I went into the Air Force at 18 years old, got out at 24 with only an A+ cert to my name, but I can talk. Someone once told me that they had to be careful around me, because I could talk them into or out of pretty much anything at any time for any reason. I used this skill on interviews, I had 3-4 actual years of experience on a help desk, and a crummy A+ cert that is as close to useless as anything you can find, but I made them want me. I worked for Diebold voting systems for a while, making $28 an hour, usually about 70 hours a week, so I didn't do that very long. Then a few odd jobs here and there, until I was unemployed. Being unemployed sucks, having 0 dollars on you and no dollars coming in is hell. I figured I need to get a good job and soon, so the first interview I went to, I made them need me. The Job was a perfect fit, close to home, the pay is great for this area $40,000 a year around here is $50-55 elsewhere.
The trick is to sound like you are exactly what they are looking for, and exactly what they didn't even know they needed, create a position for yourself and fill it well. (God I wish I knew COBAL..lol) School is nice, but imo it's overrated if all you want is to make money. There are so many easier ways.
