Going on 10 years in IT, this is roughly how my path has gone thus far: 1. Hardware/break-fix/bench tech (started at a MSP - super tough, but I'd recommend it as I learned like 5 years worth of stuff in about 2) 2. Windows and Helpdesk (got into the Software Industry - huge advantage to this! Work in an industry that _values_ IT!) 3. Networking and Windows SysAdmin (started taking CompSci classes here) 4. Linux & scripting (Bash, Python and PowerShell) 5. Cloud Ops (where I am now) IT is a wonderful field with TONS of opportunity! Do what you love and (most importantly) *never stop learning*!!

It's not particularly that they complain about it. It's more of a downer attitude towards getting into the field.

I haven't grown up building computers and programming all my life like a lot of my friends.

If I could do it all over again I'd go into something else. Even someone with an engineering degree in IT isn't respected. Everyone uses the same off the shelf products / API's / development tools.

It's good for the future to have a base knowledge on other OS', most companies have usually Macs as well as Windows PCs and sometimes you might find a Linux machine as well. You don't need to know how to code a complex piece of software in Linux or know everything about Apple but having a base knowledge helps. Other than that, just get to know what's in your potential workplace, like printers and possibly something like potential monitors or projectors and get to know them inside out/how to fix them!

If you can't take the time to learn to type properly you have no place in IT. (2) Search Engines: Become a search engine expert. Whether it be Google or Bing or Yahoo it doesn't matter. (3) Email: Be able to resolve common issues with email and be able to explain how it works to a 5 year old. (4) Skill Development: You must never become satisfied with what you know. Always learn and practice more. (5) Magazines: Have a subscription to a computer/information technology magazine such as PCMag, Pc world, Maximum PC, Linux World, Linux Format.

Certs are great to get your foot in the door, BUT in IT nothing beats *experience*. I've been working in IT professionally for about 5 years now and have those 3 certs you mentioned: CompTIA A+, Net+ and Sec+ (got them in that order). I work as a SysAdmin and make about $55k/yr on salary in the US. Honestly, you will not be a Systems Engineer with those certs alone, you need several years experience to work up to that. A "technician" is far too general of a term to know what you mean...that's like literally every role in IT that's not sales or development.

Dru google it, of course there is. Learn how to google things before asking. This sounds like I'm being mean. I'm not I assure you, if you're in an IT Position and you can't figure something out and you reach for help to a sys admin they will ask you first "Did you google it?" So, learn how to google my friend.

Dru A great book is Mike Meyers A+ Certification Guide 220-901 and 220-902. This is a book that covers the basics of IT and desktop support. Sorry I know this comment is a little late, but it might be of use to you.

Strofi - A true professional would use whatever is best for a given situation. We get it, you probably read a linux book or two, now you think you're a tech genius. But good luck going into a business with Windows workstations, Office 360, etc, and setting up your uber Unix servers. Seriously, on that job, just set up the damn Windows Servers and get it over with.

To your surprise - more and more companies are ditching office for libreOffice and Google Docs. Windows server not only cost a fortune - their tech support is 100% complete crap.
