If you gentlemen don't mind me asking...what's your age range??? I been in the field about 20 years and I'm noticing that there aren't many new kids coming into the game. In my last few work environments damn near EVERYONE is over 30 at this point. The helpdesk folks are all damn near over 40
are you younger guys having tougher times breaking into the industry? I would think it would be the opposite because they could pay you all less. When I was a younger guy EVERYONE was pretty much in their 20's in the field.
I think every field of work is like that nowadays. Advertised "entry level" jobs require 3-5 years full-time experience and internships usually never count.
That being said, would it be a waste to go to a tech school to learn everything to get IT certs? Or is it a waste of money? Where I live in the DMV area, there are a lot of IT jobs. I know many folks in IT. I'm 31 and I'm thinking of going to Tesst college out here in MD in January. It's 9 months, 4 hours a day, five days a week intensive training to get A+, Network+, CompTIAA etc. But its a guaranteed 9K in debt. I don't have any serious debt at the moment and am not looking to incur any debt I can't pay off easily. Anybody know if Tesst college is reputable or a waste of time?
