My certs are A+ and Sec+. I have a Bachelors but it's a trash degree unrelated to IT.

I`m not to fond of University "Certs". I wouldn't mess with a university unless its for a 4yr degree or you are taking a Class where at the end you are getting an Industry recognized Cert and not the Universities proprietary cert.

how did you guys start off with NO EXPERIENCE in IT? Did you load up on certifications and skills and how did you list your job history? The resume formats I have is more for experienced workers and I need something more newbie friendly.

CISSP isn't a technical cert, I assume the scripting Comment is unrelated?
