OVERCOMING OBSTACLES TO ACHIEVE GOALS AT MYCOMPUTERCAREER Ramon decided to take a leap of faith and put all he had into starting a career in I.T. Ramon heard about MyComputerCareer and decided to give it a try, figuring he had nothing to lose and everything to gain. Ramon began the program with many financial struggles, including getting his car repossessed just one week after starting school. Ramon says he did not know how he would get to class everyday as campus is a 104 mile distance each week in order for him to attend class and on-campus time that was needed. He was determined and reminded himself daily that quitting was not an option. Click here to read more of Ramon's story!

How to Start a Career in Cyber Security Nearly anywhere you look in the world, cybercrime is becoming an increasing threat. Some experts even go so far as to say that cybercrime is the greatest threat to virtually every company and organization on the planet, a fact that governments and corporations across the globe are taking very seriously. For instance, the US federal government spent $75.4 billion on information technology in 2011, an expenditure that ballooned to a total budget of $95.7 billion for I.T. in 2018. Meanwhile, in Australia, over 11,800 people reported incidents of cybercrime to the Australian Cybercrime Online Reporting Network between April to June 2017.

“THE ROAD TO SUCCESS IS ALWAYS UNDER CONSTRUCTION” Branndon Mitchell came to MyComputerCareer in the latter half of 2016 with a desire to jump-start his I.T. career. He was working in retail, and while it paid the bills it certainly wasn’t what he wanted to be doing for the rest of his life. It was a MyComputerCareer radio commercial that completely changed his life and when he decided to enroll in the program. Branndon gained his first I.T. position while in school working as an I.T. Technician with Blue Technology. The pay was a small increase from what he was making in retail, but Branndon knew that his road to a financially rewarding I.T. position required a bit of experience on his resume, in addition to the certifications he earned. He enjoyed the work he was doing with Blue Technology, and a little over a year later, the MyComputerCareer Columbus team received a very exciting email from Branndon! I’ll let him tell the rest of the story… Click here to read the rest of Branndon's story!
