- Hello anyone!
Welcome to my new channel! I'll be talking about what it's really like to be a network administrator and also documenting my journey into retirement.
There's not going to be anything fancy about this channel, no fancy graphics, intros or outros, no Amazon affiliate links, no special content for Patreon subscribers. Just a regular guy talking about regular stuff. We'll talk tech, problems, politics, and most definitely religion. It's just really my take on work and life.
Be civil in your comments. Uncivil comments will be deleted without remorse. I decide what is civil. Slightly ruthless I know but hey, it is my channel after all.
I came in wondering what a network admin did, and ended up praising God. I’ve just started my IT career but it was definitely God that open all the doors for me. God bless brother!
Thanks for sharing that! When God opens the doors then good things follow. There will be times you wonder why you are even in this field but try to do everything as if you were doing it for God. God bless!
Wtf is network and systems administration part of computer science or IT?
@@naluminoglen2680 IT.
I work as an application analyst for Epic as a Beaker analyst. I absolutely despise it and studying for my comptia net+ to switch to pure IT pray for me if you don’t mind.
@@EchoLR1
How's life now?
Thank you for sharing your story/testimony. I’m 41 years old and trying to get my degree in computer science and if God willing I’m interested in a netwowking job. I pray that I could finish school. Thank you again. God bless you and your family.
Thank you! I hope God provides you the direction you need.
You got this study study study.
I know I'm a year late but you honestly don't need a CS degree. If you have the Sec+ cert and a Secret/TS/SCI clearance you're golden!
That's so inspiring and godspeed. hope you fulfill your dream pretty soon
@@alexandermorse1306 what about Comptia+ / C++?
Been in IT Support position for 7 months now and just started getting mentored by our Network Admin just this week. Pretty excited! Look forward to binge watching all your videos! Thanks Scott!
Fantastic! I wish there was someone in my organization that I could mentor and take my place when I retire. Happy for you! God bless!
Thank You for this! This video is pure inspiration! I work on the shop floor of a manufacturing plant and I'm going to school part time at my community college for IT with an emphasis in networking. I will visit your channel often for inspiration to get through those dog days. God Bless You!
Glad it was helpful! If God does not let the sparrows starve how much more will He feed those who love Him? Best of God's providence in your career. God bless!
Glad I found this channel, man of God, much respect to you, hope you prosper with everything you do.
You have no idea how nice it is to see a brother in tech. I was beginning to think I would be the only one. God is good brother, thank you for sharing.
Yes we are out here. Keep the faith! Thanks for watching!
thank you im in my 20's who just left from the military and looking into computer networking, this is a great video just straight up what it is. definitely inspired me more
Awesome! Wish you all the best and God bless.
Awesome! I wanted to know what a network admin does doing some research and I thank God I came across this video. Great story, I too have been praying for a job and leaving it to God to do his will. This video really gave me some encouragement, thank you!
This video was so much more than I expected. Thank you for sharing!
Wonderful, thanks for following along!

Welcome aboard! Glad I could help motivate you. Trust me, if I can do it, anyone can. God bless!

Loved the video. I am also a Network Administrator and I have called on our savior many a day through my journey. Keep up the good work.
Congratulations. I have been praying an opportunity finds me as well. Thanks for the hope!
With God, all things are possible.
Much appreciated I am currently in school for my degree in cybersecurity but hearing real stories of the employment makes me feel better.

Just stumbled across this video an absolutely love it. Informative an I loved hearing you're story!
Glad you enjoyed it! God bless!
I've just stumbled across this video. I am inspired. I don't expect you to understand my circumstances but for someone who has prayed for many of the same things this has given me hope. God bless.
That's wonderful to hear! I'm so glad I was able to encourage you even if in some small way. God has you. Never doubt that for a second. God bless!
Thanks for sharing your stories and these rooms. There's many many of us working the back rooms of your building and we are rarely noticed.
So true! It's the people behind the scenes of most businesses that make those business work. God bless!
Almost half way through Network Admin/security degree at my college and had to cut the video short to say, God bless you! Inspiring and now going to watch the rest. Thank you.
