These certificates definitely help- last year I got Comptia's Security+, Google's Professional IT support cert. and Google's Cybersecurity cert and I recently got a part time job training Ai models. I will definitely be doing this Google Ai cert as well. Thanks for the video

[QPtheGod]

Thank you Shane. I am an Economics major and I was thinking about also majoring in AI. I think I will take this cert to get a feel for AI before I commit to working towards the degree.

Just started this course, i like it. It's pretty rad to me

[michaeldickerson]

I have completed the Google Cybersecurity professional certificate Now I'm currently doing the Microsoft Cybersecurity professional certificate which I am half done. After I complete that I was going to do the Google AI Essentials course.

I loved it and i got the cert. And they just came out with other ai certificates

In 5:21 you say that there are few certificates which actually help in landing job, can you please mention it or make a video on that? I'll just follow on with the tier list video for now. great info btw!

[erlendgars]

Let's not give people hopes landing a data scientist job from taking a 9 hour crash course about AI. Making most of what you were talking about irrelevant. As you say towards the end, this is something nice to have on your resume, to show that you know how to utilize AI. To land a serious big job you need way more experience, so do not downplay universerties too much. Sure it is possible to get a job without a degree, but you still have to know what you are doing.

Shane Hummus, Subscribed because your videos always make me smile!

[alexanderbarron]

Got here early. I would love to come on to rep education. We need teachers and it is NOT the money pit Shane thinks it is. I would like to prove it as a teacher on track to 100k+ by 35. And I am late to the game. You could do it eariler. And I don't live in New York or Cali or DC. I'm in the deep south.

I noticed you've done a video on most if not all of the Google certificates on Coursera and I was curious which in your opinion is the overall best if you could only do one

[aaravvarma]

I wanted to ask for your opinion on the degrees I’m planning to undertake at the Georgia Institute of Technology. I will be double majoring in Aerospace Engineering and Computer Engineering. I am very passionate about aerospace, find hardware appealing, and am competent at programming, though it’s not my favorite aspect. Additionally, I plan to complete Purdue Global’s cybersecurity program before starting college. Do you think the Purdue Global program would be beneficial, or is it unnecessary?

Hey shane! Someone I know has been out of work for 6 months at 50 years old, with like 15 years of IT management and stuff.

Can you make a video about people not hiring older gentlemen for tech fields?

He's had tons of interviews but no offers.

He got a haircut and shaved to look younger and it didn't help either.

Is it ever possible that it would be better to leave out work experience to seem younger?

Please make a video about ageism in tech fields
Thanks 👍

[chrystoullaneophytou]

Shane, do you a Coursera discount like the one you had at the beginning of the year?

[rickb]

Dope...I'm very new to the IT landscape, what would be worth to invest your time and effort into certification. Say like, cyber security specialist or software engineer just to give an example.

[bwharris]

For an engineering major, do you think this is a worthwhile resume booster? Or do you have a better suggestion for a better suited cert?

[MrVayolence]

what skills doesn ONE actually get though??

[sailubora]

I've opted for Google design and got this certificate for free..
now i have no idea if this certificate is beneficial for me or not..

[chrisbarry]

Its only helping you get a job if youre a new compsci grad

[KG-tepp]

I have a heavy machinery rental business and I only have Bba degree so can you please suggest what all certifications shld I do from coursera
