[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am surprised nobody suggested IT. Do a simple QA certification, plenty of centers in NoVa, will take 4-5 months and you can get a 60-70k job and most probably WFH. A fiend of mine just did this, she is 40 and had no prior work experience at all, now she has a 70k full WFH job. Something to think and research.[/quote]

What is QA certification? Is it more like admin work? I always associate IT work with coding, which isn't for everyone, and you won't get good at it in a few months (unless you have natural inclination and talent for it).   If it were easy then every idiot would apply, 70K remote after such short training sounds too good to be true without some connections..[/quote]
QA is basically a tester.

Quality Assurance.

A tester of what exactly that it doesn't require much skill or experience?  Is this something related to consumer products interface testing? Or running scripts that someone else created and doing more of an admin job?

In my experience proper testing can be more complicated than writing code.  Not only you need to understand what code does, you also have to have great analytical data skills to create test data sets and challenge the code to see if logic breaks.  This is probably not the type of QA testing you are referring to.
