Hello friends.
I just wanted to ask your advice/opinion on my situation.
I'm in my late 20s, based in London, with a BA in Foreign Languages and MSc in Business Management. I've been mainly working in Sales and I'm really sick of it. Agencies mainly call me for that type of role and I hate it.
I've always been an IT enthusiast and I'm trying my best to move into that area. Unfortunately I do not have a degree in IT and no experience. Obviously I have my personal knowledge but unfortunately it's not certified with any piece of paper.
I've been applying to entry level roles (obviously with time I would be keen to reach higher positions) but so far nobody called me (I've been applying on CV-Library, Reed, Monster). Well I received calls from a couple of companies that pretend to hire you, but only if you buy and pass a course that they sell to you.
What should I do? I thought about going back to uni and get a Computer Science degree, but it's really expensive and I'm not sure I still have the mindset to start studying again.
I've been told of certifications, but they're really expensive too, and for the price I would rather consider a degree that will last forever than a certificate that easily becomes obsolete.
I'm really confused. Your ideas and advices are very welcome.
Thanks
