Thank you for this video! I have gone back to university as a single mom at 48 years old. Only one more year until I get my bachelor's in business with a Certificate in Advanced Cybersecurity. Here's to changing my life!
I am earning a bachelor's in IT and I am scared to get stuck at the help desk but seeing this video helps me understand that I can always jump to coding because that is truly what I want to do.
Hi Andrea, I’m in the same position currently. If u don’t mind me asking how was your journey after graduating, Any advice or tips for a stressed student?
Im a year into information science tech and am scared also lol
I graduated in computer science and haven’t found a job since December 😭 it’s tough out here
@@MrJulioolivareswow that’s Crazy smh wish you the best of luck 👌🏾
I hired many programmers in my time. We almost only hired people with at least a BSc, less than 10% of the people had no degree. Three reasons a degree is important:
- The personal department loves it;
- For me as your boss, it is guarantee, that
- you have the IQ to do the job
- you have been trained in a certain way of rational thinking and approaching problems.
The type of degree has been less important, I have hired a BSc in mechanical engineering for programming a kernel.

This is true to some level, but what happens when you get in and are stuck. I am going back to school now for that reason. Several hiring managers have ask me to look at it this way. You interviewed the same, your resume is the same, and experience is the same. You both seem to be a good fit for the company. There is one exception, the other person has a degree and you don't. That person wins 90 percent of the time. Some companies wont even look at you outside of a lower midlevel position without a degree. Others you won't even get past HR.
I'm currently in my last year of my bachelors in Information Technology; I have multiple specializations in cybersecurity and full stack web development so I pretty much can do almost anything at this point. I spend every hour of my days even after school work learning as much as I can from developing mobile and web apps, machine learning models, and security research; my worries are that it's going to be very hard to find a job with no experience. However, I do work at the college with my professors as a student administrative assistant and this can hopefully be an alternative to an internship.
Can you help me ?
Norman help yourself?
This a great idea. I've been trying to think of what I want to specialize in. I know I'm wasting some time playing video games and relaxing. Sometimes it's needed other times it's a waste. I kind of like programming, but need more time on the overall concepts and practice building apps.
What sources do you use to learn this?
@@domwings4329 College, UA-cam, Udemy, Certification Books, Practice Test, just anything and anything that you can learn to get your hands on and create projects. Most of what I learned in college was hands on practical experience. But that was just a starting point for me.
You can get any IT job without a degree. Despite what you have been told, your degree doesn’t matter. Your ability to execute and deliver is what matters.
I'm IT Support and at my workplace we do pretty much everything between tier 1 and tier 2. Whether its fixing AD accounts or a messed up printer all the way up to diagnosing software issues and network issues. Honestly the IT industry is so broad its hard to pinpoint specific job titles at the lower level because you will most likely become a jack of all trades until you specialize in a specific area. So with that said you will gain a lot of experience in many different areas depending on the company you are working for. Its weird because ive only seen Help Desk or Desktop Technician titles yet mine is IT Technician/ IT Support and we do almost everything.
Having certs and being able to make stuff work is one great, but to rise to the top you need to understand where IT fits into the business model, this is where a degree vs. cert, and experience limits, or helps your potential to move up to a senior IT management position to things like CTO, i.e $$.
I'm 26, in my 1st year (for the past year and a half) as an IT student at university, and no work experience at all. I study part time because I find the course so challenging, and I seriously doubt that I will have a degree before I turn 30. However, I've got a Certificate 2, 3, and Diploma in Horticulture, but I'm really not interested in that area of work anymore.
How you doing now man
My experience is personal and hands on. Not sure how id write a résumé for that
I dont have any degree or certification. I have been working as PC and network tech for over 4 years now. It depends where your going to work. Some ask for certs and degrees. I do everything there is in IT except software development. There are no tier levels where i work. We get called to do something we have no knowledge about but we adapt and learn! I hate that we have to renew A+ every few years which is BS! If i can get some degrees or my A+ my pay will boost up!
I want to get my bachelors in Information Technology but I’m not sure if I’m suited for it? Is it a good field? What careers would be open to me with that degree? What skills and subjects should I be good at in order to get this degree and peruse this field?
each IT job is requirement "Experience" and that’s why I'm working (Part-Time) with people who have experience at least for 10 years in IT.
Yeah but experience is pretty easy to get now a days in I.T. It just takes a lot of dedication and the ability to bounce back up after hearing "NO" a lot.
Internships, volunteer work, and persistence. I don't want to hear anyone say they can't get experience if they haven't called every single business in a 50 mile radius of them and asked them if they have an internship available or need some volunteer work because you are trying to get experience to get into the field. Sometimes it takes one of the most valuable resources in the world to make better things happen for yourself...TIME. Sacrifice your own time to do these things and make it all happen.
