Building a Tech Career The Long Way

My Path Into Tech: Lessons, Missteps, and Getting Started

Breaking into tech isn’t as simple as bootcamps and influencers make it sound.

Job descriptions feel unrealistic. Certifications don’t always open doors. Career paths are rarely linear—and most people don’t talk honestly about the missteps, pauses, and restarts along the way.

My Path Into Tech is a short, realistic guide for jobseekers, career switchers, and beginners who want clarity—not hype.

Written by an IT Support professional with years of hands-on experience in help desk, desktop support, technical support, and cybersecurity internships, this book shares a real-world view of how people actuallyget into tech today.