Also to add, I was a construction worker for many years. I'm 49 now going to school. My wife, children and I are active with our church and until Covid-19 hit, my wife and I were part of the worship team. Curious, I searched for a Network Admin video and first pick was yours. It is the work of God. Very inspirational, Thank you again!
Thanks for sharing! God bless you in your studies and in your future career!
Keep at it. God is on the move!
Thanks, Scott! Appreciate you
Thank you so much, you deserve millions × millions of respect for all that you do🙏
Thank you, though, I only want God's approval. God bless!
Thanks for the video! Really enjoyed it and love being around networking equipment to provide help to those who accomplish the business needs.
Awesome! Thanks for checking in.
Thanks for sharing with us your thoughts,encouragement of joy/historical words. And a little bit on the network server.
Glad you enjoyed it! Faith and encouragement some some of the most useful tools I have found. God bless!
Powerful testimony. Thank you, Brother.
Glad you enjoyed it. God is first and foremost in my life. Well, I try to live that way anyway.
I do find it interesting. Thank you so much for the perspective!
Glad you enjoyed it! Gd bless!
Not what I was looking for but glad I stumbled upon your story. Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it! God bless!
Hey! Thanks I am a college student trying to get into this career, it’s nice to see what life would be like in the work field
Wonderful, thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing your story. God will make it all work. I currently have two interviews for networking administrator. Each day I prayed and read scripture.God has moved the interviewer call me. So it leads to another interview this week. God works. You have inspired me with your testimony
Wonderful! No matter what, keep praying for God's will in your life. Sometimes what we want isn't what He wants and it's hard to reconcile the two. However, I have found that HE is always right. God bless!
Thanks for sharing your perspective!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is really inspiring, sir. 🥺 Thank you for sharing your testimony!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you sharing your story. I am just about to start my career. it was helpful. God Bless you.
Best of God's Providence to you! Thanks for following along.
Your testimony is great and has given me hope..
There is always hope. Thanks for watching and God bless!
Thank you for this video!
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching and God bless!
I been a IT consultant for over 20 years .. so I know the job of of a Admin is extremely underappreciated , and clients expect us to get jobs done fast ..and it's rarely that simple. .. nice channel , look forward to your uploads . All best buddy
I always tell my coworkers that if they don't hear about me then I'm doing my job correctly. Thanks for watching and God bless.
do you have an idea why is that tho ?
@@HiPh0Plover1 hahahaha me too
I'm really happy for you sir , thank you for sharing your experience
Thank you! God bless!
Thank you for your video.
Thanks for sharing your story. God will always take care of us.
Absolutely! God bless and thanks for watching.
Man.....this is the first video I saw when youtubing network administrator. I'm attending classes this fall for IT and wasn't quite sure which discipline to focus on. Thanks for the video.
Best of luck in your studies. God bless!
So great to hear how God provided for you throughout your career (and your employer too). I’m also a devout follower of Jesus with a passion for networking and degree in IT. Thanks for sharing your background!
The most amazing thing about starting this channel is finding so many Christian brothers (and a few sisters) that are in the field of IT. It's really been an encouragement to me. Thanks for watching and God bless!
Absolute legend. Inspirational video! God bless :)
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching and God bless!
Just stumbled across your YT channel just wanna say the start of it is what gets me excited about doing networking. Don't get me wrong Idk what I'm doing but trying to learn so I can get into this line of work once i have my bachelor's
It's a fun field to be in. While you're still studying, be sure to brush up on all things security. THAT is the future. Best of luck and God bless!
Thank you for this, Sir. I'm incoming 3rd year college this incoming school year and taking Network Ad. I feel nervous and scared at the same time because of this video, I feel motivated. God bless you! 🤗
You can do it! Any job can seem difficult or even impossible... until you actually do it and make it possible. Just remember, the Internet is your library. You will not run into a problem that no one has ever seen before. 9 times out of 10 someone has already found and solved the problem. You just have to look for that solution. God bless!
