Im looking to change careers and really want to get into IT. The thing is I don't have any tech experience and just have moderate knowledge.
A friend of mine was just hired as an IT consultant who was in the same boat as me- no experience and limited knowledge, but the firm is training him.
My question is-is this common for the field? Do companies frequently hire entry-level guys and then train them themselves? I really dont have the time or money to go back to school and I'm looking for anyone who is in the field that may be able to offer some info. Thanks
