I've been thinking about getting some IT training/education, with an eye towards possibly changing careers, & would appreciate any suggestions (I realize this will probably open a huge can of worms, so I apologize in advance-but, I'm trying to make use of the resources available to me, & this list is a big one):
1) What's required to get an entry-level IT position (e.g. maybe the guy who's sole job is to install/update company software)? 2) I'm 43. Is it unrealistic to think I'll be able to gain the necessary experience that would make me a desirable candidate for a position over, say, someone who's 10 years younger and been doing this for 10 years? 3) I'm not looking for a management position necessarily; just want to get my foot in the door at this point. 4) I'm located in Indianapolis; there are several educational options: IUPUI School of Informatics, Ivy Tech, ITT Tech. I have strong Mac/PC skills (thanks in part to the contributors on this list); I'm also familiar with a variety of database applications, digital imaging & archiving methods, & related hardware. tia. david ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
