I know this bowl has been a little inactive, but I wanna just share this.

I'm just hoping to communicate with others in this industry. Im 21 and struggling to show whether its worth it to take some certs or keep trucking on with the experiences as an IT contractor.

Everyday, day in and day out I hear that Im the the first "lady" in this and the first Latin(e) in that, and I feel alone, professionally, and need guidance.

Hola! Being the first and o my is really a heavy load but remember you are paving the way for others coming behind you. Certificates are helpful depending on the field and it sounds like you already know you need them. It helps to sorrounded yourself with people who support you and joining groups of like-minded people. I recommend Techquería, Latinas in Tech, and Tribaja on slack.
