I would build a home lab and just take a bunch of certifications. It's cheaper than going to a tech school and you can study at your own pace.
But what about finding an entry level gig?
You can try temp agencies or networking with other IT professionals in your area. When I started out 7 years ago I literally applied for hundreds of jobs. The more places you apply the better your chances of someone giving you a shot.
And if you shine at interviews you can easily beat out more experienced IT people. Especially since many IT people are socially awkward. I've seen nerdy white dudes crash and burn during interviews that knew their shyt but froze up when talking to a female interviewer. Just remember at the end of the day most companies will hire someone they like over someone with tons of qualifications.

I mean as far as gaining experience? Everyone wants it but i dont have any, so should i start with call centers, geek squad? What were yall's first gigs in IT?
internship for a utilities company...paid internship...earning over a G every 2 weeks with only like 2 bils to pay was
My philosophy on interviews is that "if I'm here, you believe I'm qualified, now I just have to prove you can live with me"
Even geek squad is hard to get in, they want A+
I need to learn about servers, anybody got any suggestions?
Im using that quote
no its not. quite easy actually.
IT brehs, I have a few pretty good ideas for phone apps.... I dont know much about programming or coding, is this something I can learn to do myself? Or should I go else where and have someone else do it? If so where do I go to get it done?
If I do it myself (which I prefer), are there any good books for beginners y'all can recommend?
Thanks, reps for brehs with suggestions

You got in without A+ ?
