So after wasting a large part of my life working in couple different industries iv decided that IT is the correct route for me.

It seems getting a comptia a+ cert is a good start for someone green wanting an entry level or at least start going the right direction. (please let me know if im way off)

Anyone can point me to some study/practice/learning/helpful material? And if im incorrect about CompTIA A+ cert being a good starting point for an entry level let me know thanks.

Check out Professor Messer on YouTube. Super professional and comprehensive exam prep videos are available on his channel for free. I relied on his videos, a flash card app, and Mike Myers CompTIA A+ study guide when I was broke and trying to get A+ certified and into the IT field. It worked out for me. I owe Professor Messer a debt of gratitude.

I second the recommendation for Professor Messer. I went through his videos when I was prepping for the A+ exam last year. An amazing resource all for free. If you're moving forward to get Network+ and Security+ too, Messer has a whole series of videos for those as well.
