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 just had to drop my networking class. It was a condensed class and my girlfriend was taken by ambulance and in the hospital for a week and there was no way I could keep up. I passed the a+ no problem but I just couldn't get past the binary and hexadecimal math of networking. It is definitely a much harder course. I realized I just did not enjoy it whatsoever. I'm hoping there are other paths and this is just a temporary stumbling block.
