Feast Your Eyes 👀

From the Pages of Certification Magazine:

Your Mom Went to College

There is frequent debate inside the IT industry about whether a college education is essential to IT career success. We can't tell you whether certified IT professionals value their college degrees. But we can tell how many certified IT professionals have college degrees. (Hint: A lot of them.) 

Graduation Illumination 🎓

Cybersecurity Starter Kit

The Grow with Google education program embraces a lot of different IT topics, including cybersecurity. The Google Cybersecurity Certificate is a little unique, however, because it is linked to the CompTIA Security+ certification exam. Earning both is a great way to get a foot in the cybersecurity career door.
