Then you should enjoy it. I thought that's what I wanted to do as well, but it turns out it wasn't quite for me, even though I was good at it.

Don't think that doing the course material with brains off will be enough for a solid career path (CCNA+CCNP at least). Put thought into the stuff and question why you're doing things the way you're told. Try to really understand what you're doing, don't just mindlessly copy the configuration from instructions. Also, play with the hands-on stuff as much as possible. Expand your lab assignments and discuss with your teacher.

Anyone can pass with multi-choice exams but not many can actually gather some knowledge.

I was in college for that but ended up leaving because it wasn't for me. I was doing very well in the course, I just couldn't see myself doing that.
Best of luck mate!


Same with programming. I was doing well but it's not for me. Too boring sitting in front of the computer only for it to not do what you want it do.

Programming is so boring. Same with scripting. It was mind numbing for me, at least the amount I was doing in my program before.
I'm getting myself prepared to return to school for a Paramedic program. Had a real change of heart.
