Oh I took career class and did successful resumes. First you want to get " experience " by volunteering in tech offices, oh and on your resume give a really shitty sad story or a good story about how badly you wanted that position that will get you there. And hope you don't get matched against someone with a college diploma.

Sob story and pray to cthulhu I don't get in competition with a grad. Got it, thanks Anon.

Learn a programming language (I suggest javascript). Practice it over the course of a year or two. Start working on projects, building out a portfolio, and maybe poke around with some other languages. Contribute to a popular open source project. Make friends with programmers and they can get your foot in the door. Go to job fairs and show consulting firms some examples of your work. Learn how to interview well and pretend like you know what you're talking about. And it couldn't hurt to study algorithms and data structures as well.

>>57776875
Whoops didn't read the part where you know how to program. But the rest still applies. Please don't keep using php!

>>57776916

Why would you not want to be knowledgable in one of the most popular languages out there because you believe in a meme?

Thanks anon

I feel like a degree would be useful, and I can get an Associate's with a specialization in CS completely online from a local community college, so that would be a starting point, but I'd be fucking myself into debt transferring to a private college after.

How much is a degree in CS worth for sysadmin work? How much is it worth for entry level IT gigs?

Will an Associates with a CS specialization help me at all?

>>57776975

Don't bother with the degree at the moment.

Approach local IT businesses and ask for unpaid internships or similar. Approach local charities, schools and churches and ask if they need IT help.

Degrees don't mean shit compared to showing initiative.

>>57776975
For programming positions they probably won't care about an associates. I'd say go for bachelor or go full self taught. Maybe a couple classes to help yourself learn more.

Not really sure about sysadmin or help desk. It would probably help you a little bit there but I don't really know. I'd say study a less programming heavy subject such as information technology if this is your goal.

Dank, dank Anon. That's what I was thinking, just approaching places to do unpaid work to try and fill my resume.

Do you have any knowledge of certs? I think the A+ is necessary, and if I'm doing tech support or help desk work, I'll be dealing with Windows out the ass, so I think a Microsoft cert would look great

>>57777022

I don't want to go into a programming position full-time. I would prefer to keep programming a hobby, although scripting and automating tasks in a sysadmin-y fashion though.

By doing, I guess. Years ago, I decided I wanted to turn an old PC into a CentOS home server. I was maybe 13 at the time. Since then, I've just learned by doing. I want a website? I'm gonna set up a home server and put that shit up. Same for OwnCloud, IRC bouncers, anything I could, really.

I started using AWS a lot when they introduced the free for 12 months plan, which is crazy great.

For programming, it was a mix of self-taught and CS classes in school.

When we interview entry-level people, we chit-chat a bit first to see if they can interact on a human level. If they can, we then fire off a barrage of questions.
What port does telnet run on? SSH? FTP? Which is control and which is data? HTTP? HTTPS? RDP?
Walk through the OSI model for me. What are the layers, and what would be a representative device for each layer, if any?
How can you quickly verify if a host is up?
How can you quickly find which group policies are being applied to a client (Windows).
How do you find an ip address on a host?
If someone navigates to a web page and receives a 404 error, what does that tell you?
Hands them a hub and a switch Can you explain the difference between these two devices?
Then we'll ask some scenario style questions. You get 3 sev-0 issues at once, how do you determine which to handle first? Correct answer is, you have a team, use it.
I'll ask scenario questions from issues I faced in the past, and see what their troubleshooting looks like. I don't expect a correct answer during an interview, but as long as they seem to start breaking the problem up logically I'm satisfied.
I'll ask BS questions like "What runs on port 24?" I want to see if they will say they don't know, or make something up.
After all that, we'll chat some more and see if it's a culture fit. If so, great, you'll get a second interview with the VP that day or another day.

In the midwest working for a small msp making around 36k/yr (first IT job and still in school so experience is great). Id look for small and medium sized businesses that will be easier to get your foot in the door.

I have no certs, have some general IT experience beforehand and a couple of IT internships under my belt. In a couple years I will have my undergrad degree in IT + business minor so I intend to stay on board for eventual management or consultant type position with more pay.

Id say your best bet is go to your local cc, get an AA in IT or networking etc (which often gets you a couple certs on the way) and start applying for all junior positions. In the meantime you should be looking for an internship since you just graduated high school.

Gl and dont underestimate the equal importance of your soft skills. Be clean, concise and polite. Listen to your co workers fully before responding e.g dont interrupt. I know this seems silly but seeing potential candidates in our business, they are often looked over for these reasons, regardless of the skillset (again we are an msp and very client facing so cust service skills in general are a must). I imagine there are work enviornments better suited for spergs etc. Just keep that bit in mind too.

A+ seems to outweigh school
Both cant hurt.
Especially if you can find a good community college. They're cheap and can be fun and you get good hands on experience.
You're on the right track OP, if not already past an entry level position.

not sure about Houston, but on Eastcoast and the places I looked at didnt give a fuck about degrees, it was all about that A+.

Basically, prove you know your general pc knowledge, and maybe some specifics about the company.. dont act like a complete spaz and look professional somewhat.. and you're golden.

Try to bolster your resume with small jobs and volunteer work.
If you're looking at someone in particular, find out what they do and work with..try to pick up on it and put it down on your resume. If you work for a company that uses Office or photoshop, put down precisely what versions you know, etc. Same for anything such as OSes / programs, whatever.

putting that you know Audio visual has helped me. I guess some people still think it takes a genius to hook up a TV and some speakers.

The language bit cant hurt either. I speak fluent Russian Japanese..it's only ever been brought up once in a job interview. It wasn't useful to them in particular, but i was told it makes you look cultured at least.

Again, not sure about your area, I was able to get any of the few PC tech jobs in my area, I have no A+.. only 9-10 years experience and a offbrand network+ and security+ certs. (school offered a different certification test from comptia.. most good employers seem to look at it funny) I turned down the jobs since they only offered $9/hour..but i cant believe they turned down most people for those types of jobs.

See if you can put some of that code experience to use. I eventually found a job where they need a tech that can do light coding for support on projects. (mostly robotics, automation and database applications) You tend to make way more money, and the work is pretty interesting compared to general techie work.

first of all:
-stop dreaming about about yearly wages. It's a dumb thing all of you americans have to stop. Especially if you are looking for your first job where you might get fired or leave the company yourself.
-what you're referring to as LAMP is really GLAMP
-apache-mysql-php while being used everywhere are not the current hottest meme. Learn working with ngnix, postres and other languages like perl, ruby etc.
-nobody cares about how you run a special snowflake distro. Get handy with distros really used by companies: debian, ubuntu, centos, redhat
-german knowledge is good if the company does business with merkelistan. If it does business mainly in the Americas, better learn Spanish or Portuguese

Entry-level IT? You sound like you have what it takes. Apply for jobs, even if they seem like you would be a bit underqualified for them. I applied for a job to get experience and see where I could improve, but I ended up getting it. I am paid $12/hour in high-performance computing directly out of high school.

This. Nobody uses anything else. Big business likes RHEL. Startups like debian and ubuntu. Nobody offering you a job gives a shit about arch, gentoo, or any other hobbyist distro.

Also daily roll.

roll because this board is depreciated now

A basic help desk job is a good place to start, or maybe try getting an internship. Hit up a career day at a local college and talk to people.

Most employers will value certs on some level, the Cisco ones like the CCNA and the CompTIA ones seem to be pretty popular.

Also bamp, I want all of the galkos
