Hello everyone! I am new to the group. I come from an 18 year background in Veterinary Medicine. While I have no real IT background,  I have had my hands on many different software and cloud platforms and had to trouble shoot many problems, even though not salesforce related. I am hoping to gain insights and guidance towards the best way to get hands on experience while I am on my learning journey to pass my administrator exam. 

I see a lot of posts that it is hard to get a job after passing the exam, but I believe with enough networking and determination it is possible.
