Don't start your IT/tech career with AWS certification first.

- Instead, learn some scripting (bash, python). You will need to constantly work on improving this.

- Learn how to set up a Linux server and get a website going, from scratch. Even if you won't do it much in real life, it's helpful to know how it's done.

- Get at least AWS Associate cert.

- Find an employer/manager who will let you work with AWS in lab/production in real life.
