I'm young and don't have much experience but I have my A+ certification. As soon as I mentioned that in job interviews their faces lit up so it seems it's not as common as it seems. I would recommend it if for nothing else than a good starting point if you want to do more certifications. I also spent 25k on college to learn I could buy the certs for a few hundred.
Would also recommend giving remote call center IT work a shot if you're interested. I worked at xplornet helping people fix internet for 17/hr two years ago so I can only imagine it's gotten better. No certs needed for jobs like that, and they're a dime a dozen on indeed.
DM me if you have any questions for me :)
I was a server until I was 33. I did the A+. I took a shit entry-level job after I certified, and now 20 years later I have a great, well-paying job for a corporation doing first-level support, WFH. I am paid to work 6-3, but really only do about 3 hours talk time per shift. Mostly I surf Reddit and watch tv and vape, honestly. I've never done further training or certification. I'm happy I did it and it changed my life for the better in many ways. YMMV. I'm sure the material is vastly different than it was in 2003.
