      They could’ve gotten it from trade school for free, some high schools offer it for no price. I’m 19 years old and I’m making $30/hour working in IT. I didn’t go to tech school for computer networking though, I originally went for auto motive. I got my CompTIA A+ certification, and I also have my own electronics store on eBay where I sell Libreboot computers and other hardware (routers, switches, etc.).
