Just because of his look I feel I should definitely hear what he says without questioning lol.

At timestamp 02:19, I agree. I am a high school dropout and 3x college dropout. I start at a help desk in December 2020, and in August 2021, I accepted an offer as an IT Systems Engineer. It can be done without experience and/or formal education if you have hustle and drive. Love the videos. My wife is German(she moved to the states a year ago), and when I watch your videos, she says she feels right at home LOL! Great content, great videos!

This is probably the most informative video I’ve found so far, THANK YOU!!! I just planned to switch my major over to IT and this video definitely helped because I had no idea where to start or which area to get into

[mindymesser]

I’m a person who wants to begin an IT career. Thank you!!

[georgekilgore]

This is an extremely informative bit of information. Thank you for your straight-forward, simple explanation of IT career paths. I've been searching for weeks to get the information I just got from your brief video.

[ahmedagionpc]

Almost finished my first year in IT and next year i have to choose 3 fields out of the 6 field to specialize in. This video really helped me

[arc_anya]

Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge about the topic... I'm a newbie so the IT world can feel overwhelming at times. And I'm also excited to dive deeper into your tutorials as I gather more experience...

Thank you for sharing this very helpful information. I am changing careers, working on A+ cert to gain ITSS experience then onto Networking path. But your recommendation to get sys infrastructure experience is sound advice. Your statement about Cloud technology is a logical transition from Networking. Good video!

[collin]

Thank you for the information! This video is gold!... I'm looking at switching my career to IT. But it's difficult taking the first step.. Feels like create a character, and you're busy selecting your main attributes haha. Don't want to end up with a weird character that doesn't make sense. Or waste energy in the opposite direction..

[edrianlariosapaez]

Sir please make a video for networking fundamentals, I will be glad to watch it !! thank you.

[joynwosu]

Thanks for the eye opener, I am a woman in my early 40's and I want to build a career in IT, I used to be in marketing in IT some years back. Hope I can pull through?

I know this is a bit of an old video, but just as a tip for some people that are thinking about going into Networking. In some countrys Comptia Network+ certification does not hold any weight. So in some countrys you should just go right for your CCNA, and if you are working in level 1 support role, tell your boss you are working towards a CCNA, most of the time they will like it and will try and help you get into a Networking role within the company when you have your CCNA

I like how you give hope to beginners ...you are a wonderful human being😩

[marson]

Thanks for the video. I’m interested in the IT field and looking for a way to get started. I’ve got no prior background in it so it was good to hear from someone who started from scratch! How was it getting your first IT role?

[anujavyas]

I am working as a support Analyst and planning to make a transition to advanced level Role.This video was very informative. 👍

[trava]

Coming from a guy that got his degree in network engineering and security, it’s very very difficult to get a good network or security entry level role. I applied to over 100 jobs, got a job for an MSP, which opened my eyes to many facets of IT. Now I’m working as a data center tech at a big company. Next step? Either network or sys admin
