    Yes, it's actually pissing me off reading these comments a little because it's not very helpful to tell me to get experience when I don't have any prior experience. That's why I have these certs and a degree man

    To Linux admins: What certifications/degrees do you guys have?

    I'm trying to decide whether it would be worth spending an additional 2 years upgrading my associates to a bachelor's in CS or not. I don't see much of a demand for the RHCSA in my area (Toronto, Canada) but I see that basically every job posting has a degree requirement. I'd be 25 by the time I finish school with the degree but I honestly just want to start applying for jobs I don't want to waste time. I have the A+, CCNA and LFCS. I get my associates next week. I'm aware that I'll probably get a bunch of responses of people saying "I don't have a degree or certifications!" but I'm genuinely confused as to how you're in IT without either of those things unless you knew someone or got in very early so some elaboration would be nice.

    Do you think this post is racist or not?

    Thank you but that definitely isn't true:)

    I have deep lines on my forehead and pimples/small scars strewn about on my face. Some of this might not be a function of my poor routine but a lot of it is.

    Should I have a github profile as someone who wants to be a network engineer?

    Title. I have my CCST (yes, I should've gotten the CCNA, working on it. My school paid for the voucher) and CompTIA A+. I'm trying to make a presentable resume for networking internships but I'm hearing conflicting advice about whether I should have a github portfolio or not. I host a web server that links to a blog. Some things on that blog include GNS3 labs, packet tracer activities I've created, Bash scripts for simple Linux admin tasks etc. I just have a link to this static website. Why would recruiters open up my github and care about my packet tracer files or daily cron job script for RAID backups? I'm not interested in programming outside of network automation. I've used netmiko before with GNS3 and it's incredible, but I don't see why (or how) I would put those netmiko scripts on github.

    Thanks. A lot of good advice for my dire cable management situation. I do need a bed frame but honestly the mattress I sleep on right now was from my landlord's garage. It's hard and my lower back is nearly destroyed from sleeping on it. I'm saving up first for a softer mattress
