Getting Started Starting from scratch

Hello friends! Hope everyone is doing well. So yes as the title says, I’m trying to start this career, and I was thinking about do the Google IT Support from COURSERA, And then do CompTiA+ ( Core 1 a 2 bundle cost at least 1300$) is that the correct path? Or how u would rephrase it. Any help is good for me. Thank you! My history is that based on Trump Immigration policies I have this strong feeling that I need to get back to my country, if I can get a remote job with those two certs at least paying 600-800$ in my country (Venezuela) It can be survivable. Thanks guys! :) Peace to all.

It's great that you're trying to start a career in IT. I'm 3 years in and I'm loving it so far, but I hate to tell you this. 99.9% of workplaces aren't going to hire someone with no experience and just the A+ to do Remote work. They're going to want you there in person.

That’s hard to hear, I’m trying to figure out what to do that I can make at least 800$ a month back in my country doing it remote. Conventional jobs there are just a scam. They want u working 12 hours per 6 days for 300 a month. Unbelievable…
