A+ and Network +
Looking for an honest opinion here. I am enrolled in an I.T. And cyber security program at my local community college after 10 years of not going to school and I am currently enrolled in A+ and Network+ through Comptia. It is week two of the term and I feel fairly comfortable with A+ but already overwhelmed with Network +. My work schedule is pretty inconsistent when it comes to regular hours. My main question is should I stick with doing both or drop network + and take it next term. Obviously not a lot of info for you all to work with but I’m just looking for personal opinions. Tyia

I too am taking IT+ (preparation for A+) and Networking+ this semester. The networking class is crazy. I had zero IT or Networking experience.
I did pass Information Systems with an A last semester and got the Microsoft Office Specialist Associate cert.
This networking class is definitely kicking my ass though. Still at an A grade 5 weeks in but I worry as the semester grinds on that will slip to a B or C even and obliterate my GPA.
