Are there any draw backs to this setup? Would it even be worth my time setting all of this up? I've noticed a lot of job posting asking for experience with certain OS/servers and I want to get practice in. Knowing that I'm most likely headed to the help desk, my idea was to try and build a small network inside of workstation pro, complete with AD, a few servers and workstations so I could practice the environment. My questions revolved around, would buying workstation pro 12.5 be a good investment for someone like me? I've gone through the trial and set up a few systems during one of my classes that seemed very beneficial to my learning. With all that being said I have a question about VMware workstation pro 12.5. My former life (minor league baseball) dosent exactly hold much weight in the IT field. I understand that even though I'll be graduating with my degree, I'm most likely headed to the help desk to start my career.

While my classes have been great, I'm looking for a bit more hands on before I enter the IT field. I'm currently about to graduate with my bachelor degree in computer networks and cyber security from UMUC this summer.
