    You can get a job without a degree.

    What type of job would like to do? There are a lot of people on this site that are good at helping someone figure out where they might want to go. Maybe you should try applying to computer repair positions or some help desk positions. Does your college/university have a work study program? Did you try to look for positions for computers/helpdesk there?

    I suggest that you upload your resume and ask someone to look at it. Just make sure that you block out the important contact information.
    Booya!!

    Certifications help a lot if you have no experience. It's a quick way for HR to check if you at least have the minimum knowledge required for the job. A+ is probably the ultimate entry level cert. If you want to get into a networking position, then Network+ and/or CCNA are great certs to have.

    look for any IT job you can find really. Look at the job boards, see what they require in your area if get those skills. A+ and Net+ will likely be a good start though and you can bang those out pretty quickly.

    You should start with applying for Technical Support/ Desktop Support/technician. Honestly, just apply for anybody that with your knowledge. It does not hurt if they reject your application. Worst case scenario, they just don't response to your application.
