Am going to keep it short. Am 26 currently been working for uber and lyft. I got admitted into Arizona State University last year. My entrance exams included mathematics. I have always struggled with mathematics all my life and the most i can do is basic number sets and operations and that’s it. Please don’t bother recommending any way to improve because trust me i have tried. My mom is a teacher and a counselor and my dad was a teacher as well. All my siblings are well educated in math and they have tried and i have deleted my YouTube, Facebook, gym membership etc. to focus and nothing has changed and even fell in love with it but every time i would fall asleep during math’s class. Please please please please, if anyone has a good career advice or any solution to bypass this and get into a career that is rewarding and deserves my handwork, i will appreciate it. I’ve had no zeal to move on with life anymore because of am very ambitious, good person and hardworking. I wanted to plead to my fellow humans for help and that’s all i have before i make my next decision!
Thank youu Soo much. And what certifications do you recommend? and sources you got them from. Am sure you understand how mentally grueling and unfair this stuff is! 😕
Start with your MTA. That’s the basic IT cert for getting into Help Desk type roles.
From there your next cert should be A+. If you can skip the MTA and get A+ by itself that’d be good but A+ is harder.
From there it depends what you want to do it IT. Networking? Get the Network+ Cert. Cyber Security? Get the Security+ and CISA and CISSP certs.
I’m a Systems Admin. So I got these Certs (Most recent at top).
Start at the bottom and go up. Skip VMware unless you want to be a VMware Architect
