First of all, I'm new to this forum and want to say Hi to everyone.... After much research on Computer & IT careers I get conflicting answers on many different sites so I figured why not try a forum with people who are actually doing it and not trying to sell their product which is probably not worth the money or effort for someone in my situation. Aside from surfing the net and doing microtasks for pennies to add to my typing speed and educate me on small added details that I didn't know. I really couldn't tell you what connects to what to give you something.....LOL!!! If you guys can understand my lack of beginners understanding. That being said. Is there any advice as to what free and not free online computer education that someone in my position of knowledge could start off with to get me to a point where I could then figure out what direction in IT interests me more? I know there are branches you could begin your path. Like Networking, Security, Programming and so forth. But in order to figure out the path you need to know what everything does and why. I guess building a foundation of the basics first. Like what the certifications are called and what tech company supplies the info. that I would need to build that foundation. Ex. Cisco, Microsoft or maybe something I've never heard of. Any info is much appreciated. Just thinking about all the info that I have looked through in the past 2-3 years is coming back to me. And to tell you the truth my head is spinning.....LOL! Thanks again!!