Thank you for this video. I am starting my career and this is really helpful.
Glad it was helpful! God bless!
I'm prepping for a job interview as a net admin and I really appreciate you showing what the job is like and a realistic view of what you do.
Wishing you the best of luck on your job interview. Just be yourself. God bless!
I watch your videos in the morning while waiting for my work day to start. :) (help desk supervisor)
Thank you very much for this.
You're very welcome!
Thank you for sharing , im currently studying networks administration and security and i need every information i could get about the job
Welcome aboard. Hopefully you'll get an idea of what the job entails.
Thank you for this video it was not a waste of time in fact it was very encouraging.
Thank you for that and thanks for watching! God bless!
Well I know it was the Lord that had me watch your video brother! I am a 62 year old security guard at Martin Army Hospital at Fort Benning, GA. I am in grad school to get a degree in Information Systems Management. I took 2 courses so far and did very well. I plan on taking Googles' IT Professional Certification program later this month. After retiring from the Army and the local police dept, I really wanted to get back into something more technical and analytical. So the Lord led me to information technology in Oct 2019! So, I know that I am on the right track and watching your video brought a tear to my eyes because of Gods' confirmation on His choice for me; even at my age! Never too old for God! So thank you for your ministry in technology!
May the Lord bless your new career!
Thank you Scott!
How did it go?
Update?
Thank you for doing this video and your story!
You are so welcome! God bless!
I find it interesting sir, please continue your videos. I will be definitely watching those. Regards Giri
So nice of you, thanks for watching! God bless!
Got my CCNA exam tomorrow and just came across your channel! This is something that I want to do and although I got no experience in IT at all I hope I'll find a job in networking! Thanks for the video!
Hope you exam went well and wish you the best of luck in your new career. God bless!
@@NetworkAdminLife actually I failed it and it was my 2nd attempt... but I’m not giving up... just need to revise the topics I know I struggle with.. got a big support from my family and friends!
@@FlavourEd88 dude, I just passed a few days ago. It took me two tries and a year of studying. I know exactly what you need to do. Trust me. Go get Boson. Memorize Boson labs. Then, watch Jeremy's free CCNA course on you tube, then go get the official cert guides, Vol1 and 2. If you know all 3 of those like the back of your hand, you will pass. I just did it. Good luck.
Thanks for this channel Sir, have a great day!
Thanks, you too! God bless!
I work at Lockheed Martin Sunnyvale as a Cable Tech, love it and learned so much. But I plan to a advance my career towards a more technical side. Great work, much respect to you.
Holy cow, Lockheed Martin is still in Sunnyvale?? Last time I drove through I didn't even recognize the place. I could still find Bldg 157, 153, and 182 where I spent most of my time when I worked there. Some of the other places I worked when I was in SSD and the black programs... couldn't find 'em. God bless!
@@NetworkAdminLife Yup! Still around but slowly shrinking they are selling the property little by little. But it's funny because most of my work is in 157 haha. Small world. Unfortunately there are rumors about the whole property being sold and the Santa Cruz/Palo Alto location will be remaining.
I found this interesting. Going to be watching more of your content
Welcome aboard! God bless.
I am an aspiring network admin, I'm going to college for network admin and security management. I'm currently working at a helpdesk, and I have been here for 5 months. I really enjoyed your video. Praise God
I wish you the best of God's Providence in your career. Security management is what I believe to be the wave of the future. God bless!
Thanks for the video!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching and God bless!
Very insightful
I’m 33 and looking at starting a career in Information Technology and networking.
I have a passion for Computers and would love this type of work
Same here. Also 33 and I've been working for directv doing installs and think this looks like something I could transition into
It can be both challenging and rewarding. Think of it like earning a pilot's license. There is a lot of study and work up front but in the end it's worth it. I miss owning an airplane but I don't miss the maintenance costs! I'll just keep renting! God bless!
Go for it!
do you have previous experience in this field?
Good luck with your retirement!!! Just came across your video keep it coming!
Thank you! Will do! God bless!
