I just graduated from high school this past May, and I had decided to get into the IT field by becoming Cisco and Linux certified. The only problem is that no matter where I go to find a job they all want at least 3+ years working with Hardware/Software. At this point I am not certified, but this does have me a bit concerned. The only experience I have that even comes remotely close is working the summer for my girlfriends uncles repair shop, and taking computer maintenance course in high school(which were poorly taught). What options should I conceder?
