74 year old white guy here... It was so interesting to watch your video. I didn’t get into the tech world until I was in my late 40’s. I ran into employment issues when the company I worked for went belly up and I couldn’t get anything close to the income I was used to. I had to take a help desk position and try to work myself into a better job from within a new company. I worked myself steadily into better and better positions until I retired at age 70. It’s daunting. It’s scary. But you and I know how rewarding it is to reach for the next level and the next and keep achieving that goal you thought might be too high for you. Your story seemed so much like mine it was almost like a flashback. I wish you the best in everything. Your family is blessed to have you as their example and leader.

Successful people have fear, successful people have doubts, and successful people have worries. They just don't let these feelings stop them.

Brooo...I almost shed a tear when you said that you have two kids. Your two years ago is my right now. Thank you for thinking of us and making this video. I don't know who else needed to hear it, but certainly did.

Thank you for this supportive video! I'm a 43 year old wife and mother and I too was affected by the pandemic. I had to leave my career in restaurants after 23 years and started considering the IT field as my next journey. I looked into a tech school but couldnt afford the $35K for one year. So! ? I studied for the A+ all in my own! I got a help desk job after passing the 1001, four months later passed the 1002 and now considering my next move! Hungry for growth! The opportunities are out there and your video has encouraged me to KEEP LEARNING! Thank you!

I’m 20 got 2 years of help desk under my belt and currently working as a technical support specialist at a internet and cable company. You definitely opened my mind to what I can do. Thank you !

[ErikFlores-fq]

God bless you for this video man. I’m a single dad in helpdesk and this motivated me to continue studying for my certs and not lose focus because it is possible to move up.

[mistaox]

The Help Desk is like the IT proving ground. Take the hazing, get your certs and get out! You will double your salary.. close to six figures without a college degree!!!
When you finally become an admin, learn monitoring and A SCRIPTING LANGUAGE. This will set you head and shoulders above the rest.

Dude! I very much appreciate this video. I've been with a company for 2 years as an IT Analyst and the best that, that company did for me was give me severe anxiety about stepping into my next role, ELSEWHERE. I know my stuff but the way the enterprise conducted things were absolutely abysmal. You've done more for me and my confidence in ten minutes than they have in 2 years! Thanks again.

Awesome video, 6 months help desk > 1 year support engineer > 2 years currently as a Cloud Sys Engineer. Now i'm looking to grow further.

Good stuff man! I've been in the IT world for two years too. As of now, I work as an IT Consultant (bascially helpdesk ticketing in a large office enviroment). I've held this job for a year thus far and its been a ride lol. The best part about the job is that we have a ton of projects that need to be done, everything from imaging multiple PCs at once, installing and moderating programs, installing servers etc.. But ever and since the pandemic struck, we've been doing it all from home. It's been an experience but I'm enjoying the ride now. I'm always egear to learn something new and expand my IT knowhow. Glad to see you out here doing the same, man. Keep up the good work!

[mudiagaoneil]

I really appreciate your update; very informative. Keep it up! I'm middle aged, and just about to take the first baby steps.

[jonnykryptonyte]

This video got me pumped! Been in a IT Support position for only 7 months and just started getting mentored by the Network Admin at my job. Based on what he has been telling me, seems like I won't be in the Support position for much longer!

Routing and switching is exactly what I'm being taught now. Hungry to learn the rest!

[Kilroy]

As a guy with no IT experience other than gaming and building my own computers I landed an entry level service desk position at a hospital. No college degree or any certifications either. Feels good working in the health care industry as well. Only been working there for a few months but I love talking to people and learning along the way. In a nerdy way it is a pretty fun job. Looking forward to this career path.

[jdejilla]

Your experience brightened up my path, Ser! I'm in a point where i must choose to be the Systems Administrator or Network Administrator. 7 years as a NOC Monitoring but still in doubt of my skills. You destroyed my focus on those text messages BUT in that particular 5secs, I just can't! Why?! @ 7:01-7:06 of your video is encrypted! Seriously, thank you for sharing, Ser! You deserve this! I bet you're already the Senior Network Admin today. KUDOS!

[sharonlawrence]

I understand about things being intimated. I started first Cybersecurity job a little after the pandemic. So, I am doing a lot of training from home. I'm doing stuff I've never done before, its harder to learn, when you physical train with someone. I thank God, I am also with a company, who understands too.

[vishalgreene]

When you mentioned you had two kids I instantly subscribed. Will follow your journey my brother, I have two myself and start my first help desk role (tier 1) in a week. Best of luck to you

[olerazzle]

Just passed my CCNA and am excited to get started in this field.

[Micksowagger]

Good shit! I've been in IT for 6 years in tech support, never took the initiative to level up or get certs, now thats changed, glad I found your channel.

[CHLOPATRAAA]

As a mom who works from home currently studying to transition into IT, this video was pretty ensuring. I failed the ITF+ by one question a couple weeks back, I took the ITF as a cert for myself to prove that yes I can start from ground 0 and work up. I want to get the A+, sec+ and network+ all this year if I can! See you at the top!

[eloso]

Just started my adventure into network admin degree. Always liked tech and could read or talk about tech for hours. Now I have classes that I can go on and on a about tech and everyone has interest. I'm excited to finish up my AA in network administration. I know my start will be at the bottom and I'm just excited to get in there and prove myself. Thank you for making this video. Felt real and honest about how you got to your position.
