Hi,
So I'm interested in getting an entry level IT Internship or co-op. I already have the Six Sigma Yellow Belt Project management certification as well as the NOCTI A+ computer certification. I'm currently trying to study for the LPI Linux essentials and the LPI 101 Linux+ certifications. My question is what jobs I should go for as I'm a college dropout (because they made state college free in my state, which would ironically make the degree carry even less/negative value in the job market/economy) entry level Information technology and computer-related jobs that I should apply for. I already have Information technology work experience and other internship experience.
Thank you.

It doesn't really work this way - "Here's my certification [or degree]! Where's my job?" A job isn't a reward for a certification (or a degree). It's a competitive process, and what you can actually do for a company matters more than what papers you have.

I am not sure why you are not able to check this for yourself.

For example, have you gone on employment websites such as Indeed, and look at jobs that match your qualifications? That is a more concrete answer to your question than a vague answer that any of us here can provide to you.
