<prompt> Human: I am 25 yrs old, and have been working in the Food service industry for quite some time now 8-9yrs- the thing is that I only make about 10hr doing so. Even with my knowledge and experience its almost impossible to ever break more than said amount. With my rent bills almost every paycheck I receive is narrowed down to less than 100 for the next 2 weeks. I started applying to other jobs in different fields, but my resume is just liter d with kitchen work so no call backs. I dont want to cook anymore, I want to do something else. Im starting school back in fall, but honestly cant wait 2 years for a career change. Any advice?  <response>: I posted this yesterday in another thread, if you like computers its a fast way to the top:Take a CompTIA A certification, 180 x2. Get an entry level desktop support job. 30kyear. Then take your MCSA for MS2012, 150 x4.You can self study for these, there are many online training videos from youtubers. Purchase a study book and maybe some practice exams.You can make 45kyear with these, more if you have experience. There are many certification you can take after these to expand your portfolio and increase your income, depending on your and your companies needswants. You dont need a 4 year degree in the IT field. Id argue you dont need any college at all actually. And once you get into more advanced certs, like MCSM or Ciscos or maybe even some Linux certs, you can make 80k or more.Professor Messers Comptia A free course.
