Each day, I will give you a small task to read and do:
I will share tips and ideas so you can improve yourself. I will also talk about job markets and the housing in those markets with the industries that serves them. Since I tend to be IT based, that's what I will cover first.
Day 1:
I will start with Comptia A+
Price and type:
Jobs: Comptia A+ Entry Level Jobs, Employment | Indeed.com
Salary for entry level: $15-20 a hour depending on city.
Types of jobs available will be mainly help desk but that should just encourage you to get more experience and certs.
Qohelet take: I usually recommend this for brothas who tend to be a mix of blue collar w/ white collar chill. I.E. your typical coli poster. This doesn't have a lot of coding in it so you do not need a strong math background. You just need to determined and get some hands on experience.
The Career Path for this type of person who receives this certification is a System Administrator which means you need to get more certs. You do not need a degree. Most tend to go Hardware, Services and Infrastructure while others in this field tend to go Storage and Data where there is more money involved.

Resources:
Prof Messer is dope at this: Professor Messer’s CompTIA 220-901 and 220-902 A+ Training Course « Professor Messer IT Certification Training Courses
This is a good message board: A+
Here was a good opinion:
If you need a book, Mike Myers is the way to go: | Half.com
Also, if you live in a city that has programs for under-served people who need a job, most tend to have free programs for residents to get certificated. On top of that, they do hands on work which is something many of you might want to look into. In DC, we got Byte Back | Tech within Reach
Day 1 Homework:
Watch the course Introduction: Professor Messer’s CompTIA 220-901 and 220-902 A+ Course Overview « Professor Messer IT Certification Training Courses
Also watch:
1.1 – BIOS and UEFI
BIOS and UEFI (7:30) | BIOS Configurations (6:03)
BIOS Security (5:00) | Installing BIOS Upgrades (7:05)
This should put you in a good place.
Tomorrow will continue the on the A+ learning series and we will also touch on Communication and why is communication so vital for the Black man and woman in today's society and how can I improve my communication skills and what is it that employers, employees and potential customers want from you in terms of getting your message across.