@@NetworkAdminLife I'm enjoying your video's alot!!!
King David said he never seen the righteous begging for bread. God bless you and I'm praying my career path goes similar to yours
You got this! God will never let a man who loves Him go hungry. He's never made me rich but He has given me more than I needed. "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be added unto you." God bless and may His Providence supply your needs and more.
@@NetworkAdminLife hallelujah brothers ❤️
I'm in my final year of btech in electronics and communication and I'm also trying to get into network administration....Jesus is good all the time and all the time Jesus is good....
I got my job in a pretty similar way and my friend built a Lancair. Friend moved to Utah to live in a residential airport and my faith got hammered out of me by working for a church for far too long and seeing too much "inside baseball". But I admire those that can keep it. You sound like someone I would enjoy hanging with. Hope all has turned out as you hoped it would.
I was a deacon in my last church so I know all too well what you mean about inside baseball. I just try to remember what Steve Brown of Reformed Theological Seminary said, "If you can't find something wrong with your church, then you ain't paying attention!" Keep the faith and thanks for watching. If I don't see you in this life I'll see you in the next. God bless!
Fellow Windows NT MCSE here. I've been working in computer networking for about 20 years now. I never upgraded my MCSE and never got any more certs. I'm in the process of finally getting some updated certs because we're getting ready to leave California.
Your story about your wife saying why not apply to that job. My wife did something similar. We were driving and she looked at this random building and said, "why don't you try to get a job there?" I've been working here for 14 years now. :P
Thank you for sharing your story, that was pretty awesome. I was working in UAE as IT Admin and planning to work as Network support, I really wanted to know more about Networking. Hope you can share me also the knowledge you have, and I know you are a good person and you won't hesitate to share your skills. Thanks again and God Bless.
Thank you for your kind words. I don't know much but what I do know, I'll share. I'm the result of 30 years of on the job training. So, you get what you pay for! God bless.
Loved it thank you sir !!
Thank you!
Glad to find your channel Scott! I am enjoying learning about you, your work, experiences and faith. I am slowly trying to learning about networking and servers & VoIP to hopefully implement it into my local church that I attend. If you don't mind, I may even reach out to you on certain things. Thank you in advance, and keep up the great work!
Good deal. Glad to have you along. I don't know what help I can be but if I can help, I will. God bless.
Enjoyed this a lot, God bless!!
Thank you! You too!
Nice rack Scott. Cabling looks great. I Like the video. Trying to become a sys admin myself.
Enjoyed your video. .I’m currently a Network Technician.
Prior worked in a Help Desk Support Role. End goals is to be eventually get a Network Administrator role or Engineer
Keep after it. If I can do it anyone can! God bless!
Thank you for sharing your story sir
Thanks for watching!
I enjoyed watching your video and hearing about your experiences and faith. It’s great to hear how Jesus has worked in your life. Soon I’ll be starting school and my goal is to become a network admin too. God Bless
I hope God richly blesses you in your studies.
I'm currently in school. are you a network admin yet?
Thank you!
Thanks for recording your Job 🙂 just what I needed to see. Praise Jesus 🙏
You are so welcome! God bless!
Pro youtuber. Cool stuff. Thanks for the charisma coach!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for your wonderful message. I know God works in our life in ways we cannot even imagine. You have inspired me to continue my journey knowing that Jesus will lay down the path for my future.
You are so welcome! Yes God has ordained your place in this world long before He even laid the foundations of the universe. You can trust that He will guide you along your journey. It may not feel like it at times, He wants us to learn to trust in him. Strike out in faith and once you arrive, you will see the twists and turns in the road where God guided (and protected) you. God bless!
Thank you for this
You're welcome. God bless!
Thank you :)
Godbless you you are such a gift from the God
Can you please show us how you organized those cables perfectly and thank you
Thank you that's very kind of you to say. Check through my videos I do believe I talked about it. Basically I just mount my switches between the patch panels and then use short 1 foot cables from the patch panel to the switch. The end result is what you see in the video. God bless!
thanks for the video, I am studying to be a network admin and hopefully a network engineer
Awesome! Best of luck in your studies!
