Hi, im reasonably new to the forums here but did use them alot when building my own pc. I am from Australia if that makes any difference to your suggestions. Im 25 and goin to uni would be a challenge financially as i live with my partner and we rent.
Basically i want to work in the IT field, and my aim is to run my own business. What i want to do is make pc's for people, repair/upgrade pc's, fix virus's for people, setup internet/home networks, and generally help people with computer problems. I believe this could be called a "systems engineer" ???
Okay so my experience is as follows:
- Completed IT systems in High school (8 years ago)
- Built my own pc from scratch with help from the net of course
- Setup my own home wireless network router
- Upgraded mine and friends pc parts from time to time
- Have fixed/removed viruses on my computer
- Basically run the IT maintenance at current job
Now i know this is only scratching the surface of what IT guys can do but i would just like some input as to what study or qualifications (if any) would i need to run my own business as mentioned up top. An IT guy here told me university degrees are very broad, jack of all trades kind of thing. He recommended looking at microsoft certificates, but which one would be best for me?
Any replies welcome, thanks
