Hello. I got some stuff going on. I got some goals I'd like to work on, but been so tired and busy at work. I am also working on my personal goals about my past issues and my main goal of getting my place which is a very slow moving goal. I had my interview on campus in another dept hoping to get full time if I am chosen.

I am needing to improve my IT skills. I have no certifications as they are too costly and don't really have the money to get them. I went through workforce connections, too much going back and forth. I need to speak to an educational coach at the women's center not sure how I am gonna do that. This is my first time working in IT, but I am a part time temp with very limited tools at work. I want to work on my goal(s) of keeping up with technology. The problem is ever since apps came out in 2010, everything has been super fast now. I got my degree in Network Admin in 2010 and definitely weren't any jobs for new grads coming out of college in the state I live in. When I was in college, I wasn't working in the IT field part time again the jobs I did find wanted experience way before the issue we have now before 08.

I have a bunch of computer books. I did start reading one for a short while and moved on because something else came along that took my attention from the readings. I am hearing Microsoft wants to move to Win 9, I barely got 7 or 8! I need to read both hardware and software technologies, I want to concentrate on hardware of the computer. They say keep up with your skills, before that I got this job, how could anyone keep up with their skills if they are not utilizing them in a job setting?

Which is the best way to go about my goals? Computer technology has many different topics, like I said I want to start on hardware then move to other topics that I choose to. For those who are in the IT field can maybe give me some insight.
