Hello guys need your guidance in making a fresh career start in Computer Hardware & Networking at the age of 30 plus be it into taking up a job or doing business in this field.
Firstly would like to ask is it really possible???
Let me just give you a briefing about me & sorry as it could be bore for most.
Since my 10th standard I always wanted to do something in technical field especially computers but could not pursue it due lots of circumstances. With heavy heart I had to take up commerce field. Some how I managed to pass out 12th with first class but never enjoyed what I was doing, later it was just down hill.
Somehow I managed to complete graduation with drops in between along with some sales job experience.
I have few yrs work experience at junior executive level in Banks & Financial Institutions but that too was not enjoyable period for me. Later due to parents health I had to look a lot into our family business[Agro based products & Cash crops] & finally left the job & started looking into family business full time.
Now that I'm financially stable & able to fulfill the basic needs of my family, would like to venture into the field which I like & enjoy the most.
Software line is out of question as I'm too old for that but I would like to know from you that what are the prospects for an oldie like me if he decides to start afresh career into Hardware & Networking field.
I'm not entirely aware of networking field so please guide me.
How do I go about?
What all certification are there?
How much time will it take to complete a single certification?
Even if for starting up a business an work experience in live scenario is important so will I be able to get any after completion of any one basic certification?
Which Institute are good at imparting knowledge? [There are two institutes Jetking & CMS which I know]
Any more pointers could be appreciated. I'm having high hopes from you people.
Thanks in advance.
