    I work in IT. This is what I do. First thing first. Daily checklist. Make sure files are where files need to be and backed up. Make sure things are running smoothly. Update things on the daily. Answer tickets which vary. We do everything from computers to laptops to cellphones desk phones industrial printers office printers door security and scan guns just to name a few. On average I have a bout 3 calls and 5 tickets per hr. Some are simple solutions others requires research and getting back with the ticketor. Tickets are priority. But on top of that you also have small and big projects like for example setting a new employee starting in a week or updating a system or things like that. I thought IT would be nerdy and boring but in fact it is very interesting and it feels great to help others out make sure your company runs smoothly. It is NEVER boring and you are always learning. Just my take.

    I really enjoy IT. I have my Associates in Cybersecurity and going for my Bachelors in IT with a focus in Cybersecurity. I have an interview tomorrow for an IT Specialist position (tier 1/tier 2 helpdesk) and I’m so nervous because I don’t have a lot of technical experience. I only have what I’ve done in school and the small things I do at home on my own devices.

    Computers and tech in general has always been a very key part of my life. Watching this video and understanding more about what a day to day experience in IT is like is extremely insightful as I gear up to enter this work environment. Being able to apply my love for tech into a job is what is getting me through my Bachelor's and is motivating me to get my certifications. Seeing this video really helped me to visualize what it is that I am to really look forward to, thank you!

      ROFL, this is IT. you do different stuff everyday. Asking, "What is the IT part?" is a useless question. that's like asking a doctor to show you the medicine part... What do you want to see? him diagnosing a patient or performing open heart surgery? these are very different things that take years to learn.
      At least 50% of IT issues are PEBKAC and are more emotional support than anything.. IT work can be anything from managing group policies, managing exchange, Working with Power shell, Debugging error codes, providing analytics to other teams, managing AD profiles, setting routes on a switch, establishing VLANs, deploying servers, Managing vendor relations, Running SCRUM Sprints, creating images. saying , 'Do IT' is completely inane..

      You sit at a computer, answer the phones, reply to tickets which is more sitting at a computer, answer emails which is more sitting at a computer, and then if you have to install new software/hardware on the staff's computers, you get off your own computer and walk to the staff's computer and sit there for a bit. It's a lot of computer work. Do you like sitting? and talking on the phone? and helping people figure out their computer? It's not glamourous.

    Thanks for the awesome videos, I really appreciate it! This has helped me a lot as I am going for my first day as a intern in entry level help desk in the next two weeks. I barely got any hands-on experience from my college that I'm getting a bachelor for admin I.T. management with no certifications, book smart is totally different than getting real hands-on experience.
    Thankfully there are UA-cam videos and people like you that share their knowledge and experiences. Self teaching yourself is important, you can create your own I.T. lab as a beginner to learn from; there is free virtualization for different operating systems such as different versions of Windows, MacOS, and Linux you can use as admin to mess around with and learn depending on the work environment that is required. Through this, I was able to learn administrative tools like what Zach was talking about and I can guarantee that during the I.T. support interviews, the employer will ask you questions about it!

      You can either do general tier 1-2 help desk stuff, networking, security, programming, and more, I'm not sure how much experience or knowledge that you have with IT, but I would highly suggest to try to obtain a internship while you're going through school, get close to professors as they have connections, so once you graduate or even before then, you can land a entry level position and strive to be better, nothing beats hands-on experience in the field.
      There are many great mentors such as Zach that can teach and guide you to do many great things in IT, but if you have any questions or concerns, i'm more than willing to help as well. Good luck to your career and studies!

    The normal sleep-wake cycle of a healthy adult is about 24 hours. Repeatedly staying up while exposing yourself to blue light at night, lengthens this cycle. This means that you’ll have a hard time getting sleep even when you don’t have screen time. It also means that you’ll find it difficult to stay asleep for long. The body, therefore, doesn’t get enough rest and this affects your productivity. Optometrist and Founder at Ocushield.

    I think I can gather that your field is healthcare IT. This is mine as well. I started out as a help desk tech, moved up to PC tech, then network tech, now I am a supervisor, and do a little bit of all three I mentioned plus deal with people. :-) No one day is like the other, but the days go by super fast and what you say is exactly true, in this field it is not out of the ordinary to find yourself doing a little bit of everything!

      I started as a Help Desk tech in 2004, and got my supervisor position in August 2016. Not the same healthcare system as I started out in. I am sure I could have moved faster, but where I live (rural South), I had to wait for the right opportunity to come along that wasn't so far away from home. I took my time though anyway, because I wanted to ensure by the time I got to where I am, I knew a little bit about every role that falls under me, because as I said, I wind up having to do a little bit of all of them.

    Thanks for sharing, great video. I am currently attending online school for IT and am doing everything on my Mac. you mentioned how most companies are windows based. Should I be concerned about the difference in OS? the field that I'm interested in is web applications development. Any info on that?

      I know this is an old comment, just wanted to give my input. I've been working in IT for 2 years (started as an IT trainee). Honestly the only way you can get experience with AD, Exchange, server work (RDP) ticketing, and just learning about computers in general is by doing the stuff, the only way you can do the stuff is by working in the industry. Get a level 1 job in IT (based off what this guy has described, I would say what he does is level 1, at least where I work). You will slowly become more familiar and comfortable with the systems.

      I graduated with both an IT and CS degree this past semester. For an intro IT class, you should expect it expose you to each field in IT such as hardware, networking, security, databases, project management and maybe some basic coding. At least, that's what my intro IT class covered. It wasn't difficult at all. You won't have to code much at all. Some of the common languages you might come across in your courses will be C++ or Java, some web languages (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP) and python/ruby. I'm sure you'll enjoy the courses. I definitely loved the classes I took.

      @WisdomofHal 5 років тому

      I'm sure there are companies who will hire VETS, also as a VET there's a merit system so you'll receive 5 points for being a honorable discharged VET. I would recommend going to school to have a formal degree, establish and work through imposter syndrome, you'll learn a lot working with your peers, and it'll help you get better jobs at better companies. Where you work is also important. Do you want a rigidly IT job with a no-name, short term company or do you want to work with a large company? Are you skills scale-able, can you traverse and go from administration to debugging, writing test scripts, testing software, utilizing an IDE to write code. Do you know any programming languages and security? It really depends on what value you can bring to the company you want to work for, always know your value. If you don't feel comfortable with your skills, then you will value yourself lower and they employer will automatically see this which can cost you a job. Always seek self-improvement and If there's a job you like but you know you are willing to learn what you need - on the job - express that to the employer and be confident. Good luck bro and go get it!
