Certifications certifications certifications. Get your A+ or net+, apply for shitty remote help desk jobs like support.com. They will suck and you'll get back to back calls, but keep your ears to the ground and a few months experience should be all you need to hop to something else. A lot of places are desperate for competent techs. Degrees don't prove anything, I'm fact it seems like kids are graduating with these technical degrees and zero actual practical knowledge.
Source: My decade long IT career off just an associates degree.
I can confirm this. I was able to get a decent job right out of highschool with my certs I got at a technical college. Really as long as you can prove that you're a fast learner, passionate about tech, and have the skillet to back it up it's not hard to find a job. In my experience at least, which to be fair is only 6 years
I bet find an IT job is a lot easier when you are called MasterNerd
Absolutely correct. Every single place outside of giants like Google take equivalent work experience instead of a degree. I dont even have an AA but I have 16 years experience and 11 certifications and make low 6 figures.
I vouch for that. That’s how it is done. Good job laying down the steps; want to add that job hopping is important too early on.
