Hey! I’m a Junior in college. I have a small family and was wondering what good jobs/companies were out there to get out of the restaurant/warehouse/call center pit. Any ideas? I’m interested in Tech (working on SEC +). Thanks!

Do you have any tech skills or are you completely green? If you've got a little bit, you might be able to land a support role.

Thanks for your reply! I’m pretty green. I’ve studied half-way through the sec + testing objectives. From what I’ve seen, most newbie support roles want experience over anything. If I don’t have 1-2 years experience, what do you suggest I do to enter one of these jobs?
