Hi,
I'am currently facing a dilemma with two job offers i currently have, i know i def want to get into the IT field. One of the two jobs pay 30% more than the other, has nothing to do with IT but would give me more cushioning in the pocket to pay for courses and cert test
the second job offer pays less and traveling will take even more out of my pocket but offers hands on IT training.
any suggestions on which i should take?

It would cause a bit of strain would have to get up pretty early to beat the early morning rush. -
