So I looked it up and Google is offering certifications in various fields through Coursera, and they claim it’ll help one get a good paying IT job.
People have made videos on Youtube talking about them with varying answers and in the comments, people often discuss using them as a springboard to get CompTIA certs.
But are these certifications actually worth the money financially? Do people actually get hired if that’s all an employee has? Don’t employers want people with degrees too?
I’ve worked with people who had a GED and were tech support leads (and great at their jobs). If you are lacking in formal education, you’ll need to prove yourself other ways. It won’t be as easy but it’s possible.
