It's true -- IT and computers has little to do with programming. What most IT people do is more comparable to plumbing or being an electrician.
Sales can also be extremely lucrative and personality is pretty much the only qualification. It's practically an executive position at many firms. If you can see him charming people. | ||

I wan't your friend to find a nice job too. Stuff that requires minimal certification can lead to a fairly decent wage. I have a cousin who drives forklifts for ~$16 an hour and people who say go do the training for USPS and fill that application out over an over while working a service industry job. Or go right into UPS. Also a lot of work at home customer support. I feel like if someone needs a better job than min-wage-basic income, working those terrible jobs while persuing a better career is the way to go. You have to keep your eye on the prize and not sit there going 'oh working the CS counter at macy's is my life' those are positions to work for while ya get your comptia++ oracledb cert etc... working tele-comm from home answering peoples calls about products online is huge if you could do that for cable or something you don't even have to spend money on a car, need a small tiny clean office area in your room you can screen off and have a little quiett and a decent internet connection --- if he wants to work in an office, while he does simpler jobs he can work on accounting certifications and stuff and then he can hang out in an office doing the books for businesses *note some of this stuff requires planning and moving to the locations with the big firm who does all the outsourced accounting, may include learning mandarin at some point Also, WELDING. man if he's got talent for it like I did and he has the chops to stick with it... it's a never ending lead to more and more jobs of everykind | |||

Not to shit all over you or him and since no one else is doing it, I'll play the role of "reality".
Let's recap... No tangible skills Not a people person Unreliable (that's what I gathered by "acts like a kid") You checked off every box that shouldn't be checked on a job application. Travel? With a position that requires a lot of travel, you must be reliable. All of these CompTIA/CCNA suggestions, require time and money. Also, the Network Administration field is increasingly becoming over inflated. A lot of it is being out sourced and technology is improving at a rate that allows 1 admin to manage networks that previously required 5. Cybersecurity is kind of the new "hotness" in the tech world right now. Realistically, your friend will not find a job opportunity that pays 25+ an hour. Not in the near future at least. Unless you live in some crazy population dense city. One last thing, this is a EverQuest forum, where the unemployed, disabled, and social burnouts gather in mass. Many here are very much, just like your friend. It's like asking an insane person for mental health advice. | ||
