I'm looking for advice on building a 6 month plan to shift focus on my career path. A little background I've recently became unemployed a few weeks ago, I use to work in the manufacturing industry making decent money about 55k (got no real debt outside of a car note). I graduated in 2016 with a AAS in Network Administration, tried to get a job in the industry but it was difficult to find a job that wanted to higher someone with no work exp, or they wanted to pay you pennies. So I went back into the manufacturing industry since that is where my work experience was. Now that I don't have a focus of a full time job, I wanted to build a smart sound path to get into the IT industry in 6 months. My general area of interest is cloud, security, and networking generally which I want to eventually work my way up to either a administrator or engineering role in those fields.
I'm not really interested in anything that requires predominate coding for the majority of your work day or is heavily inundated with "busy work". What I would like to shoot for at the end of the 6 months, is lining myself up for a 60-70k gig if possible. I've read through some of the thread (starting from Feb 2020) and go bookmarked some of the site resources people mentioned, but I see a few mentioned that MS is doing away with their certs basically, so what would be the pathway and course of action to take with that in mind? That way I can take the advice and map out a chart and vision board with a way to tackle studying and cert taking from easiest to hardest, hopefully with some overlapping courses/material to knock certain certs with one stone. Thanks in advance.
