good to hear the A+ has improved. I must've seen it not long before the 05 revision. They had questions like, "What interrupt does the real time clock use on a standard PC/AT system?" ugh ..... :ugh: (I used to know that, and even back then it didn't even matter anymore. lol) Remember, though, to scoobypwnz and all - IMO, the bar is set fairly low on these exams. Read a prep book, know a few things, and take it - it's a multiple choice for pete's sake. Easy. Not like you gotta ace it.
i have the old test from the early 2000's its kinda stupid......my friend took the A+ and failed it recently....it asked a question "if a plastic packaging melts to your hands what do you do?" the answer was call the manufacturer it was wierd
HAHAHA! Don't worry dude. Just keep plugin. If you got any skills you'll find something. If you enjoy working on computers you'll be golden. I LOVE what I do. And I get paid. What?
yeah i love what i do..i actually worked help desk for 2 weeks while i was in college...but i had to quit it because they were going to make me work over nights 11 to 7 am ugh...my classes were 5 30 pm to 10 30 am :\ so i wouldnt get much sleep at all so i was forced to leave...i liked the job...although it had 5 or 6 ticketing systems....bleh hahaha
alright, after reading the thread, i have a few thoughts. 1. the so-called "job placement" at your school is exactly what it sounds like. they will get you a job. 95% placement means that they have placed 95% of the students that have used their service in a job. whether it is UPS, fedex, mcdonalds or menards, that is considered a placed student. Last ditch imho. 2. it's really hard to say whether or not the associates will be enough to get you in the door somewhere. the market was still pretty rough in 2001 when i started with just an associates. i still only have an associates, but my 7 years in the industry carry me from job to job. (i'm in the process of gett my BS) 3. if you live with your parents, now is the time to get your foot in the door and get paid whatever you can. having a cheap place to live is priceless. i worked as a temp for $10/hour for about 1 1/2 years before i was salaried. if you have rent to pay, you may end up getting a 2nd job, whether that be schlepping cell phones at a kiosk in the mall, or making change at your local gas station, do what you need to. 4. take _ANY_ job you can find. helpdesk, night shift, whatever it is. experience > * get all this stuff out of the way to pave a solid future before you are married and have kids. the burden of responsibility increases tenfold once you have others relying on you. good luck with your search, i'll post back if i think of anything
