Hi MidnightShadow, I'm still a N00b on this forum, but as far as I understand the rules, posting link to my own YouTube channel I don't think is allowed. This does make sense to me, because if just anyone were allowed to post links to their own products, the forum could soon be over run...

I have observed that many students starting out in Community College have a great deal of difficulty because they lack good study skills. Since you mention you have not been that good at school, it could be that your study skills need a little brushing up. Of course I don't know you, so your...

This hat is destined to become the next fashion trend in the geek community :-)

I think your biggest problem here is that don't have a suitable computer to get hands on experience. You should be able to learn all you need with any decent A+ Cert book. Book should have many "hands on exercises" (Labs). It is by doing these Labs on an actual PC that you are going to learn...

If you look at the big picture, that is your IT career as a whole, you either continuously learn, or you fall behind. This is essentially the nature of IT. So the most important aspect of any IT job should be to provide you with the opportunity to keep learning. If you choose to stay in a job...

At the point you are at in your career, first thing you need to do it educate yourself about the specific job categories in IT, like like Network Engineer, Security Analyst, Programmer, Windows Admin, Linux Admin, Database, Web Master, etc. Then choose one or two job categories & try to learn...

Actually BA in Psych is not too bad a start for an IT Career. I myself have similar degree & have had successful IT career. And I have worked with many others with similar degrees that have had successful IT careers. Of course if you had it to do all over again, BS in computer science would...

I am IT "Old Timer", having earned a good living in IT for 25 years. Some stuff I've done, in no particular order: Technical Support in call center Helpdesk Manager Technical Trainer Network Engineer Network Engineering Manager Network Security Analyst Technical Content Creator - for example...
