Complete Beginner in CCNA/Networking - Just recently bought Neil Anderson's in Udemy, is it good for a complete beginner like me? Would I not regret it? What are it's pros that other course don't have?

So basically I'm an IT Graduate with a Major in Database Programming but for some reasons life is just twisted that halfway in college I'm a working student as a graphics editor and then became a Graphics/Multimedia Editor and part time Frontend Dev after graduating ironically lmao

Since the AI is just thinning the market for Graphics/Multimedia and Frontend devs, I thought i might get into Networking if I don't want to have any employment problems as I'm going in my 30s. I still know some basic troubleshooting during my college years.

So I browsed onto Udemy and grabbed the highest ranked CISCO CCNA Course for a beginner which is Neil Anderson's 201-300 v1.1 and how shiny it was with the -30% discount.

Then I went here on Reddit to see some guides on learning and what I've seen are just Jeremy's has more depth and better labs (if you're comparing both just in Udemy not in their specific own sites). It was like a .45cal vs 9mm Reddit war post after post.

And also I've learned of Neil's Flaxbox CCNA which is a bit more expensive but a broader version compared to the Udemy one.

Now this got me worried. And I got way in too deep for a refund since I was determined to really learn. Since I can't refund, I don't want to drown myself in misery. Would pairing it with Jeremy's free YT CCNA playlist cover enough what I need to learn? I'm not necessarily looking to pass the exams, I'm more concerned about landing a job in the Network Field.

I could just ask the AI but still, human answers gives me more of a sounding thought.

Gibo Teodoro - How can he overcome his popularity weakness? Is he still a solid candidate for President, VP or Senator come 2028? Can he still establish a strong brand or is it too late for one of the brightest minds in PH Politics today?

For me, Gibo is still the best Presidentiable we have. He builds on solid grounded plans, not just haka-haka that we can, but from a realistic standpoint and how we can achieve success from what we currently have and what we can do with it and he'll do it with a very precise and articulate explanation which is why we badly need a technocrat to lead us.

Check his new YouTube Channel for more updates on his statements including his views on Flood Control, etc. https://youtube.com/@giboteodoroph?si=otQZXrOykjN28t5T

But what I think he lacks are the strong punches in speaking or making a strong message to the public that would capture their hearts and minds like Magsaysay Sr. and Ninoy has.

Someone who has great critical thinking and situational assessments, Hindi Yung puro pabango, pasikat sa mga tao. From what I'm seeing, it seems that he plans to build our economy by establishing security first as well as backup plans and disaster response in the worst cases.

When it comes to economy, well I don't think he'll be bad since he also had a year or two as a BS in Economics although he graduated as a lawyer and have a masters degree at Harvard. And also, he's an excellent statesman. Yes he has issues with China, and to some mukhang tuta ng US. Pero he was able to have good communications with other countries that we're also able to have join military exercises with Australia, New Zealand, Japan, other ASEAN countries and now Canada (also with some impact from PBBM). And I hope these will be beneficial in the long run.

I think the WPS isn't even an issue for the low to mid-low classes especially Yung mga DDS. They don't even care about the country anymore, they just care about their DDS leaders and politicians.

Which is why no matter how strong Gibo stands for WPS and our military modernization, Gibo still gets the hard stick from the masses. They don't appreciate him, and even yung mga improvements and plans for AFP (both his 1st and 2nd term as SND) through him like during his 1st term under FPGMA as SND, is yung start ng external defense preparation, integration ng AFP sa disaster response and also more integrated ang international human rights, gender violence and civilian rights which is why it is evident na much better ang work environment ng AFP compared dati.

2nd Term is Re-Horizon 3 which is aimed at accumulating more external defense and cooperative defense with like minded countries with more modern armaments like stronger cybersecurity, missile system, naval fleets/warships, jet fighters etc., this term makes his office makes their ambitions much higher and is still not in completion. Pax Silica hub is still in works because I think that even if they have agreed, they are still working on other alterations on its implementations since Hindi pabor Yung ibang factors Ng gusto ng US (tulad Ng immunity within the HUB for US), and also a safer approach to our environment and locals sa magiging site and hopefully maging joint law enforcement para di Tayo lugi.
