We’re going to say it: You should work in IT. TikTok, the news, and even your mom have probably been telling you the same, but what does it actually mean? Well, it means you’ll hate Mondays a lot less and make bank, but working in IT means dozens of different things. (Don’t roll your eyes just yet.)
What can you see yourself doing? Working from home as a technician, spearheading network problems at Microsoft, or leading a team at Tesla? Or not sure just yet? Whatever your goals, the starting point in IT is CompTIA certifications. Explore 15 of them in this e-learning bundle, now $49.97 (reg. $585).
Say goodbye to your dull 9-5 and hello to IT
No degree? It doesn’t matter. Have one? Sweet, those study habits will be advantageous when taking the certification exams, but you should start with the foundational CompTIA prep courses as a beginner: CompTIA A+ and Fundamentals+. These prepare you for a role as a technician or set the stage for more advanced careers.
From there, it’s open season. You’ll have complete access to all 15 courses for life, so you might take the introduction of each course to see what each role is about before diving deeper.
Any of these futures could be yours with the right combination of certifications:
- Cybersecurity analyst: Protect an organization’s data from cyber threats.
- Network administrator: Manage and maintain computer networks.
- Project manager: Plan, execute, and close IT projects.
- Ethical hacker: Test systems to identify security vulnerabilities.
- Cloud engineer: Develop and manage cloud infrastructure.
- DevOps engineer: Manage software development and IT operations.
And that’s just a taste. Picture those titles with companies you’ve always dreamed of working for (Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, etc.), and that’s a Monday you’ll be springing out of bed for.
Ready to work in IT? We thought so. Grab lifetime access to this 15-course CompTIA training bundle for $49.97 (reg. $585).
