Should I take the A + Certification for Computers? I am only 14 years Old but know a lot about computers. I don't know if it's worth Spending the $150 bucks that the test costs. Could someone please help me out?


Thanks

But isn't it good for jobs...in the computer industry? Because I'm thinking about getting a job when I turn 15 in about 25 days....But I don't know if I can find a Good Computer type job.

Wrong. My A+ has been more beneficial in getting jobs than my MCSE or CNA.

Consider what you are commenting on.

Well if you read through previous posts about this subject you'll find that A+ does not mean a lot in the real world when you're looking for a job.

I think it might help you land a job at say Circuit City, Best Buy, Comp USA doing tech work for sure. But as for later in life I don't think it'll be much help.

Anyways you're looking to use the A+ cert in the near distant future. So I think it's worth it, do it.
 
Has anyone actually taken the test? If so could you give me a type of ? they ask...So...if I do think about really taking the test I should know what to Study...


Thanks

There's a thread on A+ still visible on the main off topic page. Go there and read the tips that people have already posted.
 
Because your time and effort and 150 bucks could be invested in a lot better things. Youre 14, and after looking at your site, youre definetly not going to get a job, ever.

PS Computer Type jobs suck ass. Being a tech is not fun. Fixing computers is not fun.
 
I'm pretty sure you can learn HTML and have a great website for free.

But anyway I was talking about the content. I.E., youre too stupid and immature to get hired by anyone, unless youre good at bullshitting.
