A+ is a good certification because it teaches you the evolution of technology... But as far as the application of what you learn on the A+ (especially the 801) it is illogical! A floppy disk has 34 pins? Why do I know this? All the ram speeds and pins, I guess if you were in a cave and all the sticks were stripped of the usual information and you had no Google that's relevant....
Getting this down much easier than expected
Im honestly thinking of taking off the rest of the year just to learn coding and go for my CISSP

If you can afford to take a year off, definitely go for it. It's pretty much what I'm doing now. I'm about to start applying in a month or two for jobs.
Ehhhh i dont wanna take that much time off right now, feel like im right in the mist of a career breakthrough and i need to figure out where i want to move to. Always planned for Houston but Miami looks like heaven and there's a lot of opportunity there as well.

Bdizzle, or anyone familiar or from NYC, I need some tips on getting a job with just an A+ (I do live in NYC btw). I've been on sites like indeed and careerbuilder and monster, etc, but Everybody on that bytch is looking for someone with a IT bachelor's degree or equivalent. And even with just that you have to, in some job cases, also have an A+, check, CCNA, CCSIP, MCSE, MSP (WTF), PMP (WTF!!!??), etc, etc. And I'm currently just studying net+/CCNA guides FOR my CCNA. Even craigslist ads are asking for crazy mad stuff just for ENTRY level jobs, which I'm trying to get. And even the jobs that I may be suited for, help desk and such, they want YEARS (2+ generally) for $13/hr that will probably be part time even if listed as full time. I'm probably looking in the wrong places, but at this point, I'm not sure where to look for entry level jobs for the budding I.T. guy.
I have 6+, yrs in customer service, associates degree (in graphic design) and leadership experience from opening stores and being temporary group leads and such. Plus I've over a year in technical computer work including deployments and automation. Am I really not employable for an entry level technical position or am I missing something?

I might have to relocate cause my state barely has any entry level jobs. Especially for help desk.

I would suggest not paying too much attention to the job requirements and just apply for any job you think you can do...the worst they can do is not call you. A lot of job requirement listings are unrealistic and will be ignored if they find somebody they like.
Even if the posting says a degree is required, they'll sometimes waive that if you have experience or even if they just like you. If you have your A+ just start applying for helpdesk/desktop support jobs regardless of what the requirements say. Just make sure your resume is on point.
