In short. I'm 23. I have been working warehousing and assembly for the last 5 years and gave myself carpal tunnel in the process which I will be having surgery on soon. I was told by my doctor that I should really consider a career. I have always had a love for computers and I'm not limited to one OS. I will and can figure it out as I have done with the Mac OS that my church insist on using. I'm the family tech guy anyone who has a problem comes to me for repair, troubleshooting Ect. I have avoided a Tech degree because once upon a time someone put a bug in my head that I may end up hating IT if it was a job. With the help of my wife I have come to the realization that it is my calling something I naturally excel at.
So now my question becomes with no relative customer service experience. Where do I start? What sort of jobs should I be looking into for entry level work? In the mean time should I get an A+, Microsoft and Cisco certification just to help move myself along since I don't have a college education atm? I would love to start school but due to location and life commitments taking traditional school seems like it is out but online schooling would be more workable for me. Does anyone recommend any online programs that would be credible and accepted by employers?
I would greatly appreciate the feedback. I just want to pursue something I love and be able to work towards it while still being able to pay my bills and support my family. Hope to hear from you all soon!
