Little Kat has been studying for his first certification. It is CompTIA IT Fundamentals (ITF+). I had got him some study materials. He went through all 11 modules. Then he hit the practice exams. I think you need a 75% to pass. He kept retaking the practice exams until he could get at least 90%.

This weekend Little Kat drove to a local testing center. He was not sure what percentage he got. They scored him out of a total 900 points. But he did pass. This is a relatively simple entry level certification. I have not really seen any jobs that require it.

Now Little Kat is starting his job at the school with Momoko. He is going to be a computer lab instructor. This is just something to make money and get a current job on his resume. It might take him a few months to get his feet.

Once Little Kat is set in his new job, he will start studying for the CompTIA A+ certification. This one has two exams. Little Kat thought it would take at least two months of studying for each of the exams. Once he passes both and gets certified, he will start looking for a tech job again.

I have seen a few jobs Little Kat applied to that want you to have a CompTIA A+. In the end, Little Kat wants to get some specialized forensics certification. That will cost a lot of money for training. It might be worth it.

High Prices at Checkers

Momoko went out for happy hour this afternoon. So at night she got hungry. She asked if I would drive her somewhere that had a drive through. I did not want the usual McDonald's fair. So I recommended we go to Checkers.

Momoko found wings on their menu. We had ordered funnel cake fries before. They were delicious. I used to order banana milk shakes there in the old days. This was a new Checkers that came to our town. It was the first time I went.

Momoko wanted wings with BBQ sauce on the side. I got hot wings. We both got large shakes and funnel cake fries. The total ended up being $44. To top it off, we got parked for over 10 minutes. The food was good. But no where near worth $44. Will not be returning unless we win the lottery.
