Wew. Literally connect things that fit together. A+ certification is useless and it will not get you a job.

>>59926195

A+ certification by its self is worthless.

It is a primer on other comptia certifications though so you should take it to get certified. And see if you want to take at minimum 4 other comptia certifications.

basically as fast as you can read a book, you already have 99% of the knowledge
>will it get me a job
A+ can get you a minimum wage helpdesk position job
but it probably won't

I'd rather be truthful and get real advice.

What's the track that's most likely to get me employed at a livable wage?

It got the job done.

Anything else, guys? I could waste my time googling, get the same piss-poor advice that everyone else does, but I figure a lot of you guys work in IT and would be able to be more helpful. I'm not super-desperate but I'd really appreciate it.

Maybe a shitty job working at Fry's

Just learn to code.

This is definitely an observation that we all needed brought to our attention. Reading it was definitely not a waste of my time.

A+ is useless, when I was in uni I worked as a supervisor at geek squad and didn't give a shit if people had it when I was hiring.

Get a real cert like CCNA if you want to do IT in a company, or get a bachelor's in comp science if you can afford real university.

>>59926195
unless you are clueless and don't have a computer readily available, PASS ON A+. It's fucking dense with shit you already know, and i mean dense. If you have common sense and some experience just apply for a helpdesk job and get that under your belt or move onto better certificates.

Also, A+ is like two parts and fucking expensive.
