Switching from a Job to a career in the IT field: Need an IT pro’s advice

by axell.ojeda . Updated 13 years, 9 months ago

I am 26 currently working at a government office(City employee). I’ve been an employee for about 8+ years now and at the same time i have been continuing my studies through college(unfinished) & technical schools for IT. I have done some self studying and received my A+ and Network + certs. Currently working on my MCITP/MCSE track (Win7, network infrastructure, active directory, etc.). Considering i have no experience in the field, it seems like a pretty tough task to transition from one field to another and keep the salary i currently hold especially in this economy. Should i go back to college and get at least my Associates? Continue with Certs and find an internship to gain experience? My goal is to go from a job to a well paying career. Your advice is very much appreciated.
