Taking this thread seriously though - I work at a themepark kinda place which is a seasonal part time job called diggerland, whole amusement park built around diggers bla bla.

BTW I'm only 18 years old so still trying to find my way through into a decent occupation.
The A+ is a very common cert. It doesn't make you competitive as everyone has it. Get your network + and maybe your MCTS and look for Help Desk Tier 1 jobs. Also, don't tell anyone your age they aren't allowed to ask you, and they would discriminate against an 18 year old.

Have you considered college? The IT field is swimming with CS and MIS degrees, so you really aren't competitive without a degree unless you are a young Bill Gates or something.
