Computer jobs

I know a lot about computers... I can build them from scratch, troubleshoot and fix both hardware and software problems, set up networks, etc. ect. ... but I have no certifications. Ultimately, my goal is to own or manage a computer building & repair shop, which like makes housecalls to set up networks and stuff.

My sister's apartment complex has a free Cisco school for residents. So I plan to get an apartment there, get CCNA certification, use that to get a job, and then (while getting other Cisco certifications) save up to get A+ certification.

Does this sound like a good plan, and what jobs can I get with CCNA certification?

You don't need a certification to assemble PCs. Certifications are for idiotic managers, get some if you want to get hired by them. BTW, CCNA means nothing; I've heard so many horror stories of CCNA people confusing TCP and UDP or misunderstanding subnet masks.

the horror

come back when you have a real horror story to tell. Come back when you've dealt with DICOM

Piece of advice: You'll work like hell, costumers will always think you did the worst job ever, some of them will keep calling you an year after you did them a job blaming on you for shitty spyware they got, and the payoff is just not worth it.

If you wanna work with computer assemplying, networks and stuff, it's best if you do third part jobs to other companies.

To assemble and repair computers you don't really need certification, though it's nice if you have some sort of courses or something. For networks, things are a little more coplicated. To build house networks you don't really have to, but to build structured networks for enterprises/companies, it's best if you have some sort of certification.
