Point to your current resume

That way I can focus on a direction.

But without that, we need to define "enter IT".

What are your financial expectations / requirements?

And no, you will not get a $25 per hour job doing tech
support.

Reboot script monkeys are lucky to get $10 an hour.
Anything past that requires real skills which quickly
evaporate or go obsolete, so real tech people get out
of that as soon as possible.

We are in the process of hiring someone in the $40K
range at a hands-on Windows/Unix production guy. You
saw the ad I posted. I assume you'd be qualified for
this type of position but I'm not sure.

This type of position is a rarity. Low education (non
tech degrees do not count) low experience (home networks
do not count) "trainee" position are lucky to go
over $20K.

Entry level certs are worthless. High level certs
only have value combined with experience. It used to
be a person with a high level cert but not much experience
could get a decent job because there were so many positions
for so few people. Now it is the reverse and you are
competing with experienced people for the same positions.

If you want less tech and more hassle, you might be
qualified for project management. I say MIGHT because
in my world, project management also includes a lot of
analyst work. Fields, rules, layouts, and then finally
actual business process. The suggestions concerning PMI
certification are valid, and will give you an edge, but
not required.

I wish I had know about your interest. We hired 2 low tech
project managers in the last 2 months.

We might have a couple positions open in a while on
the account management side. This is not really a tech
position, more like a mix of big picture project
management along with upsell. You would need to learn
enough about the tech aspects of what we do to be effective
in talking about it, but not enough that you'd actually
have to do it.

When you don't have specific in-demand tech skills and you
need to make enough money to actually support a family,
you have to either be in sales or management. Choose
your poison.
