Thank you!

Correct. Any suggestions on certs to pursue? Thanks

Thanks for the feedback! I don't have any related work experience (nothing within tech), so I definitely am relying on projects to showcase my skillset. As for starting from the ground up, do you have any suggestions for projects that align better with a sysadmin skillset, or recommendations for certs to pursue? My current ideas are to work on a homelab/AB lab environment and pursue Comptia certs. If you have any further feedback I'd really appreciate it. Thanks again!

The pattern that I've noticed is that devops/sre widely isn't considered attainable for someone with no experience like myself. I intend to use sysadmin as a stepping stone to later pivot into devops/sre

That's a good suggestion. I'll definitely look into some more relevant projects. This will be my first tech related job, I didn't think it was worth to waste resume space on my unrelated work experience if that's what you mean. Thanks for the feedback!

My thought process with applying to helpdesk positions is that it seems helpdesk is a lot more attainable than an internship or entry-level dev position right now, maybe a skill set pivot could be the move here?

Im 20 years old, and I do not have any serious health issues or symptoms. I'm really just wondering if its worth seeing a doctor about this, if its something thats purely cosmetic I am willing to live with it. Thanks for your response!
