Career Crossroad

Hi folks,
I'm stuck as to what to do this September.
I've passed my C&G IT sytem support and A+ Certified Pro IT Technician, and was wondering what to do next...........
I've been looking into a few things, but am undecided.

What would be a realy good career course for me to take from here? I'm more technically minded, and not to keen on loads and loads of typing. Would I be able to say get into say, uni with my qualifications? I also have an O'level in Mathematics and Chemistry.

I'm realy am stuck and there's not realy long now untill the new term.

I'd think carefully about whether you want to go to uni, even if you can...You have a number of professional qualifications behind you - which should be enough to get your foot in the door at a lot of places. You could then learn on the job and take any courses they offer you in the meantime - a lot of employers will offer you MS certification, that kinda thing.

Going to uni will be very expensive and take at least 3 years - with a couple of promotions in that time you could find yourself *a lot* better off in the long run by not going.

Just food for thought...

Well perhaps you could spend a year trying to find a 1st Line support role (that seems to be the route you want to take given your qualifications) somewhere near you and start progressing in that role gaining experience as you go.

otherwise if you don't find work in a year go to Uni.

hope this helps.
