It's absolutely worth doing Blighter. Stop prevaricating. Get yourself some qualifications, get a job with them to get some experience, learn as much as you can and go contracting.

I've told you this before TBH and so has Ben (a contractor for many years). If you're good at what you do, there is always work out there.

Get to it

OK (I'm having one of those "get off your arse and do something with your life" days )

Only thing is.. Which one(s)? There are so many! I want to do Network Support/Admin stuff so I presume that Network+ and a MS certification would be best?

Ring someone like Firebrand Training and ask them what they think - the courses are complex these days and you probably need professional advice on the exact path you wish to take

Oh, I presume you mean the choice of word. There's nothing wrong in using the word, "prevaricate" in this instance. He's asking what he should do already knowing the inescapable answer. In this way, the question is really rhetorical so he *is* prevaricating.

For example, I need to buy a TV but I'm asking around whether or not I should buy one. The inescapable truth is that I need to buy a TV. I'm not pontificating about whether or not to buy one necessarily; but I am prevaricating - putting off the inevitable, denying to myself that, in actual fact, I *do* need one

It's a perfectly cromulent word.

I think you mean inexorable.

Don't be so obtuse, the linguistic gymnastics from these two are both amiable to the ears.
