Don't enroll in CIS/CIT or whatever unless you have a clear goal in your mind. I guess that is true for any degree, but not having a clear goal in your mind is bad. No degree makes you superman, and never assume that finishing a degree is going to create the goal for you.

 

most good IT jobs are going to require a certification these days as well, A+ is usually the "starting point" but doesn't have to be. Take a look at some IT job openings you may be interested in and what their requirements might be to even apply for it. Basic tech support jobs are a great learning tool but it can also be thankless and frustrating at times. I've done both over the phone and deskside support for the last 10+ years but have shifted away from that now. I do NOT miss working in the big corporate world that tells you how to dress or to cut your hair!