This doesn't exactly all pertain to you Dark Insanity, just a general thought that came out because a lot of people seem to make comments about experience.
thx for ur respond bro but i didn’t say "i can’t get experience or it’s hard to get" what i mean it’s better to get experience before you work in any IT job so that’s will make you ready for any IT envirment.
Enlisting and gonna do IT in the army, and get my certifications and bachelors in the military
I was signed up for IT classes and I’m days from starting. I feel like I’m better off teaching myself day by day, I’m already 10 years into a career I’m trying to get out of but not trying to lose the job while looking for one.
I will get my degree soon, I don't have much experience, how can I get it ?
Experience experience experience... love the setup and background btw....
Yes, Yes, Yes. Thank you very much!
what is diffrence beween bachelor of information technology and bachelor of information tecnology digital media
This is my problem. So many different degrees for different areas. This vid sucked
Hello! Great video! I am fixing to go back to school for a bachelors. I am confused on which route to take either Computer Science or IT with Web development. I think I might go the route of BS in IT so i can finish faster and continue to teach myself code after school. I am already teaching myself python. All of my research basically say the same thing that your degree helps you get in the door. What really sets you apart is your skill set.
Hi can u help me with my education pls.i really need some advice .I scared that I will choose the wrong subjeCt in college and ruined all my degree pathway .Can u give me advice.im taking Ausmat (Australian matriculation program ) what subject should I take to reach infomation techNology , e-commerce and business field.pls help me my deadline of choosing subject is getting closer.pls
The subject in this program are

Help me choose 5 in order to persuade those career I listed up there pls
Hi man 4 years later, how did that workout. I'm kinda going with the same route so I'm curious what happened
How can you ask people to start out as help desk making little money
The Technical “college” I’m going to has a requirement for an EXTERNSHIP! Yes the knowledge is needed yes it’s like $40k to go to the school but you know what I rather learn from a human and not a screen! Sure you can learn on the job but my short experience with that was terrible I got treated like shit! Yea sure I’m young like 18 but the thing is since I’m young I just get pushed to the side and forgotten which is why I just quit my job making $30k a year and the career was shipped to China for it so 🤷🏻♂️. Everyone is different everyone learns different but from my experience as someone that went to a free Technical School during high School all they do is push you to the side to get money from the state so if you’re going to go to school in my opinion go to a FOR PROFIT ONE
For profit schools have very low roi and are usually not a good idea
how can I get into IT without any certificate or experience?
Md Miah Pray God first, look for service desk, help desk, or technical support related positions at careers websites for companies you would like to work for, learn a lot from UA-cam, Wikipedia, TechTarget.com, all computer related websites, free tutorials, free courses, and go for interviews and meditate about what went wrong in case you don't get the job and fix it and try it again once you're aware of your failures and gaps in knowledge, and try again until you make it. ;)
You can't really
Update: I have been working in IT for two years now and got 2 promotions.
@@boredengineer403 how did you do it? Get your first job i mean
@@passportbro904 you can but it's better to get a university degree. But it's possible to get a job with no degrees. You will need the skills and want to learn all the time is what they are mostly looking for.
What you’re saying is my associates degree in nursing is going to get me a help desk job? Tf? Makes literally no sense feel like a bachelor in it is going to get me a help desk job and will make it easier for me to progress up the ranks
Its a struggle but rewarding way to get a job.
Listening to the video and thought “I need this guy” and slammed the subscribe button
Help please I'm confused is Information Technology or computer Engineering better
Ragnar Lothbrok computer engineering for sure
Good question
I'm studying IT but the word 'woman in tech' are spreading like crazy. May i know what yoy think about that?
You*
We have 6 women working in the I.T. department at my current job. I think it's amazing and I wish there were more women in the field. It's not just a mans job.
I'd tell a woman all the same things as a man. Know your stuff, study, keep learning, and never give up. Most importantly never give up.
Thank you for this video this really helped a lot
I am studying computer science but i want to be a system administrator or systems analyst and have read that an IT degree helps more getting those jobs. if I can get an associates degree and start getting experience working in the IT field while finishing my bachelors then I rather change majors. I love reading about new technology ,building and upgrading pcs but I wanr to keep learning more about technology
I was also studying computer science but, I got to a point where I knew it was not for me. After realizing I was focusing more on the money, then I switched over to IT. Thankfully a University near me will allow me to get a bachelors degree in IT and administration with a specialization in cybersecurity, administration, or IT.
Esteban Rojas Good luck to you, how are the classes so far? is it just learning about computers or are business classes also required?
