    Wow, thank you for sharing your IT journey! This was a great informative video, and I appreciated how you shared your job responsibilities (including which programs/systems you would use) as well as what you learned while you were in that position. You truly had a journey thus far and it is inspiring ^^

      You're very welcome! I'm glad you liked the video. Yes I really wanted to be transparent and informative on all of my videos and it also helps the audience on what to expect in this field so they would also have an idea what they could learn and if IT is for them. Yes I made it this far but I still have a long way to go. I am planning to specialize in an area one day and become an engineer.

Yes also practicing on home labs helps you practice your skills and also something you can showcase on your resume and interview. Goodluck on your journey!

    Congratulations! - My mother put in 40 years for the Mouse. You are set! Your VLSM video has inspired me to purchase a Cisco Ws-c2940-8tt-s Catalyst 8port 10/100 1port 10/100/1000 Ethernet Switch. I struggled for a bit taking Local Area Networks at Valencia’s West Campus. The primary reason was taking the course before College Algebra. Now everything explained in the video makes VLSM seem quite simple, especially after taking Spreadsheet Applications. I am focused on IoT and have some new devices to tinker with. Working 40 Hr./wk and College Parttime followed by IoT studies needs some decompression time - so I started a draft UA-cam channel and started throwing ideas out there, cautiously. Orchids are an attention grabber - so I may spend more time on that subject. I would be honored if you took a look at the really short video. The video is on my practice channel. *This Channel
