What to do with myself

[volkmair]

As it dawns on me that I might have signed up for something I'm to be honest not sure is for me in the impulsive heat of the moment, I'm wondering what career I'm actually aiming for and I really have no idea. I've been going towards the IT thing but now I don't know if its something I would enjoy doing or if its something I feel is expected of me

Yep ss I understand it, 14 days on any financial agreement.

Havign actually looked at the CCNA material, and the course that I was planning on doing for it, 12 days , just for the CCNA is even a bit tight, to then add fully training you in the MCSE stuff and such, and it strieks me as they will just be trying to force through exams and teach you textbook answers without any understanding to back them up, which would pretty much leave you fucked as soon as you actually got into a job. Im not saying dont go for that path, but get experience and evaluate as you go. And look at the free background stuff you can get online, to get yourself up to speed and back into that way of thinking.

And of course Id write you a reference.

I don't know anything about IT certifications or anything, but employers want people who can do stuff and to get them to hire you you need to show them that you can do stuff.

What helped me a lot in getting interviews as a programmer dude was writing programs and putting them up on a webpage to show people that I can do stuff, and then got my job by convincing them that I do actually know what I'm doing.

So yeah. Don't know if that's any help or anything, but good luck anyways.
