How CompTIA A+ changed my life

I get it if you're feeling stuck or wondering if it’s too late to change things. I spent a long time working in retail, and honestly, I thought degrees weren’t that important. I believed experience was everything and that a degree wasn’t necessary. But then everything changed when I got my CompTIA A+ certification.

That certification opened up doors I didn’t even know existed. It gave me the confidence to make a career change and land my first job as a Help Desk Technician. From there, I kept learning and moving up, eventually landing a remote job as a Technical Support Analyst at Cigna.

On top of that, I’ve been working on my Computer Science degree at WGU, and graduation is finally around the corner. After graduation, I’m going to try and slide into a software engineering job, which feels like a dream come true after everything I’ve worked for.

So, if you’re stuck in a job that feels like it’s going nowhere, or you’re wondering if getting a degree or certification is worth it, the answer is yes. You have more potential than you think, and it’s never too late to start. Your effort will pay off in ways you can’t even imagine yet.
