looking for App Developer jobs. If you had to take an office job in IT what would it be 240?
study your ass off for 3 weeks and take and pass the A+.
Then you can get a job as a tech (fixing PCs around a company). You meet everyone in the company, learn the culture, learn the organization, and learn the firm's software inside and out.
Then you have 2 choices- SW development, or netadmin
If you wanna be in ap dev/db mgmt, chat it up with the MIS/programming guys- learn what language they code in, and get a book on it, and learn it at home. Get an entry level job there, and you'll have a leg up on everyone else. work hard, move up.
If you wanna be a netadmin, stay 2 years at a tech and really learn the system. But don't be a douche that does that til he's 40. get your Network+ in a month. Then take on the MCSE in the next year. All along, keep the CCNA book in the bathroom and read it everytime you're in there- cisco R&S takes longer to absorb. By the time your two years is up, you'll know everyone in the company (from fixing their PCs), you'll know everything the lower netadmins do, you'll have as many certs as the upper netadmins, and you'll cost a hell of a lot less for the company 9salary-wise). So when someone has to go, it won't be you. move, up, get money, yada yada. And once youre the top netadmin, read a business book now and then so you don't get passed over when the CIO/CTo retires.
