Unless you don't have bills to pay, I'd stay with the company until you find another job.
A year on helpdesk isn't bad really, I was on helpdesk for like 4 years before I got my break. My suggestion is to cert up and start looking for other jobs, but don't leave your current job until you have something else lined up. Maybe take some IT classes at your local community college, that's a good way to network.

It took me three fukking days to figure out the "No Drivers Are Found" issue in a Window 7 installation 
The last three days was fukking frustrating. I tried so many solution in Youtube to find the solution to fix the Window 7 "No Drivers Are Found" error.. I was going to quit and send the computer back to my customer. Thank God for Windows 7 USB/DVD Tool device

From what some IT professionals explained to me,
Experience is the most sought after skill
Certifications help bring validity to your Experience
Education help's unlock glass ceilings
So in short, not having certs or education may not be a negative. but at all costs, get your certifications my G.
You've been doing helpdesk for 1 year? you should be ready for your A+ certification or at a min. your 220-802 [software portion of the A+].
Still go after a degree, but get your cert in A+ atleast as soon as possible.
How difficult are the questions?help a brotha out dont ignore me
*Draw models of what you learned in a chapter.
*Rewrite your chapter notes in your own words.
*Write ideas on how you could implement previously learned information with new information.
*Read as much on the subject OUTSIDE of your course books as possible (e.g. SQL blogs, SQL chat rooms, etc.)
Pretty much have to submerse yourself in the subject matter.

Update on Net+ certification training...I was getting ready to buy a n10-005 and then wondered when the crap was expiring..found out through the comptia website that it was in 4 days lol. So I decided to wait and cop the new one in a couple days.
Net+ is releasing a new n10-006 on february 28th 2015. Same amount of questions and such with updated course materials however. Just letting the breh's know that.

@Pyrexcup if you want to leave, you should have already had something lined up. Otherwise you just hustling backwards and may find yourself in a situation worse than what you have now.

This. I was on the help desk for 5 yrs and while I hated it, it's better than being unemployed.

But seriously, treehouse was the best 30 bucks a month I've spent. Learned enough Python and Ruby to get by. At least now I can look at existing code and figure out what the hell is going on
