Im 19 years old and i graduated high school in 2004. The whole time in HS i thought i would go to college for 4 years and that would be it. Well i gave college a try, just so happens i was emotionally drained from a bad breakup in high school and to make things worse my ex-gf went to the same college as me. Needless to say i had a pretty bad emotional breakdown that lead me into some hard drugs. I droped out not finishing my first semester and decided to take the self taught road.
Its hard to get an IT job with no certs, experience or degree...
I worked for free as a chevy dealerships go-to-guy. it was an ok time but more importantly i was getting better mentally thanks to prozac and therepy
now its May 2005 and I got my Network+ cert. im in a really crappy Telephone helpdesk job and wondering if dropping out of college was a wise idea.
Almost seems a Bachelors degree is the minimum requirement to land anything decent paying.
Im feeling alot better than i was in 2004 and feel foolish for the way i took things and am wondering if i should give college another shot, instead of just going for certifications.
