Whats next? Graduating soon.

Hey everyone I have another question for you all. This Saturday I will graduate with 2 AAS degrees. 1 is Network engineering and 1 in Cybersecurity. I have my Net+ and Sec+ vouchers coming in soon (payed for by the school so I dont have them yet) and I'm feeling confident for those. My question is what is next? I was a data center lab assistant for my school and worked on great projects. Im working on putting walk-throughs and scripts on my github to show I know documentation and how to actually do tasks. Constantly building and adding to my homelab and documenting everything. My original plan was to start my Bachelor's 1 or 2 classes at a time just to stay out of debt.

Do i just flood all my effort into looking for a job? Do I go all in and work on the Bachelor's? What would you do?

Hey everyone! I was recently given a HP Proliant dl 360 g7 with 2 Xeon E5649s, 196gb of Ram, and 4 recently purchased 1.2tb SAS drives from my job. it was getting replaced and they said i could take it. My current homelab is running off of a old optiplex with 16gb of ddr3 and a 4 core cpu.

Would you run it or just toss it? power in my area is aprox 16¢ and i have a place to put it so sound and heat wouldnt bother me. Just want some outside opinions.

Hey everyone! hoping to get some advice here. I am studying for my Net+ and Sec+ and i more then understand the material, But I never have tested well on theory based things, in any subject. I just passed my TestOut Security Pro exam (offered through my school) and it was great because it was all lab sim based. Things were i am given an end goal and just do it. I know the knowlege and can implement it all with no issue. When it comes to written tests, thats when i struggle.

I am wondering if anyone here has similar issues and how they overcome it, and/or some more hands on style exams that arent like OSCP level of course.
