I have no experience in the computer industry. But I'm a fast learner and I have been
fascinated with computers since I purchased one two years ago. I am willing to give up my
current job and start all over again because there are no limitations on what you can do or create
with computers today--and just think of what we will have in the future. I want to be apart of
that. How or where should I start? Should I take classes? and if so which ones? Or should I try
to find a company that will hire me with no experience?
Start by taking some basic classes. You can do this at your local community colleges,
high school adult education, or at places like Comp USA (Keep your job while you're doing this).
There is a great need for help-desk and PC-support type talent everywhere. That would be a
great start. Beyond that, it would be essential for you to have a four-year college degree with a
major in computer science.

Should I get certified or a bachelor's degree?
