I have realized that IT isn't a physical job, but it still interest me. I have no desire to be a manger of any sort.
So, I have an AA already. What type of jobs can an AA and a few certs get me? I bought the TestOut Pcpro software for the A+

What kind of experience do you have? If none you're looking at help desk or other entry level type jobs.An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made. -

I have no experience. I am saying in the longrun. Could I become a network tech? I expect to start at entry level jobs. Is 29 years old too old to try and enter?
What are some other entry level jobs besides help desk. -

Long term you can do pretty much anything. This industry once you get in and get some experience a lot of doors open. Network tech should be more of a short term goal. Take any kind of job you can find to start building the resume and grab a CCNA and you could find those kind of roles within a few months in the right area.An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made.

Ya with zero experience you are looking at help desk, desktop support or NOC / phone support. Once you get experience and apply yourself the sky is the limit.
Be warned though, some larger corporations will require a bachelors - it's just the rub. Most small and mid sized companies it won't matter but some companies won't even interview you unless you have a bachelors unless you have an inside track through a recruiter or someone that works internally.
29 isnt too old IMO - i started when I was 27. -
