Thinking about becoming a bus driver...

Yeah real talk, I kinda feel like giving up at this IT shit.

Too old and these crackers talking about homelab and make projects and all this shit, I study all day and no luck.

Got a poor work history filled of shit jobs so I probably need to accept my fate at this point, these crackers keep changing the bar.

At least I can say I returned to school in mid 40s and finished but reality is bleek.

Time to stop complaining and just accept it.

CCNA did nada, don't even see much network engineer jobs that will hire entry level.

Time to get real, at bus drivers have decent health insurance.

CCNA, A, N, expired S, AWS cloud practioner, Linux essentials, ITIL 4

Not a damn offer after almost 10 months of looking just rejection emails.

I got a backround of security guard work and low level office jobs.

Need to be real and stop fighting, I had bouts with depression my whole life.

I study phython and sql in my spare time and learn powershell also but the experience is lacking.

Think I'm just gonna aim for 50k a year health and dental and call it a day.

If you're in the private sector, try for government IT jobs. It may not be as demanding. I would look federal, state and local, even the school system has IT positions.

Not this again.

I gave my high school friend the same info I gave you about State Farm jobs. He got hired, start date is Jan. 13.

All he had to do was have a degree and do an online interview.

You really shouldn't make these threads until you've applied at most of the companies I posted last time...it had to be at least 50.

check ya pm

I'm guessing he had no experience, that's more customer service based... my resume is IT based I would need to get rid of alot of it and just make it plain.

It's 50-60k base and unlimited overtime.

He has a degree in Computer information Systems.

I told him TAKE THE JOB TO GET IN THE DOOR and post out later for IT positions.

Or stay in claims and move up. You can be promoted in 90 days.

Ain't a damn thing wrong with a city or state job. Check to see if the city or state has IT positions. Hey man have you ever considered getting into internet security work? If not, think about it.

Have ChatGPT or some other AI redo your resume. Claude.ai is free and ChapGPT has a free tier.

keep at it dog, getting that experience is your main barrier, so just get on upwork, fiiver, start your own company and do some free trial stuff to get clients and experience or do pro-bono work to get your experience up by working with non profits, etc. Others in this thread had some good ideas as well but it's def so many ways to gain that experience.
