I am a 26 years old person who is starting (in some ways) in the IT industry but I don?t think am really going in the right direction. I started 3 years ago that time I was studying business administration as the time was running I was getting moreand more interested by the way technology was working and I started with a help o a good friend to make web pages and web development. I started my own web designing and developing company witch was not really a good idea so I quit the business andcontinue to experimenting with other possibilities by that time I change my major in my collage from business administration to information technology. Then I realize that the best choice for me it is getting more experience in my area so I got my current jog by the help of a good friend who is actually my boss today. I took three weeks ago the MCP certification and am learning Unix and Linux and also considering to get A+ and N+ cert. I have a very clear vision of what I want but am getting confused by the stories am reading here about the certifications and how they are consider in the market. This is my last year in college so am going to get my degree soon. This is my real problem I have some experience (three years in different areasbut experience but I can?t find a job here in my town because I don?t have my degree yet and employers didn?t gave me at least a opportunity to start as a entry level status. My current job is, as a data entry and I don?t have a good expectations off growing in the company am working because is not a technology oriented company.
What do you guys think I have to do to be successful?
What should I consider in trainings or certifications terms?
Tell me the best you can in a way to be a better professional?
P. S. I?m not really interested in programming my major interest is in network administration. I?m certified in W2K Server?
Thanks
