Believe it or not, my passion for technology began with a Computer Networking course!
I loved learning about networking devices, the OSI model, protocols, subnetting and so on. I would spend all day just reading and creating flashcard for myself because I wanted to retained what I had learned.
Then I learned about CompTIA certifications and how that could help in landing a job in IT.
So the next logical thing to do was to get certified. Currently, I have my A+ and Security+ certs, but no work yet.
I truly believe that if I can grasp the world of technology, anybody can...it just takes emerging yourself into the topic.
