The A+ is a very common cert. It doesn't make you competitive as everyone has it. Get your network + and maybe your MCTS and look for Help Desk Tier 1 jobs. Also, don't tell anyone your age they aren't allowed to ask you, and they would discriminate against an 18 year old.
Have you considered college? The IT field is swimming with CS and MIS degrees, so you really aren't competitive without a degree unless you are a young Bill Gates or something.

I appreciate the advice, I personally enjoyed networking while I was at my apprenticeship but college isn't something I can do right now as I don't have the funds to pay for the terms there, also I think that I would need to be looking at paying for an exam myself and studying for it. Not really sure it's been awhile since I've been near the IT environment kinda makes me feel like I wouldn't be competent enough it's been that long.
I don't tell them my age nor does my CV contain that but soon as it gets to the interview stage that's always where it goes boom haha..
edit: guess if I was good at the talking game then that would be no problem but i'm not one of those few who walk interviews like they are nothing!
