Am going to keep it short. Am 26 currently been working for uber and lyft. I got admitted into Arizona State University last year. My entrance exams included mathematics. I have always struggled with mathematics all my life and the most i can do is basic number sets and operations and that’s it. Please don’t bother recommending any way to improve because trust me i have tried. My mom is a teacher and a counselor and my dad was a teacher as well. All my siblings are well educated in math and they have tried and i have deleted my YouTube, Facebook, gym membership etc. to focus and nothing has changed and even fell in love with it but every time i would fall asleep during math’s class. Please please please please, if anyone has a good career advice or any solution to bypass this and get into a career that is rewarding and deserves my handwork, i will appreciate it. I’ve had no zeal to move on with life anymore because of am very ambitious, good person and hardworking. I wanted to plead to my fellow humans for help and that’s all i have before i make my next decision!

    Start with your MTA. That’s the basic IT cert for getting into Help Desk type roles.

    From there your next cert should be A+. If you can skip the MTA and get A+ by itself that’d be good but A+ is harder.

    From there it depends what you want to do it IT. Networking? Get the Network+ Cert. Cyber Security? Get the Security+ and CISA and CISSP certs.

    I’m a Systems Admin. So I got these Certs (Most recent at top).

    Start at the bottom and go up. Skip VMware unless you want to be a VMware Architect

    AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner

    CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501) – Security Plus

    VMWare Certified Associate (VCA-DCV) – Data Center Virtualization

    Microsoft Technology Associate (MTA) – Windows Operating System
