So, I’m being offered to take a sysadmin certification for this particular distribution I know absolutely nothing about. They give me the “necessary info” and then I take an exam. The exam is free, but I must pass it, or else I must pay for it and then take it again. Is this a waste of time and/or money? I would like to hear your opinions. Personally it doesn’t quite click with me. I’m fresh out of uni and I’m trying to learn new stuff, but idk what to do with my life anymore. thx
I’m assuming you are actively looking for a job in a field relevant to your degree? If not, that is your life until you find one; some branching out may be required if your particular field isn’t in demand.
Unless this certification is specifically listed as a requirement for a job your are applying to, don’t do the certification. They are normally expensive and not that helpful.
