I'm looking into a similar program. Found an MBA program with a concentration in InfoSec. When you graduate you can also sit for the CISSP.So it's looking like I'm going for my master's in IT Management if i become serious about IT.
What was your background in prior to starting IT?Congrats. What's your background as far as certs/degrees/experience??Just got a new job
Executive desktop support at TWC... working at columbus circle starting next week... doubled my salary 6 months into IT...
getting my security + later this year..
6 months basically... got my A+ and Net+ last year. did a migration project with state farm and got an interview the week after i finished working on that project. No formal education completed but i got over 100 credits from brooklyn college. Should look to finish up next year. I got a little lucky but I worked hard in applying for jobs and learning as much as i can in as little amount of time. My electrical military background is always intriuging to employers as wellWhat was your background in prior to starting IT?
I like your hustle. Keep doing your thing man.6 months basically... got my A+ and Net+ last year. did a migration project with state farm and got an interview the week after i finished working on that project.

This is exactly what im doing using Wifi Analyzer and a MAC app called netspot.Yeah, but you have to look at the business case. It's not like he's working for a medium-large business where the cost of a site survey is feasible/justifiable.
He can do a ghettofied one. Make diagrams in Visio or whatever.

Okay thanks. I don't think I will meet that job title requirement within the next 5 years. I will have to look more into which titles will qualify for the cert.If you take the CISSP now and pass you'll be considered an associate. They will give you 5 years to gain 4 years of experience in two different job titles since you have a degree.

I've been researching UMUC's MS in Cyber Security & MBA Duel degree program since my company will cover the entire program (looking to start this fall). I have noticed your post in the techexam forums from a few years back (assuming that was you). Did you end up pursuing your 2nd MS at UMUC? If so how was it?
I know that their MBA program isn't ranked or anything, but my thinking is that I will get the MS in CyberSec obtain the CEH, SEC+, and CISSP (in accordance with DOD 8750) to help move into cyber roles and the MBA will help me with managerial positions. If a company wants me to get an Executive MBA from a top school then I will pursue that to move up the ranks (on their dime of course).
Do you think this is a good plan? I am not sure how long it would take for me to be able to sit for the CISSP though since I just graduated and have only been working for 4 months. There is an experience requirement of 3 years right?
I don't know how your school works but I declared a minor and it took away some of the math requirements. I only had to take 4-5 math classes.Is there any good alternatives to Computer science that doesn't involve as much math?
Looking at calc puts me in a bad mood. Thinking about calc puts me in a bad mood. Doing homework for calc makes me want to space walk with no suit.
Like it's legitly frustrating me.. No matter the programming course, Java or C+ I learn without problems, solve my assignments with little trouble, and do well on the test. Buy this math :smh
This internship I got as a Data Center Tech.. Honestly has me thinking about dropping if I get hired full time. Can't do this math anymore man.
I have been researching what people are saying and I have been seeing mixed reviews. Most people are saying that you get out of it what you put in and it is not that hands on, but what MS Cyber degree in our area is super hands on and not too expensive? I really want to do GMU's program but a 50K 18month program is not feasible. What other programs are you looking at?Hmm, have you researched what people are saying about UMUC Cyber security? I came across a reddit post or
that mentioned it was nothing really special at and focused on super soft cyber theory instead of
actually hands on situations. My company pays full also and I'm looking for a switch up so I'm kinda interested.
Any web dev's in this thread? (ie. backend, frontend)
Congrats ! What type of educational background do you have not including certs? My goal is to move into upper level management then into exec positions.Wasn't planning on doing desktop support forever, but I got an offer letter for executive level desktop support for a ridiculous amount of money (in my eyes) in D.C.
5 years in IT and I'm reaching goals I could only dream of before turning 30.
I have my A+, Network+ and Security+. Hoping this could translate into a network/security position, or get me in as a Fed. Being a contractor isn't too bad at times I guess.
