Today May 8th. I decide to start working towards an IT cert. When will I be making money, if i do nothing but study and prepare myself for the test.

From asking around it takes about 6 months to a year.

Also...from what I heard you want to get your foot in the door with a tech company with it certs when you get them...but it might be easier to freelance before anything.

The preparation for getting certified is everything though...you have to get the basic a networking certifications first and foremost.

What cert and once u get the cert u Cana start working.

Keep in mind that you are black so it's best to actually know what you're doing and go for the highest certs possible so you can be a 6 figgie niggie like uncle mowgli

The Truth
Depends on the cert breh

Start working at least in the field while youre studying though.. it'll help. Even if you got to do some low level bullshyt


Or just get a hard cert. I'm studying for my CCNA now... once I get that :wow:

Somewhere in Chicago
I was thinking IT for certification also, but a lot of my people's been pushing me towards becoming a teacher/guidance counselor.

:yeshrug: Not sure where I should invest my time in.

Well if you want to work for another man....repairing pcs is for broke nikkas but it's a good gig to teach you how to repair pcs as a side hustle for yourself.

After that here is network or database administration. Network administration when mastered guarantees you a solid 50 grand and up salary in most western nations. Database administration is kind of an additional skill that a network admin would have

After this you're getting into speciality careers like security, databases, etc. It's good to have the skills.above as a base though because it makes troubleshooting higher level issues easier. Before u turn 30 you should be ready to step to the next level if theé IT field.

There is money here with no degree if you are willing to study.

Maybe you have adhd.
