I am 28 and need to get a better job since Im only making minimum wage at a grocery store. Would it be a better idea to get a Network + and Security + or just jump straight to the CCENT/CCNA for a entry level IT job?

How does one become 28 and work at a grocery store? Did you just dick around for 10 years after high school?

I really have no idea. Maybe porn addiction or something . Also I cant go to community college now because I owe money and in turn cannot get financial aid

Get A+

I already know how to build computers and format them, it seems kind of silly to get a cert like that to me

You know you can. They do not know you can. You have no proof that you can. You are 28 years old and your only work experience is working a grocery store. That is all they know. If you think you can do Network+, then do that. But even with certs you will have trouble finding a job because you have no experience.

ccna will pretty much net you an entry tech support job that pays slightly more than minimum wage, you'll then need to work there for 2 years and get a lucky break to get a raise and/or better job.

This is all assuming your not a retard, which given your and and current circumstances is questionable. Also, we're all neet or unstable enough to larp as neet here so not the best place to ask for career advice

age and current*

>28
>minimum wage at grocery store

How are you making less than minimum wage?

>im 42 years old and im a chef at wendy's making less money than you
christ that's depressing

Cisco Certs are in my opinion better to find a job to further develop networking skills. Ended up working at Cisco TAC 1 year after doing my CCNA, currenty studying for the CCIE. I would only suggest engaging into networking if you are truly interested on it, otherwise its a pain.

im making $7.25 per hour, which is (probably?) the same amount you're getting paid? (varies from states). idk why i assumed that but most anons i talked to say they're getting paid near $10/hr minimum wage

jesus man

go to a koding bootkamp

>he didn't get the Wendy's head chef, 300k starting position

Can I get the quick rundown on how a 42 year old ends up in that situation?

oh god dude, your picture looks like a wendy's hamburger. Reminds me of plastic.

How they heck are you supposed to eat high quality food on 7.25 per hour? I spend $200 a month at the natural grocery store.

Somewhat related question. I want to change fields and branch out to IT security (aerospace msc, already working but while the field is wast I want to try something else).
What would be the way to go with IT security, from beginner to expert? TIA

its also possible to get nice it job without certs
i was in similar situation like you (29, had few retail jobs, neet for few years) and i landed a nice sysadmin job few months ago

>I'm now reminded that people actually accept minimum wage for fast food jobs
Lol I was making $8.25/hr back when the state minimum was $6.85 at my very first restaurant job, and trust me it was a lot less difficult and demanding than any usual fast food job.

(he's probably lying)
but it raises some good points

There's a lot more to the CompTIA A+ than that. There is plenty of pointless trivia about how many pins different types of processors have, like 30 different types of RAM, and so on. I sincerely doubt that you know all that. If you're willing to learn it, that proves that you have the autism to work in a job that requires autism. Right now, you are illegal immigrant-tier. That's where I was when I was 27/28, and I got the CompTIA A+. It got me a job where they wanted me to get the MCSE, then I lost that job and got a new job where they said I would never need the MCSE and should get a CCNA instead. Until you know what your job is going to require, any further certifications are pointless.

I'd recommend doing a few things. Look for a job in a call center - any type of call center. While you do that, go for A+, Net+ and Sec+. Call center with some IT knowledge, like A+ & Net+ could certainly help you get an entry level help desk position somewhere. At least at that point you'll start working in IT and will have relatable IT work experience.
