Hi everyone. My SO lost his job today due to COVID and so we’re on the lookout for new opportunities. He doesn’t have a degree but is interested in working in IT. His last employer was a tech company

Happy to help! ❤️

OP, you mentioned he’s working Sec+; is he wanting to move into security? If so what aspects?

Also recommend posting this in our cybersecurity bowl if that is the end goal

Thank you!!

Being honest, it could be pretty tough without a degree. Does he have any college credits? There are some relatively inexpensive, self-paced but also fully accredited options to get a degree quicker than the traditional route. Very little name recognition, but it’d help to put a check in the box. Just enrolling and starting to take classes may help address the education question.

Good luck! It’s definitely possible without a degree but, from personal experience, it’s just a heck of a lot easier with one.

Hi all, update here. My SO just got 2 job offers today! We took some of the recommendations here and worked on upskilling and he’s in progress with his degree. Thank you all again for your guidance!!

That’s so awesome!! Congrats to both of you! Thank you for the update.

Do you think using “him/her” for “he/she” (ex: “her is playing” “him not here yet”) is something that kids usually grow out of? Or does it need direct intervention? I have 2 students who exhibit this error, who otherwise should be dismissed. Normally I’d just keep them on and work on it alongside other goals, but they don’t have any other goals, and with COVID, and my upcoming maternity leave in March, a more compact caseload would be advantageous.

I am deeply shocked and hurt for the kind of things she has spoken for me and for my family in front of everyone, I don’t want to live with her anymore, i am feel very low and lonely but i fear that they would drag my family to the court and imply fake FIR as they say and she said very clearly that she will not let me walk out of this marriage easily. They have trapped us by pretending like a very good family with values, and showed their true colours after the marriage. Please suggest

16 weeks and so worried all of the stress I’m under is going to hurt the baby. Between work, my own scary (non-pregnancy) health stuff, the pandemic, my mom (who is a widow and lives alone, basically isolated by choice due to covid) is having health issues, and pressures to keep billable hours up, I’ve been having complete breakdowns. Today I spent almost the entire day crying and now have to make up the billable time this weekend. I really worry abt what effect this will have on the babe.
