Hello Everyone,
I am a student in college looking to enhance my IT skills beyond the classroom. Would you, other IT pros, have any recommendations for me? I am looking for stuff I can do with little cost. I already have a CCNA and an A+ certification.
I also hold two positions on campus. At the first job, I maintain the server equipment in the number of data centers on campus. Anything from racking the servers to installing HBA’s to troubleshooting some of the hardware problems. At the second job, I am a PHP/MySQL web developer in charge of implementing a new content management system for the rest of the college. From there I have picked up project management skills as I am the lead of a 6 person team working on the project.
I am looking for other recommended skills that would help my compete for a job once I am finally ready to leave school. I am also considering to become a life long student by attending CERIAS and staying within the academic environment by ultimately attaining a professorship.
Any thoughts or recommendations would be helpful. Thanks.
