[QUOTE="L8APEX, post: 15946320, member: 51947"] Find something that you can have some passion in and study while building experience. Experiance has saved my ass, cannot say the same for my certs. Make contacts with the people who know people that can hire. While big companies put restrictions, like degree requirements on applicants, Medium, often family businesses are very good at picking those who can versus those that simply have a degree. If you can deal with family politics, and you are good at what you do you'll get taken care of. Getting that experience is what sucks. For me in I.T. it meant many contract jobs, travel on short notice and lots of long, physical and mental workdays. I did high profile contract work for companies like Boeing IDS, GE, Philip's, Seimens, and when the end of 08 hit (I was in Harfield Jackson watching the Dow was going Hara Kiri waiting for my flight home) those contract jobs dried up within the next 2 weeks. So I took a step back, started working for a local computer repair company until things got better (never see a job as below you) and I was introduced to the right people who gave me a chance to prove myself. Even though I've moved on, I still help them on the side to this day. A wise fellow once told me its who you know that gets you the job, but it's what you know that let's you keep it.
