Good evening, /g/entoomen. I've been a bonehead all my life and I've always failed school not because I'm dumb, but because I seem to lack motovation or some ability to succeed academically. This has carried on to college and I've failed so many times I can't go back to community college for a year. I've been working my ass off for one thing though and that's pic related. Is it enough to land me a decent enough job until I'm able to get my Associate's Degree or further my education in some way? Thank you for your guidance.
Pic is of me studying.
The ability that you lack to succeed academically is probably abstract reasoning, sorry.
You're wasting your money with more education. Learn sales and people skills and you'll be able to make lots of bank.

I'm actually in sales and I do pretty well but I want to do more with my life.

Just become an honest tradesman you stupid shit. Not everyone has the ability to sit at a desk for 9 hours every day and be bored to death.

I was able to land a database administrator job without a degree or any certifications. The job I took does have conditions though and one of them was to pass sec+, which I did. All I can tell you is know people who you can demonstrate your skills
Failing community college, midtier kek

I work with a man who is a Commercial Appraiser who owns his own business as well and I sit there with him and work on reports (as well as doing field work) and I handle all of his technical issues. It's not a matter of if I will be in the field, but if the cert alone is enough to get started. Thank you for your advice.

do more with your life than sell. The problem is that your journey towards a meaningful existence is NOT through education. If you already know sales then realise that you're being sold. You're being sold an idea of education leading to a good life when it really doesn't lead to a life better than the one that you already lead.
Look around the internet for career advancement opportunities, make money, and then to get more meaning in your life, start a charity.

You say "career advancement opportunities". Like what? Knowledge and accomplishment seem like that to me.

Accomplishment means more than knowledge. You're getting outside of my realm of expertise, but more or less you have to start thinking less like an employee and more like a manager/employer.
Work for smaller businesses, where career advancement is really easy. Once you're good enough at your job, your portfolio of achievements will grow alongside the businesses that you help succeed.
Accomplishments -> knowledge. Not the other way around. Look for accomplishments, not knowledge by itself.
I just got my A+ certificate. Which one should I aim for next, the Network+ or Security+? I plan on taking the CCENT/CCNA ones next year.
I'm taking the security+ exam too OP. Theoretically from what i heard, if you have it you basically got majority of the military and government firms on your dick.
