experience is experience. Dont matter where you get it or what the position is called. Take what you can get, get more certs, find a job where you can learn new skills, rinse repeat until you cake up.
Just not trying to set myself up. I know how bad I did in certain subjects (mainly math) back when I was in High School.
If I get to Community, I know I'll prolly have a harder time.
I'm unsure of where I should head to get IT Certs but I see a few courses at ITT Tech where I can avoid math.
I dunno.
Anyone know anything about outsourcing to Indian programmers to develop apps for you? Like you write up the functional docs of what you need and they do the programming.

You are already setting yourself up for failure by trying to put in the minimum effort required. Regardless of the route you go, if you want to be successful you are going to have to put in the work. If you go to ITT, that alone isnt going to make you six figures if your not willing to put in the work. I dont think there is anything wrong with ITT though. at least its a start.My uncles wife went years ago and she makes 6 figs now

Pretty much.
My first job was a part-time tech support rep for an ISP where most of the calls were just password resets and telling people to reboot their modems. I was still in college at the time and I think I first landed that job when I was 20 or 21. Wasn't balling by any means (I think it started at $10/hr) but it was ok for a college kid and without having some sort of experience on my resume it would've been mad hard to get a job after I graduated (especially since it was during the recession).
Unless you happen to know a CIO willing to give you a hookup or something, you pretty much HAVE to start out doing tech support/helpdesk/pc tech stuff. No company is gonna let somebody with no experience run their network.
So slap together a little computer and put Windows Server 2012 on it as the OS?For those of yall that dont have a ton of experience, yall need to be building a home lab. You can build a cheap home server to host VMware ESXi(its free) which you can then use to setup an entire domain/network to play with. Even if you dont have the on the job experience, for you to be able to say yes i can and have setup/managed a domain is nice to be able to say.
You can get a dreamspark subscription https://www.dreamspark.com/Student/Software-Catalog.aspx
which will give you all the different Microsoft server products and OS for free too.
so for ~500 you can get experience building a server(will help with your A+) and also get experience with VMware, Microsoft and Networking experience on your own. Plus you will have a server to store all your movies and shyt on.
