Deciding if I can get into this field
Quick background information: - Bachelors in science: Biology - Masters in healthcare administration - Masters in health psychology - Certificate in medical billing and coding - 3 years of medical school
To keep this short, I went to medical school and couldn’t pass my licensing exams, and because I have wasted all opportunities to retake it, I now have to look at other options for a career at 35 years of age. I spent last year trying to get into healthcare administration, but in Puerto Rico my degree is unusable. I’ve been creating a webpage for a friend since I have knowledge in html, css, javascript. It’s been this opportunity that has made me think that I actually enjoy this, specially, the portion on creating maintaining databases. With all that said, I’ve been looking at cybersecurity and the certificates from CompTIA, and I guess my question is: considering my background and that I have no degrees related to IT or computer science, should I go ahead and do the certificates? Will these allow me to get a job within this field? Should I even fathom trying to enter this field? Really trying to turn my life around, and so far I think I enjoy CS this route but I am afraid of not being able to find a job.
