When I was working on my associates degree, part of the final semester was getting an internship in the field. The school helped me get a job at a local PC repair center. I worked there for about a year fixing spyware, hardware, software issues. Then I got a full time job with a local school district as a computer tech...which turned out to be a systems administrator job. So I was administering about 30 - 40 servers, over 3000 users and 600 PCs. I just left that job back in June and I'm now working at Saint Louis University as a systems administrator...all with my associates degree. I'm about 3/4 done with my bachelors degree.
Moral of the story, start small...like a local repair shop and work your way up. Experience counts for A LOT in the IT field.
