Well, as of a couple hours ago, I have one more certification under my belt as I continue working towards a BBA in CIS. Last year, I earned my A+ certificate, but I hadn't had the money to continue on. Well, I had one opportunity to take my Network+ at no charge earlier in the week. It was a very hectic week at work, and I went in Wednesday with less than 24 hours' preparation for the time.
I failed, but I was close enough that I knew I had to retest and soon.
So I scheduled a test for today, the last day the school was open before the holidays, and spent the intervening time making sure I knew protocols for Novell (which were NOT well covered in our class, but were well covered in my first exam). This test started off much better as I didn't even need to think about the first three or four questions. I passed this time around.
This makes leaving my current job somewhat bittersweet. I love the job, but I'm finding myself growing past the help desk in a company that doesn't have room for that growth. Yes, at my new job I'll be starting at the helpdesk, but somehow I'm doubting I will be there much longer than I absolutely need to be.
