Hello,
I'm a twenty three year old male with no credentials. I wasted my money going to an art school that I dropped out of because it was a money suck. (curse you new england institute of art, glad you got sued). This is after I failed at my local community college with a computer science focus (I was 18 and impulsively moved out with no money and going to classes, and working, overwhelmed). Now I'm living at my mothers and you know...hating life.
I would love some advice or suggestions. I've been looking at certificates in the field of IT. Terms like A+, N+, Network +, ccna, ccda, etc. They're so many it's overwhelming. I basically don't care about any sort of management type things, I want to be hands on and be able to fix network problems among other things that pay. I've built my own computer, but honestly I was just following a guide. I know vague definitions and what each piece does. But honestly I'll absorb any information anyone can give me.
I know some people will say that employers will look over certifications if another applicant has a degree. I've heard people defend both sides so I'm not really too sure on a definite answer. I'm sure someone who works there ass off with multiple certifications under their belt can still make a living.
I'm sorry if this has been asked, if so link a guy up please.
