Ok brehs, im thinking bout changing my career path up. Im pretty good with technology/smart etc.
Read about the first 15 pages and need some fresh thoughts.

Where do I need to start to get into it. The first couple pages mentioned java & web design. Is that still on point. I would prefer something without being a math wiz.

Cert vs Degree. Mainly looking for online courses. Alot of recent set backs keeping me from #blackexcellence

Would prob say programming is what im interested in.

I just wanted to thank you guys. This thread made me commit to going in on IT. I got my A+ cert a couple weeks ago because of the #certgang.

Now, I'm not sure what to put in my cover letter when I've got no IT experience. I do have a BS though.

If you like Java and web design, then I'd say learn the Spring Framework. Lots of jobs there.
