This is my dilemma:
I had the misfortune of having no clue what to do after high school. I just really wasn't that "in" to anything. More or less a slacker. I went to college for a year doing some general studies type coursework, and then my mom talked me in to doing nursing school. I ended up dropping it about half way through because it was NOT what I wanted to do with my life. Since then, I've gotten certified as a personal trainer and that's getting me by for now, but nothing I can see myself making a career of. Now, I'd like to get a job in the hardware end of the computer industry. I need a job that's more steady because I'll be moving to Atlanta and supporting myself completely in less than a year. I know the A+ certification is a good place to start. Are there any reputable online courses that I can get this from? I think that I can get it through my local community college, but I don't have the time to finish it before I'd have to move. I need to learn the information as quickly as possible and get certified. Should a technician with just an A+ cert. be able to support himself decently? Also, what other certifications could I get that would compliment the A+ and possibly make me more marketable and warrant a higher pay? Thanks a million for any help.
