I'm 42 years old and have plenty of business experience in the accounting field, but not I'm branching into the IT field with a career change. I love computers and the internet and learning Windows 2000. Just passed my Windows 2000 Professional Examand am a MCP. What types of jobs should I be aiming for or what type of jobs are out there for me at the stage of my career?

First off, you need the all important experience. Get ant job you can that will let you use networking and admin skills. Learn from someone with more experience. Usual entry level jobs are deskside support, tech support and helpdesk. Try to volunteer and get experience that way. What about helping at the school you went to for your MCP? Can you do volunteer work there? It will take some time to get into a great job, but it will happen. Set up a lab in your house and use Win2000 server and pro to get used to them.

Good Luck
