If you need experience you can try doing volunteer work, I did that and it gave my cv a lot of character

i've thought about tech school but the only one here is this for profit one that gives me a lot of "everest" college/donald trump college vibe.. I dont want to get scammed.. the community college gives out linux and sys admin courses but i go back to check the job ads on indeed and all those positions require at least 3 years of experience.. I am afraid ill just waste my money.


>>11580514
have you done it before? i am checking craigslist rn but a lot of it are either scams or pyramid schemes..

That is a very cute monkey
Believe me I have it worse than you, but I didnt give up.
What I would do is apply for the police academy or border patrol.
The applications take like 8 months to go through, but in 4 years you could be making over 100k.
I did it, and it takes a while for eveything to go through but its not a bad move

you can learn on the job as an elecetrician,
also military will take you esp if you have computer skills. Youll go through basic then work at an office for 4 years and retire with benes and potential top secret clearance if you do it right.

You have a good opportunity here OP. Make another app that makes you $200 passive a month. Then another one. Then another one. And on and on Anon. 90+% of biz could not code an app. I can't.

>and buy a bit of link too.
