to make the most of it. I also took handwritten notes (doesn't work for everyone but I always get reinforcement writing instead of typing) and created flash cards. It's really all in having a plan of attack before going in.

Degree plus 5 certs...yes, I would spend my weekends holed up in my apartment studying for hours. It sucked. It got depressing when I wasn't getting the gigs I wanted so I just kept stacking and it paid off. I hit six figures.

Lol I had these two girls trying to date me and hang out. I curved them and spent my weekends reading pdf documents, doing cloud tutorials..learning till it became second nature. Now it's just a habit for me.

which cert got you the big increase

Cissp and aws..were the main ones. I was doing network infrastructure(actually building out u.s infrastructure) before that. Some companies will waste your time because you don't have experience....but they took a chance. I just kept on grinding and self learning.

Subs. And for those who have already posted, add the certs you possess if you wouldn't mind.

You can get a cert in 1-2 months. Takes four years to get a degree

Granted but a degree's relevancy(depending on the major) last longer than a cert. A degree from 2012 still works for a breh, a cert from the same era(unless it's a foundational cert like network + or A+) becomes powerless
