I'm sorry, but being in the IT world for about 4 years now I completely agree with Mad_dohc. I have so many friends that took the ECPI, ITT, or any Tech college route, and they are having the hardest time trying to find a job. I agree the best thing is experience! You can have all a big college degree, and a millions certs, but an employer will look at someone that has hands on experience over you. I will not hire someone unless they have hands on experience because I want them to be able to work without having training. It cost time / money to train someone.

If I were you I would get experience in a shop even if its a small computer store. You need the background for an employer to trust you know the information.
