Getting my foot in the door….

I have just retired from GM and I want to get into the IT field. I have my A+ cert and presently working on my Network+. Money isn’t an issue with me. Got plenty and I just want to stay busy. Most places that I have applied at want experienced workers.

So it the chicken and the egg thing here.

How do I go about geting experience?

I have a small computer reapir business I run from my home. I have done work for several local businesses, lot of people whom I worked with at the plant, neigbors and family.

I would like to work at a medium size company with 2 or 3 people.
Am I setting my sights too high?

Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks
