I'll keep this question short and simple.
My career has been construction, but due to joint damage, I'm worried I may have to leave the field soon. IT is my next career field choice, as I am quite tech literate already.
However, since i already have a mortgage, family, etc, I simply cannot afford to make less than about $20 an hour starting out.
What certs can I study for myself, and obtain quickly with minimal expense, that will make me qualified enough to start out earning $20 an hour or more? And what type of position would I most likely be doing?
I'm thinking about getting the Comptia A+, and Net+ to start. A brief review of the material leads me to believe I could cram and obtain them quickly, however, I'm having trouble figuring out....
A) Realistically what positions will that qualify me for?
B) Realistically what wage would I be looking at?
C) Is that even the best plan for my situation, or are there different/better certs to consider.
