Yes, it's actually pissing me off reading these comments a little because it's not very helpful to tell me to get experience when I don't have any prior experience. That's why I have these certs and a degree man

I'm trying to decide whether it would be worth spending an additional 2 years upgrading my associates to a bachelor's in CS or not.

I don't see much of a demand for the RHCSA in my area (Toronto, Canada) but I see that basically every job posting has a degree requirement.

I'd be 25 by the time I finish school with the degree but I honestly just want to start applying for jobs I don't want to waste time.

I have the A+, CCNA and LFCS. I get my associates next week.

I'm aware that I'll probably get a bunch of responses of people saying "I don't have a degree or certifications!" but I'm genuinely confused as to how you're in IT without either of those things unless you knew someone or got in very early so some elaboration would be nice.

Should I just forgo the fast food gig entirely? I don't have any working experience besides that.

Edit: Sorry, I'd like to emphasize that I appreciate the advice you've given me. Great suggestions all around.
