Post-Retirement IT Job Advice? (BEWARE: Crazy Question)
#1
While I'm eligible to retire, and I gotten my BSBA - Gen. Mgmt, I'm thinking about another degree, certificate, job experience, etc. in the IT field. First, let me be perfectly clear. What I know about things computer could be engraved on the head of a needle. I use Microsoft Office Suite (Outlook, Word, and Excel, primarily), and do data entry in a system that uses Access. That's my computer experience. In my small office, I'd say I'm a bit better than average making the computer straighten up when it's acting up, but that's because I'm in a small office. Why, you ask, do I think I want to get into the IT field? Well, some folks here talk about moving from IT job to IT job. It seems like my kind of post-retirement life. I'd work, leave, vacation, and then get another job.

Is this a ridiculous understanding of any area of IT? If it isn't, what do I need to learn, and how can I learn it? Oh, and I don't think I want to program. Not that I'm entirely sure what programming is, other than the MOST general sense, but I don't think I'd like to do it.
