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.

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

[–] Forester@yiffit.net 4 points 1 month ago

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

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

[–] Forester@yiffit.net 2 points 1 month ago

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

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?
