Hey everyone,
I hope this is the right spot, sorry this is my first post. I have 4 years of IT helpdesk experience at college, and this wasn't just me answering phones and emails, if anyone brought in a broken computer or phone or one that was full of viruses or malware, I wouldn't hesitate to stay past hours to work on it. It was like a fun puzzle to me. I just recently started learning HTML and CSS for my job and found it very easy to pick up. I looked at SQL and (if I can find time and somewhere to practice) don't see too many issues learning it on my own time. I built my own computer, am advanced in Microsoft applications, am good with PC's and Mac's and generally decent at computers. I have no experience with servers or networking, but I seem to pick things up very quickly. I have a degree in Marketing and am only a year out of college and 2 weeks away from moving across the country to AZ. I'm curious what my next step should be. Should I get a job in Marketing for now and learn SQL and gain other certifications in the mean time, or should I look at a helpdesk job that I'm decently qualified for? What's everyone's experience on this?
