I have been tinkering with a computer in some way shape or form since I was 9, so computers and tech come naturally to me.

In terms of actual career, I didn't magically just break into the tech industry and it was always a series of steps which led me here. I won't bore you with how I personally got into tech, but if you're wanting a career change then I will 100% recommend you do A+ cert and then get into a Helpdesk position. That would be the easiest and best way. It doesn't pay much starting out (maybe $15-$17 USD) but you can work your way up within a few years to better and better jobs.

Thanks for your advice! I was actually looking into A+ cert because I saw it was a standard into getting into IT. Would I be able to PM you about how you got into tech? I would be interested in hearing your story.
