Where to start/Continue

[Zrik3m]

Hello guys,

I am very interested in working in an IT related field,(while going to school) I am majoring in Business at the moment so getting a degree in IT is not possible. With all of that being said I still want to advance in IT not sure what specific field yet. From what I've been told is that I should get certifications, specifically MCITP: Enterprise Desktop Support Technician on Windows 7, Certification 7-680 and 70-685. Basically what I am asking is if anyone has any advice as far as where would be a good place to start (get my foot in the door). Thank you in advance!

A+ certification. Very easy to get and covers tons of the basics. It is super easy (it is offered at my high school). Definitely worth the time and cost (it is like $80.00 for the test).

 

Also it is honored by anyone in the IT field. Mention it to anyone in IT and they will know exactly what it is. 

 

"The CompTIA A+ certification is the starting point for a career in IT. The exam covers maintenance of PCs, mobile devices, laptops, operating systems and printers."
