Is the A+ still worth it? Should you go into biomed or IT? In this episode, I answer a listener question from someone with an AWS cert, working on the Google IT Support cert, and feeling lost on what to do next.

I break it down into two parts:
✅ What certification to go for next (biomed path vs. IT path)
✅ The study tools I actually use and recommend

Whether you're a career changer or just getting started, this one's for you.

I've failed more IT certifications than I've passed, including the CCNA on my first try, the CCNP, and DevNet. And I'm still in this industry, teaching the CCNA today.

If you've been studying for a certification but keep putting off scheduling the exam because you're scared you'll fail, this episode is for you. Failing isn't the end of your IT journey. It's part of the process.

In this episode:
✅ Why so many people are scared to take their certification exam
✅ What taking the exam gives you, even if you fail
✅ Why nobody is counting your attempts, including employers
✅ How passing after a fail builds real confidence
✅ Practical tips to help you pass, starting with booking your exam today

Hospitals are full of people who aren't in the IT department but are one move away from it.

In this episode, I break down three IT roles in healthcare that people move into from non-IT jobs. They go from working in a department to supporting that same department from the IT side.

We cover:
→ Clinical Informatics: how nurses and clinicians move into supporting the EHR
→ Application Analyst: why every hospital department has an analyst, and why it's often someone who used to work there
→ PACS Administrator: the path from radiology into managing medical imaging systems

If you work in healthcare, you may already know half the job. This episode shows you the other half.

Everyone breaking into IT wants the remote job  but is that actually the right move when you're just starting out? 

In this episode I break down the real case for on-site vs remote support roles when you're brand new to the field: what you gain, what you give up, and why Year 1 might be the one year where being in the building actually matters more than flexibility.

In this episode:
🖥️ Why hands-on, in-person learning speeds up Year 1
👀 The visibility factor most beginners overlook
🔧 Why being on-site means you handle it yourself, not pass it off
🚗 The real trade-offs of commuting, cost, and flexibility
🌍 Where remote actually wins  bigger job market, lower overhead
📉 The hidden downside of remote when you don't know the job yet

Everyone says a call center job is how you break into IT. I spent a couple of months in one and I still don't count it as my first IT job here's why, plus how to tell whether a "help desk" posting is really a help desk or a call center wearing a badge.

Help desk vs call center is one of the most confusing comparisons for anyone trying to break into IT, because sometimes they're the same job and sometimes they're nowhere close. Same headset, same queue, sometimes the same building. The difference isn't the title it's whether there's a technical rung above you that you can actually move up to.

In this episode I walk through what a day actually looks like in each seat, where the real differences are (admin access, ticket ownership, and who you escalate to), the gray area where ISP and MSP call centers can be a legitimate way in, and how to read a job posting and tell which one you're walking into before you apply.

If you're sitting in a call center right now wondering if it counts, this one's for you. You're not behind.

Before I got into IT, I worked in a call center doing tech support. Every call was timed. The time between calls was timed. Bathroom breaks were timed. That was my only reference point for what a job looked like so that's what I assumed IT would be.

I was wrong. About that, and about three other things.

In this episode I go through four beliefs I carried into this industry and where each one broke: what I thought a manager would do, how much I thought I needed to know before taking a role, what I thought would get me promoted, and what I thought the next raise would fix.

If you're trying to break into IT right now, you're probably holding at least one of these. I held all four.

Is networking still worth learning in 2026? 

Short answer: yes  but it's not the same job it was five years ago.

AI isn't replacing network engineers. What it did was split the career into two paths: 

traditional shops where you're on the CLI every day, and modern shops where automation and AI handle a big chunk of the work. 

Most of the country is still traditional. 

Both paths need the same thing from you first.

In this episode I break down what AI actually took off our plates, what it didn't, why the fundamentals matter more now than they did before, and how to reverse engineer your own path by reading job descriptions instead of guessing.

You passed the certification. So why isn't anybody calling you back?

If you've got the cert, updated the resume, and you've been applying for weeks with nothing but silence — you're not doing anything wrong as a person. But something in your process is probably broken.

A certification was never a guarantee. But it should be getting you interviews. In this episode I break down 4 reasons people pass their cert and still can't get hired in IT — and what to change about each one.

Same title. Totally different job.

A network tech at a 50-person company and a network tech at a Fortune 500 can do completely different work for completely different money. The variable most people ignore: company size.

Why it matters: Where you start shapes how fast you learn, what you get exposed to, and how high your ceiling goes. Pick wrong for your stage and you either stall out or get thrown in over your head.

In this episode:

🔹 Small — You touch everything: networking, servers, printers, phones, someone's Outlook. You learn fast and broad. But there's no one senior to correct you, no escalation path, and bad habits go unchecked for years. You learn how to make things work, not how things are supposed to be built.

🔹 Midsize — Real teams, real structure, a real ladder. Someone above you who's already done what you're trying to do. The trade: on-call rotations that come back around fast, and duties that keep piling on as the company grows.

🔹 Large — The biggest pay jump you'll see. Stock, bonuses, cert budgets, six-figure conversations. Also: layoffs, silos, and a pace that doesn't let up. This is the jump from college to the NBA — everybody in the building is good.

My take: Midsize is the sweet spot. Enough structure and pay without the silos and the grind.

The CompTIA A+ has been the default first certification in IT for decades. But in 2026 it'll run you over $600 to get certified and I've got some thoughts on whether that still makes sense.

In this episode I break down what the A+ actually is, who it's built for, what the exams really cost, and what else that same money could buy you. Then I give you my honest recommendation.

✅ What the A+ is and the jobs it can get you
✅ Who this certification is really built for
✅ The true cost — two exams, not one
✅ What that same money could buy you instead
✅ Whether I'd recommend it in 2026
