Two 3-day weekends in a row. Might have had a couple fleeting moments of enjoyment. Now the holidays are completely over.
You're either going back to a mountain of work or 600 unread emails that need immediate attention.
On top of that, you also just wrote check to your landchad. Bought yourself another 30 days.
Brutal start to 2024

Eh, I worked through the holidays. Srs. Pays 2.5x. And usually there ain't chit to do.
I know the feels of being off work for days, weeks, with the looming dread that there's hundreds of emails and lots of chit to catch up on or fix.
I'd rather grab more money from Noseburg and escape the false sense of a pseudo retirement. Aiming for the true sense of an actual retirement. One overtime shift at a time.i7-14700k

Many people have irrelevant degrees, or zero degrees, srs. I know a Sr manager that had no degree (but qualifying experience and certifications), and some directors with just a relevant Bachelor's.
All it takes is studying for and passing the Security+ CompTIA exam. Some people also advise the Networks+ as well, but that's up to you.
Just take and pass the Security+, which if you're new to IT, don't really know much about networking topics, etc. might take 3-6 months. Less if you've done some IT before probably. If you do, you'll conquer any entry level technical interviews, and will have a fairly easy time getting in. It does help a little though if you have a year or so of IT help desk or similar experience prior.
You can study for free with YouTuber Professor Messer.
