I'm trying to decide whether it would be worth spending an additional 2 years upgrading my associates to a bachelor's in CS or not.

I don't see much of a demand for the RHCSA in my area (Toronto, Canada) but I see that basically every job posting has a degree requirement.

I'd be 25 by the time I finish school with the degree but I honestly just want to start applying for jobs I don't want to waste time.

I have the A+, CCNA and LFCS. I get my associates next week.

I'm aware that I'll probably get a bunch of responses of people saying "I don't have a degree or certifications!" but I'm genuinely confused as to how you're in IT without either of those things unless you knew someone or got in very early so some elaboration would be nice.

I'd like to be a network administrator but I'm sort of at a loss as to how I can actually show proof of the projects I've worked on.

I have my CCST and CompTIA A+ but I don't believe that these two certifications and some college are enough to land an internship.

I also have a self hosted website that chronicles each of my projects in greater detail. Visitors can click on subheadings and see the scripts I've created (netmiko automation, bash cron jobs) as well as my explanation of common routing protocols implemented with GNS3.

I'm not interested in programming. Are network engineers posting their projects on github? I'm not even sure if I would be asking this question a decade ago but with everyone entering Computer Science it seems to me that I should have a github link on my resume. Maybe I should sit down and learn network programming with C/Python etc but I wouldn't be working extensively with code as a network administrator anyways so I'm a little confused.

Title. I have my CCST (yes, I should've gotten the CCNA, working on it. My school paid for the voucher) and CompTIA A+.

I'm trying to make a presentable resume for networking internships but I'm hearing conflicting advice about whether I should have a github portfolio or not.

I host a web server that links to a blog. Some things on that blog include GNS3 labs, packet tracer activities I've created, Bash scripts for simple Linux admin tasks etc. I just have a link to this static website. Why would recruiters open up my github and care about my packet tracer files or daily cron job script for RAID backups?

I'm not interested in programming outside of network automation. I've used netmiko before with GNS3 and it's incredible, but I don't see why (or how) I would put those netmiko scripts on github.

I know I need to get hangers... maybe? I've gotten rid of most of my things (misc computer components, clothes that no longer fit) but I'm 20 years old with the mental age of a 9 yr old. I had to borrow the broom from a roommate. I don't feel like an adult.
