Hi everyone,
I'm middle-aged, hoping to start a "second career" in a Computer Technician field. I've read about 20 posts in this forum, and have a general idea about Technical Schools.
I am only looking for enough education to work as an end user/pc repair tech, or entry level Help Tech. I have some Veterans' benefits that will see me through one year of full time classes, so I'm limited in my education options.
All the computer tech terms are a bit confusing to me... A+, TIA, Net+, etc. I was hoping for a little guidance in what would be the best courses to take since I'm limited to one year of school.
I've read the post that highly recommends avoiding Online Schools. Is that still true if I'm only going for one year? My local (St. Louis, MO) Community College offers an IT/Help Desk/End User Support course, but they may cancel it if not enough people register.
Anyway folks, if you have any advice for me, I'd certainly appreciate it.
Thanks!
