Any ideas? I’m 21 so not too many bills to pay.
I just need something that will give me the financial freedom to move around and hopefully some time left over.

    Use Coursera to take a Certification in an area that interests you like IT or bookkeeping. I found it dead easy and the courses were broken down into really small units that I could finish a few a day.

      Did you use those certifications to land a job?

        I got my job as a entry-level tech based on Linux ability and I’m currently Junior sis admin with no certs. I still don’t have certs. Just know how to Google and troubleshoot really good.

          Unemployed (unemployable?) linux nerd here, I can get a job for this? What sort of listings did you apply for?

            Help desk for web hosting companies I settled on one that wasn’t corporate medium, large size.

          So you used knowledge gained but not the actual certs themselves?

            Not really. I probably learned more from having a red hat based server and playing a game that emulates a Unix terminal environent than I learned from studying for comp Tia before I gave that up

      Coursera? Small units? This sounds useful (but for ADHD learning, not for jobs), I’ll look into this. How widely are the Coursera certificates accepted?
