I am going to get my A+ certification here soon and i am strongly considering taking some SQL classes down the road and network plus. As of right now where could i look at getting a job at with A+?
What type of job can i get with Computer skills
- Thread starter Mk3Jesse
- Start date
with A+ you can get a job doing any tech work...putting computers together and such, i say do that until you can get your MCSE or MCSA, thats where you'll start seeing a change in income 
i did the whole networking training thing and still havent taken my tests...i should but i havent. The tests are tough but doable, just study and concentrate hard.
Good luck.

What type of pay can i expect with a entry level job with A+? and where would i be looking for a job at, Like Best Buy's Geek Squad? or is that A- cert lol.empera said:with A+ you can get a job doing any tech work...putting computers together and such, i say do that until you can get your MCSE or MCSA, thats where you'll start seeing a change in income

I just have basic knowledge of networking, I can set them up, and all that but i dont know all the technology behind it and all the lingo
yea i thought i knew about networking when i first started but after going to class...wow theres a lot to know.
i would say anywhere from 12-18/hr would be a good start. I got offered 11 but had to turn it down, too far. Entry level is about 25-30k a year, i believe, might be wrong. Its a very competitive field but if you have the ambition and determination you could make a nice amount.

Cool, Thanks for the information. Thats not bad pay for starting out in hardware, Soon as you start getting into specialized fields thats when you probably make bank
thats what i have heard, especially if you get your foot in the door with the right people.empera said:what you want to aim for is anything to do with Security...thats where the money is...
Study up on all the lingo, abbreviations, and buzzwords for the interviews. That's really the only place all that stuff counts anyway, that and the tests.
desktop support is doable with an A+, most of the time the problems come down to user error (at least in my experiance). i was making 12 an hour over the summer with no prior exp or certs.
you should look in to ITT tech. i go there and i have learned a hell of a lot. the reasion why i went there is, i was working with 2 guys who made $200 an houre and they both worked full time. if you do the math its big money. they both had 4 year degreas in electronice engenering. thats what im in school for now. you can get a job dooing surface mount for a start. or go for an inturn ship. to help you get started.
