This september im gonna start learning it. Im 31 years old and got no idea how it works but i will give my best. Will have to see if i can master it or am i too old and stupid. There is schools teaching it here. Not university but like profession school, 2 or 3 days a week and 2 years and you get all the practical skills to start working

You are never to old to start and learn. I was 45 when I first got started in IT. Started with Hardware, transitioned to Customer support, Data Center Admin, network engineer & Satellite communications eventually.

The main thing I have learned is the more you learn the more you realize there is to learn.

If you haven't done it I recommend the 1st class you take is typing/keyboard. That was one of the smartest things I ever did.

That’s encouraging to hear. I’m 36 and making a career change to network administration, and maybe cybersecurity down the line. Already got my CompTIA A+ certification and am preparing for the CCNA. Tried front end web development for a while but hated it.

A+ is the easiest certificate you will ever get and it doesn't expire.

I Hate test. I did school for computer science and them all the MCSE classes but never did the test.
I prefere hardware and worked in a MS data center with $$$$ high end servers, racking, stacking and config as well as troubleshooting.

I also did web design/html for a short time but didn't like it.

Then/now I do exactly what I said I never wanted to, working with routers. I've done all the CCNA classes but again not the test. I'm already working where I want to be so why???

I don't have any I terest in CCNP or CCIE. My brain can't handle any more. LoL

The A+ does expire after like 3 years, but yeah, it wasn’t too bad. I need to take the CCNA cause I don’t have a CS or IT degree. Need to prove myself somehow. For you, yeah, it doesn’t make a difference.

When I got mine it said it didnt expire. Im probably grandfathered in but either way it doesnt matter, Im not planning on looking for something new.

I know all the MCSE, CCNA and those expire after about 3 years. That would suck taking them all the time. You spend a couple months doing nothing but preparing for the next text.

Hopefully you have a passion for it. Its a lot of work.
