I’m going to start looking after I finish my CompTIA A+ and then continue to add certs. Most jobs I see in my area really want A+.

I am literally in this same boat now. My state is sponsoring memberships to Coursera and I’m wrapping up the Google IT Support Specialist Certificate course, there’s also an IBM course of the same premise. It has gone over the most basic information, most of which I was already familiar with. But it has touched on material I was not knowledgeable at all in. I also got the humble bundle mentioned above and will move onto that after for more in depth learning.
