I'm still unsure what IT career to go into. Everyone looks so enticing. Right now, I'm stuck between Data Analytics, Full stack development, and Cloud Computing, and I'm coming from a no-programming background
I'm 23 and a fresh graduate. I've been doing job hunting for a month now and I always fail everytime especially when it comes to interviews :'( . I don't have any experience and I lack confidence. I choose to be an IT because I'm shy and not good in communication. My family have a high expectations on me and I don't want to disappoint them. I feel like I'm a failure
You need to define what you are good at in IT. There are many options in IT, like network, graphic design, software developer, hardware developer(good at AutoCAD), animator(2D or 3D), IT hardware expert, IT support, database developer, database analyst, cyber security, data analyst, can fix computers, frontend, backend or many more! Define what you are good at, and you are good to go. You do not need to be good at everything, search one you are good at.
Hello! I am about to choose a college course and I plan on choosing BSIT, if anyone of you could tell me some things I should know about the field that wasn't mentioned in this video that would be really great!🤗
I’m still choosing what course i should take and i want to be an IT since there are advantages. But the problem is that im not very good at technologies, i can easily forget alot of things no matter how hard i try to remember them, i also dont know anything about technolgies except from playing games, and I really am not very a motivated person.
Well, you are going to have to grow tf up. Adulthood is hard so if you can not overcome little things like these, then prepare for a life of misery and suffering
@@blair5475 although I agree that you should push yourself, do not be rude. You are being too harsh because some problems are harder to overcome and it is not their fault. the op mentioned that they have memory problems no matter how much they try.
Thank you for the clear and concise presentation on the reality of working in the IT field. I am considering entering the IT field. What would you suggest a total beginner learn first concerning IT?
I'm already on my 12th grade now and I'm thinking of getting this course. The thing is, I don't have any background about all of this. Can I I still adapt during my college days???? I hope you can answer this sir. Thank you
I've been a waiter and even got up to assistant manager in just 4 years, and I do enjoy the job, but the pay is just sad and as the pandemic showed, it's not a stable job to be in. I see a lot more potential in IT, both income and job security (at least due to demand). I'm not really tech-savvy though, which has me a little bit concerned. A friend of mine works for the local governments IT section and it seems to be pretty good.
is it good to pursue IT even if you are not that knowledgeable and skilled about basic programming and anything analysis? would it be easy to learn along the way?
I’m struggling between picking computer science or cloud IT certificate from Fullsail. Would you have any advice on why one may be better than another.
@@syedmusa1397 Don't try to sound wise, salary is definitely important, you can apply for every job of CS with an IT degree as far as I've seen jobs and it's more practical, CS is theoretical while you actually learn things you can use in IT.
Hi, I'm new in USA and I come from Africa I would like to know if it's important for me to do IT because I really like this sector and it's good for my future here in the USA or it's only for the cityzen?? Please
Hello I have worked with many people who were not US citizens. Moist of them were green card holders. You probably will not be able to work on defense projects that require a security clearance.
I want to become a systems analyst or help design IT systems infrastructures / user interfaces. However such a position requires a specific skill set. If only I had the funds to pay for the training course, I could make it happen.
i think i need a few advice for the subject, im currently at senior high soon to be in college, i've been thinking of doing IT because i wanna be a game developer since i was a kid, but these days i don't really feel like choosing the course because i have no good experience (or almost none at all) in coding, and other than that I'm not really into games anymore so that kinda made me lose the interest, i have other considerations too but this dilemma is really bothering me. If i'll choose this course, do you guys have tips for making me find the "interest" in tech? sorry for the long message I just thought it'd be nice to ask here
I'm turning 26 in a few months & have a food service degree & only had blue collar jobs & this pandemic isn't cooperating so I want to move up the ladder & should I study another 4-year course on I.T.? Is it worth it juggling studies & work @ the same time to pay for tuition? I think it's doable, any thoughts?
Hey there, I had a buddy I used to work with who went to school out of state and his plan was to work full time and go to school. It ended up not working for him because it was so much for him to handle. What I’d consider if I were you, unless you know you can handle that type of workload both from work and school, maybe consider getting an associates in an IT field. I’ve seen so many TH-cam videos of people saying they didn’t even go to school to get certain it jobs. I hope this helps. Good luck friend, don’t give up! I hope you figure it out in the end :)
I'm in 10th grade and I need to decide what I'll take for my 11th grade I'm still undecided and IT have been on my mind for months now but I don't know anything about it
I have no experience with IT as I am currently working as an LMT and a cinematographer. I am looking for another option thank you for sharing this would you possibly know if IT offers 401k retirement plans??
Choose what makes you feel motivated whether you like the opinion of someone or your passion if u want to pursue your dreams pay attention to your self you must keep learning and you may face obstacles but make them make you strong but trust me its worth if you have perseverance, keep learning if u want to improve your daily life and you might be a successful person soon. Good luck have the discipline
Hello im 13 years old and im VERY interested in Computers and my parents said that i should get a IT course when i go to college because i have so much interest in it im just worried that i might flunk and not even get a degree even if i work very hard
Hi ! i just wanna ask you a question, i hope that you ll reply for me, im an international student and i wanna study Information Technology in canada in a college by the way ! but the probleme is that i have diplome in banking and finance ! so there is no relation between IT and banking ! but i have a little experience in computer, i used linux before and i fixed many computers so i did many things have relation with IT, so could you tell me please if i apply for IT or not ? and if it so hard for me or not ? even l really like these stuff, thank you and i hope that you ll reply for me
Hey man I'm not an IT expert but a concern citizen only hahaha. I think you should pursue the career that you really want, If you want to be an IT expert then why not go for it? You missed all the shots you don't take bro! If you really love it, I think you should go for it
If you are not into technology and dealing with constant electronic devices and spending long hours communicating an programming and solving issues while having your eyes locked on the screen, then do not risk it and enter the IT major. Also, you need to have at least basic maths/algebra to kickstart in this major. So double check whether you really want this major or not, and if you truly want it then you better start working hard on your weak points and study more Maths! Good luck to you.
Please i wanna go into IT career, d bad sode of it is dat I'm not IT savvy n no knowledge of it😢. Just finished college in Arts but would love to focus my direction toward dat angle (IT) I need advise. like: how do i go about it? wat r d first steps needed to be taken?
Is there a lot of math in IT/IS degrees/careers? I'm a senior in high school about to go to college but i dont know what i want to major in. I started getting interested and looking into this field this year and I am doing cyber patriot (team for njrotc)and am taking AP CS principles. I like cyber patriot where I protect against threats and set up firewalls and stuff but I don't like coding all that much (some of it is fun though) I'm also horrible at math.
I don’t know much about the IT industry but I do have a tip for you, so many people have told me this. If you are sure of what you want to do in school, you shouldn’t go right away. It will be a waste of your time and money. This is just my tip, maybe take a gap year to really figure it out, get a job and work that year to save money for school or just save up in general. And then go back. I hope this helps. Good luck!
@@Destinlearning good because I got plans for my future and imma need that. Another question is you said working long hours right does that mean its a lot of hard work too or is it just simple work done longer than normal time
It depends on the types of applications you are building. Most business web site do no require much if any math. If you are building accounting systems, sales reporting or scientific or engineering applications you will need a strong math background.
Yes you can go into IT I suggest you start at a Community college and get an Associates degree and work you way up from there. This is an affordable way to get started.
