Fun story, my company just kicked off a PoC with crowdstrike 2 days ago. So far my computer was the only one that the agent was on as we had other work that needed to be done and we paused the rollout to the rest of my team. I woke up to boot loop hell today. Got it fixed right away, but so glad we didn’t roll it out any further. Not a good look to be starting a PoC with.
I agree. I had to watch it for a film class in college. So boring. It maybe was good in its time, but terrible in the early 2000s.
I get this reference
My local Lowe’s has a bin to drop them in near the exit after checkout.
The home Depot has a drop bin near the entrance.
I’ve got some college but no official degree as well. I did a bootcamp for a CCNA with 0 experience in 2012. It was like learning a foreign language. I had to buy the official cert guide and studied hard for a year, I eventually got the CCNA cert in 2014. After that I kept getting additional Cisco certs, CCNA - security, CCNA - cyberops, and now am working on the CCNP. Once I got my CCNA I was able to get into a help desk position, and have moved up to analyst, and engineer. With each job jump have increased salary 30-50%. Honestly in tech I’d recommend moving around every 1-3 years to get that pay bump.
If you have a good manager, they will recognize that a college degree in IT and security specifically is not really necessary.
Some certs to look at for entry level network security, Cisco cyberops associate or CompTIA security+
Homebrewing. I have made many a beer over 8 or 9 years. They get better with each batch, but along with it is another new piece of equipment to make the process easier or more efficient.

My man, this is completely it. I got clean in 2008 from iv heroin and cocaine. I was at death’s doorstep when I made an attempt on my own life. But it is ultimately a choice. Since then I’ve gotten married, bought a house, had kids and am living a life worth living and loving it all. Is it hard and stressful at times, absolutely, but it is 100% worth it.
Edit: grammar
For sure, my previous company I left last August ran CS for 3 years and we had no issues. Hopefully they hire a bunch of QA folks that were probably part of the layoffs earlier this year.
