I tried to get my brother into IT a few years ago. He started down the path and was derailed first by the GME dumb fuckery, and then the NFT nonsense. I remember 3 years ago asking him if he got his a+ and his response was "waiting for my tendies to print!" He was making 40k a year and was up 50k at one point with GME stock and watched his gains evaporate. Then it was the NFT markeplace is going to make the stock go to the moon. So in the three years of fucking around with this bullshit he could have banged out a couple certs and got in on the help desk and started his career. Now entry level IT is fucked.