So far the classes are going well. We mostly learn about computers but one administration class is required; if you specialize in administration its about six classes.
Esteban Rojas how is the IT going now after 2 years?
What if I end up getting an IT degree with semester to 1 year certifications in multiple fields in computers. I am in College as a first year working on my Associates to then transfer to a 4 year institute and I am looking to get a Internship at IBM or the Hospital or somewhere else which is Hit or miss in my area.
Always giving good advice.
Thank you James! Great to see you commenting! I hope all is well!
Yeah everything i already knew confirmed . Thanks , i needed to hear it, but like does getting a ccna help you circumvent help desk?
If I want to be a system architect, what course should I study
That’s true. I got hired based on experience
Hey I have a Question for you if you don't. For someone like that wants to get involved how can I started off with Experience in the IT Field?
so universities have major called IT ? IT and Computer science degree
I needed to hear this. I've changed my Associates from cyber sec, to software programming, now im looking at a software dev bachelors from WGU. I've been freaking out cause I don't want to pick the wrong thing. My dad knows everything about everything in the IT world and just started his own cybersec comp. He wants pen testers , and I'd love to do that, but i also want to design apps and such. Is learning how to create programs is a good segue into learning ethical hacking/pentesting? Should i just get the degree and learn the basics and wing it?
Also at WGU for Information Technology. Same. The jobs that come up for my degree on indeed are kinda low end.
@@charlievetta1385 how's it going for you? Thinking of starting that degree at wgu soon
degree without experience or certificate with experience without high school diploma??
Completely depends on what type of job it is you're going for, who the company is(what their requirements are), and how well you interview.
I would almost always take the person with experience unless the person with the degree is knowledgeable and is eager to learn.
Dude said 10years is that real ?
can you be a web designer with information technology degree
Ildi Bulluti it’s very important if you want a career like that
It’s getting a masters degree in it worth it if I don’t have a bachelors?
??
I was thinking of Purdue global for i.t. Would it be worth it or should I go to a traditional college
This is pretty unrelated, but I️ have depression, ocd, and mild Adult Add. I️ know that you said that you have bipolar disorder, and I️ was just curious how you manage good and bad days. As someone who has depression, I️ beat myself up quite a lot for minor, stupid mistakes while working. It’s not good to victimize yourself, but I’ve worked in male-dominated fields in the blue-collar sector where there was a weird culture. It’s always a pissing contest, and I️ don’t want to get back into that environment. I’m in the medical field and enjoy the culture, but I️ want to move into IT. How is the IT culture as a whole? How do you manage depression?
Also, as you’re an IOS user, you know that they screwed up the autocorrect....time for software update.
+Midwest Tech I've managed it well for years now. Everyone is different though, you know this and I know this.
I beat myself up many days starting out for minor stupid shit, and I still think about those things from time to time. Guess what i never did again though? Made one of those stupid minor mistakes!
Culture is going to be different everywhere. I've seen what you've described and i despise it. The best you can do is be a team player but make your stance very firm that you won't conform to their pissing contest.
I work in I.T. for a hospital. This is hands down the most amazing job I've had as far as co-workers and culture go. This may not be the same for every hospital, but most hospitals have a certain standard of behavior that all the staff meets in some way or another.
Coming back around to your first and last questions. Every day is different. I've learned to understand this. I can't control the future and I can't change the past. I can only work towards being a better 'ME'. I'm 33 now and would say for the last 6 or 7 years I've learned the signs of bad days and can generally overcome them, this is all mental training though which takes a lot of effort. Depression battles your thoughts and emotions and you have to literally stop yourself and think about the situations in front of you. I've had to train myself to fight back. It's not easy, but for a solid 13 years I was completely fucking miserable. For the last 6-7 I'm finally content and enjoying life.
I hope this helps.
I'm finishing up my bachelor's in Information Technology instead of computer science. 😐
Why is that a bad thing?
@@ManMadeMoon idk if it is yet. Database Administrator and Network Engineer seem to pay well.
@@charlievetta1385 I know I'm replying to a 2 year old comment but how is IT treating you? Would you do it again if you had the chance?
Hi I’m currently studying business administration but I’m doubting wether to keep it but I fear I won’t be able to enjoy it or switch to IT but I don’t have a clear sense on what work one can do in IT . So I was wondering bf if you can please make a video of all the different jobs an IT person does. If you have a video like that please let me know thanks
Hey I actually have a new video series I'm working on covering Job Titles and such coming out soon.
IT has endless possibilities though. You don't have to get yourself silo'd into anything.
I.T. Career Questions tysm for your help, I will definitely check out the video series once it comes out!
Seems like he did not like college. It does matter what your degree is. Thats why you don't apply to be a doctor with a IT degree.
