You wouldn't happen to be in Georgia would you? I don't have that paper, but I've got all that other stuff down pat. I got into tech thanks to EverQuest. When I first started playing, it was on a rinky dink HP back in 2002 that was low spec even then. I learned my way around by trying to squeeze every bit of power out of that system that I could. I've since built my own PC's, tooled around with Linux, got into media PC's what my budget has allowed, done everything I could think of with Android devices, including a physical repair here and there. LOTS of rooting, trying new roms, fixing boot problems for other people.
The bug bit me, I just don't have any certifications. Working on A+ now though. I passed practice exams right off, though networking is my weakness. I've been throwing myself out there in the meantime though. All it takes is someone like you to give me a shot.
