Everyone is saying good things and letting you know what was hard to them.. but certain things click quicker to others. The clases are this essentially:
Intro to IT (A+), software (installing an OS), ccna 1 and 2 (switches and routers), sec+ (different security measures taken), and then your field exercise if they still do one. Google it up and dont stress out. School will teach you what you need to know.

Honestly, if you can use the Google box then you are good to go. I have been working as a System/Network Administrator since I got out and quickly learned that a little Google-fu can go a long way. Heck, I built my first website using HTML5 and PHP pages in one weekend and a case of Mt Dew (back when I drank soda).

SGT Steve Hines-Saich B.S. M.S. Cybersecurity - I'm talking in general. I mean I know with my job here at American Eagle Outfitters, I was put in charge of their backups and monitoring tools. I knew a little bit about the tools they were using but after spending some time reading up on them, I been able to step right in and run both systems and improve on things.
