Degrees don't mean shit these days. You got all them Indians to compete with, and they're cheaper than you.

Let it be seen that you are nothing. And in knowing that you are nothing... there is nothing to lose, there is nothing to gain. What can happen to you? Something can happen to the body, but it will either heal or it won't. What's the big deal? Let life knock you to bits. Let life take you apart. Let life destroy you. It will only destroy what you are not.

You don't have to have a degree in IT, you just have to know how to do the things you'll need to do for the job that you're applying to. A compsci degree for a help desk job is a complete joke though, and I doubt they actually care at all. If they actually require a compsci degree for a help desk job then you do not want to work for that company anyway.

I can't imagine any college that doesn't offer some form of IT degree. Disregard that though, and apply anyway. Nobody expects you to have a degree for a help desk job except some idiot HR person. Don't get psyched out about it, it's just a help desk job. If you want it, apply for it, and you'll probably get it as long as you know the basics of computers and troubleshooting.

Geek Squad pays like shit, and the experience will only help you get a help desk job. Don't even bother, get a help desk job like you said originally, which is already at the bottom of the IT department at any company. And with Geek Squad you'll have to deal with the general public. If you're gonna have to do that you might as well get a help desk job where you have to, but at least be getting paid more for it and some experience to move up beyond it eventually. Also, studying for some certifications wouldn't hurt.

What city are you in?

Have you ever done anything involving any customer service? You can spin that off into being able to work with users, if so. There should be jobs that will train you though. It's just help desk.


Here's one I found in less than 5 minutes: https://www.startwire.com/express_apply_jobs/MjEyNF9kYjlmMDk1Yjk5ZTIxY2JkN2Y3MTQ2ZWQyZTQ1OGVjYV9sdXVhX2k=?source=glassdoor_l2

Also, talk to some IT recruiters and ask them to find you entry level help desk jobs that will train you. TekSystems, Robert Half, or whatever you guys have out there. Talk to them all.

Also, study for certifications. Study for the A+, it goes over the basics. Once you feel like you could pass the test then consider paying the $400 for it. And then start working on an MCSA from Microsoft and pay for it and get the cert. Certs will get you past the 1-2 year experience requirement at a lot of those places because you'll be able to prove you know the basics.

Just had a phone interview for an internship.

She sounded surprised when I said I'd probably only take one class at a time if I was working full time.  :joneswtf:
