going to school is a waste of time and money.

Try going for a data center job, and learn about the different types.

Desktop support gets annoying as you're usually dealing with people who don't understand how to update a web browser, but it's somewhere to start..

for the love of god, don't do remote support ( over the phone or remote desktop )

Learn every little thing you can about networking.

and yes, school is incredibly over priced for what they teach you. Schools are just in the business of making money

Ive been a computer junkie all my life. A year before i got married i decided i would go to some trade school for tech (Specifically Kaplan), it was a huge waste of time and money. Right after i finished i got a job at a law office so the whole thing was a wash. Now im gonna be paying off student loans for pretty much nothing. I could have past the certification tests without the stupid school. Networking is a good field. If you already have knowledge on it, then i would suggest just getting the test prep book for whatever test you want to pass and study that. save you a shit load of time and money.
