First, I have to say that all the positivity of this community is what has got me posting here and really making me considering going back to try to get into the IT field

I'm 33M, not as young as many of you.

I took and passed an A course in 2017 but decided to not get the certification because I was teaching music in schools at the time and the job was just getting better and better. (Big mistake)

Covid came and with schools closed, I lost my main source of work. Did online teaching which sucked, worked as a Pool Technician and strained my shoulder and had to quit, then recovered and my last job was at a warehouse fulfilling online orders but my shoulder was going to relapse so I had to quit again.

I want to get certified to start a career in the IT field because I've always had interested in it and want something stable and with good pay and no heavy physical work. I don't have any previous experience but I used to mess around with computers and laptops, installing OS, updating software, hardware and troubleshooting. It's easy for me to learn stuff especially if it's hands on.

My goal is to get certified and land a good job where I can learn more as I work and get more certifications in the future.

But I'm not sure if should I skip A and just go with N or even Sec if that would mean a possibility of getting a better paying job sooner?

I'd appreciate any comments and experiences.