It makes no difference what your degree is in.
You probably picked the worst analogy to use here. You know you CAN get a doctorate in information systems right?
Unless specifically noted on a job description that your degree MUST be in MIS or something similar, it makes no difference what your degree is in. You have a degree in Social Work? Awesome get relevant certifications and no one cares what your degree is in, just the fact that you have a degree qualifies you for most jobs.
I personally have worked with many people who have degrees in areas completely unrelated to I.T. whom are sys admins, network engineers, CISSO's, and at one point a director who had a degree in education of all things.
Ronnie Wong and Adam Gordon from ITProTV both have degrees in unrelated areas.
Here's the two things that matter the most once you have A degree (any degree) certifications and experience. Get those two things and you are golden.
College wasn't in the cards for me this is true. This has not slowed me down.
I am saying, this is from your experience. Telling others that their degrees don't matter is a opinion, not fact. So you can be a medical doctor with only a IT degree? That was my analogy.
It's not just my experience. This is a common factor in the I.T. industry. Your degree does not matter. It's a piece of paper that qualifies you for jobs. I've worked in this field for 17 years an actual I.T. degree used to mean a lot more and hold more of a value than it does today. I'm not saying your I.T. degree is useless, I'm saying for people who are looking to get into the I.T. field who already hold a degree no matter what that degree is in you are qualified for most I.T. jobs for the pure fact you have that piece if paper that says associates or bachelor's. The certifications and experience are the things that will help you land the roles you want.
Get a degree in philosophy and go get a CCNA. You'll get hired in I.T. Get a degree in marketing and go get a MCSE. You'll get hired. The type of degree makes no difference unless it is specified in the job description as I stated before.
As far as your doctor comment goes. These are two completely different fields of expertise. One holds a greater value on your specific form of education while the other doesn't really care provided you have certifications and or experience.
This is the world we live in. I'm sorry that this bothers you.
If you want to work in I.T. get whatever 2 or 4 year degree your heart desires and start adding I.T. certifications to your toolbox. Congrats you are now qualified to work in I.T.
If you're that upset about degrees you must really be bothered by the people who have no degree at all and work in the I.T. field who hold the same jobs as people with degrees.
Our physicians liaison who is also a systems analyst has a bachelors in education.
I’m about to graduate with BAAS information technology but I have been really stress because I keep getting rejected from all the internship I applied 😭 I won’t say I’m good with coding but I do enjoy making network diagram and making proposal for business. Any recommendations on what field I could go for in IT coz I know for a fact I don’t wanna be software engineer
Did you figure it out cuz I’m in the same situation 😭
@@kayroshi6168 I haven’t but I feel like BA would be perfect role for me.
Hello, I am currently 25 and I decided to obtain an Associates in Information Systems at a community college in southern California , is IS the same as IT? and also do you think that 25 is too old to start a career in technology?
Computer information systems is a very similar degree to computer information technology and you should be able to get just about all the same jobs. I am also 25 and just started last semester I don’t think your ever to old to get a better education I’m even keeping a 4.0 gpa at this moment
Hey I just graduated this May with a CIS degree with some experience working for a couple of companies during university and I recently got hired as a starting IT Network Admin.
:RE congrats
so I could get a IT job with a HR degree?
🤔
Im a 1st year undergrad currently studying HR but im gonna switch to IT next year
@@TheBlader2720 what did you end up doing
@@JanTheGamerr switched IT management and now in my final year
Does the GPA matters?
Only if you're going to grad school or going into academics. People in IT list their certifications, not their GPA.
It will never matter for a job.
GPA matters for your first job out of college if you don't have experience. Once you get your first job and experience there is absolutely no need for it.
@@Itcareerquestions I've heard both sides of the story from hiring managers for recent graduates, a majority of which say it is not taken into consideration. On the topic of internships, a would say a good chunk of them have a requirement of 2.5 - 3.3 GPA requirement.
What about a tech degreee ?
What about it?
This is a lie . They care about degrees
What experience is required for help desk?
braulio valerio I would say there in the USA you might need more than a high school degree but here in Costa Rica we can get it with just that, no university degree, no certification, because I got a service desk position at HP back in 2010 without any related experience, which is great and I think just helped by God's hand I could get it. ;)
I am currently working on a 2 year degree in computer information technology. I have worked full time in a manufacturing facility for a little over 5 years and I’m thinking of switching to part time what would be a good job to get some experience while going to school?
Anything that will take you to be honest.
I need a job but I need experience in the said field to land a job. I kind of feel like this catch 22 situation is set up intentionally by corporate assholes trying to screw people over because they would much rather employ cheap third world labor,
👍🏼
gender studies degree xd
Amazing video you dont even describe one job