I’m really interested in becoming a network admin or analyst so this is very informative, ty!
Welcome aboard! I hope you find something of use in the videos.
Glad finally found your channel.
Glad to have you here! God bless!
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL!!
Thanks for watching. God bless!
Thanks for this video. I started in Electrical/Computer Engineering and Hated it. I left and did another profession for 16 years ( LEO ). Now I'm about 4 classes away from my IT Degree. Thanks for telling your journey. I hope I can transition soon..
Yeah, I wasn't cut out to be an electronic engineer either. But I'm SURE not cut out to be a cop! Best of luck on the career change. God bless!
Well... I'm a year late but man this looks dope! I really appreciate you sharing this as I am currently looking to move up in IT from the help desk position. Hopefully I can pick up some cool tricks from your vids
Glad to have you along! God bless!
Yes and Amen bro
Just found your channel today. Really enjoyed this first video and subscribed. I'm a retired police officer and am now an Information Systems Tech for a small community college.
Thank you for the subscription and most of all thank you for your service! Hope you enjoy the channel. God bless!
@@NetworkAdminLife I meant to say you sound a lot like me in that you hope this job is your "last" job. I feel the same way about my current position. I'm so happy there and couldn't have asked for a better situation. Coulda made more money elsewhere but I went to the place I felt I belonged. Also, I'm not a pilot but love to fly. Been up in a 172 several times and got to take the controls. So much fun!
@@KenPryor Yep, I totally get it. And yes, flying is my release. Look for past airborne updates on my channel and more will be coming in the future!
Very inspiring for juniors
Thank you and thanks for watching! God bless!
I want to be a future network Administrator. It was great hearing your experience from you.
Glad you enjoyed it. Best of luck in your education and training. God bless!
Hey man, you rock! Good story.
I think God rocks more than me but thank you!
Just found your channel Scott; love hearing your story. Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior as well. I'm 57, and just graduated with a two-year degree in IT as a career change from many years as a printer and a truck driver. Looking for my first job, and trying to learn all I can. Looks like the hospital has a lot going on. While I don't live around there now, I was born near Fresno. Lived for a few years as a youngster in Kingsburg. Glad you built this channel!
Glad you're enjoying it and congratulations on getting out of Fresno! JUST. KIDDING! LOL! Best of luck in your new career and God bless!
I was thinking of going into this field. I'm grateful that you shared this information. Why so many wires/cables?
Each wire corresponds to a device on the "wired" network. We have thousands of devices on our network where I work. This includes the wireless access points which can have 30 or 40 wireless clients attached to them. Luckily you don't have to know what each wire does all the time. Label the ports and label the wires and then it's easy to figure out from there. Best of luck on your decision!
Amen great story sir.. good luck
Thanks for watching!
Just found this channel, I'm in the same timeline so it's great that I can relate. 4 years ago... I wonder if you have retired by now.
Nope, still here. Just another run-of-the-mill network administrator doing my best at both work and hanging on Christ's every word. God bless!
Great video! Just subscribed. God bless!
Welcome aboard!
Good stuff Scott.
Thanks big Z.
nice video god bless you!
Thank you! God bless!
Thanks for this
You're welcome! God bless!
God is indeed good! Praise the lord!
It is interesting because to be honest I am scared in going into the work place. I am just a college student who is taking up IT mostly about NA. So I am trying to watch for more videos about what to look forward in the future.
Don't let it frighten you. Just study, understand what you are learning, and then take every day, every hour one at a time. Solve one problem at a time. Best of luck and God bless!
I like the way you and your wife were prayerful... In deed when you put God's first everything else He will take care of it. Cograturations for that much experience I envy you. Am a prayerful too and I trust and beleve in God that He will give me what I want. I really admire to be a network admin and I cant wait to do my certification..
I wish you the best of God's Providence in your career.
Thanks for sharing. I'm an aspiring Network Engineer and trying to cross over from web development. God is good.
Amen! Best of luck with your job change and God bless!
