I’m currently a line cook, considering making the switch, but I’m a little confused about where to start. A local community college offers some certs that seem promising.
I have a little relevant background, a minor in comp sci, but that was some years ago (trying to relearn some of the material in my spare time now).
Its tougher than it used to be. Certs are still a good way but you need one an employer cares about and the more generic ones won’t necessarily get you good pay. Since you have a comp sci minor you could try to find an open source project you could contribute to. A portfolio in dev is as good as certs in ops.
