Yep. It's all shit. Real IT is mostly grunt work

Unless of course you land a managerial position which is fucking rare and requires a sick resume + Bachelors degree

Would you say I look somewhere else with my edu/creds(which ain't much)? I am good at this but I am starting to wonder- they literally are hiring any one for my job- should I look else where or is there good specification?

I never finished college- I finished all of my prereq but never really decided on a major.
I guess i could go back but dont know what I want to go into- which makes college look like a money pit,

>sounds like an author's memoir
I want something that interests me but I am known for be indecisive

I don't know you too well so I can't give you specific advice, but if I had the chance to go back I would definitely look into working in the Business Information systems fields, or Finance if your math skills and intuitive thinking skills are on point, that's where all the money is. Setting up access points and installing antennas in 100 degree weather is shot work but at this point it's all I can do for now.

If you have an option definitely get out.

BTW this is coming from someone who has been working in hardware and network support for half a decade now

I appreciate the feedback- but my math skills are lacking and isnt finance just eco w/ biz major?-it seems tech support is probably gonna be folded into basic svc if not fully automated. I am scared just dont really know what to do.

Honestly- I am afraid of going back to college- not for Rodney Dangerfield reasons- I am just afraid of blowing the little money I have- do you think I should still go? or look at certs?

Its mostly just me replying to myself anyways- I am just wondering if this is typical of work at home TS- or if there are any good stories/companies?

It really depends on whether or not you think going to college will improve your life, if there's nothing you are genuinely interested in pursuing then you probably shouldn't go, at that point it would indeed be a money pit. As far as certs go, they are really only useful if you don't have relevant work experience in the job you are applying for, they are basically padding for your resume. A lot of the times for entry level IT they will give you on the job training so long as you have something on your resume that shows you have a work ethic (college, internship, volunteer work, etc..)
