<prompt> Human: Im working construction right now and I make about 14 an hour 40 hours a week. I want to get into computers but Im 18 living on my own. Whats the best way to go to college and get a job that is tech supportcomputer building? My rent is 550 and car insurance is 100. I dont enjoy my job and I need to find a new job doing things I enjoy which is mostly technology.Edit: Thanks for all the replies guys, Im thinking of going to the community college in my area and try and get my general education online and then take it from there. The problem with getting tech jobs is I live in a small town of around 40,000 people and its not a very techy town.Edit 2: I am just looking for a job that can get me in the door, Does anyone know an employer that is tech support that you can work from home? Is there any risk with me starting a side job where I post a craigslist ad to fix computers?  <response>: Computer building isnt really a job per se but I think I know what you mean. You could try to get some tier 1 call center tech support role now maybe easier thru an agency, rather than working directly as a full time employee. Then, save up for and pass some basic cert like the CompTIA A or something equivalent. Then, try to use your cert and experience in call center to get into better helpdesk IT support job. From there, you should be seeing a little more money and you can see what area might be your interest networking, systems admin, development etc.If you still like it, you can try to move up thru the organization into the area you are interested in, collecting relevant certifications as you go. There will probably be a ceiling you hit with just certs alone but maybe not, depending on your ability. At that point, you could consider college if you absolutely need a degree to move up.Tldr: you may not need a degree to work in IT, and definitely dont need one to try out the entry level
