I liked how you asked questions of your co-workers, really gave good insight into what each person does. You made this way more dynamic than other similar videos out there, great video!
Great EM. Thanks so much for the” Day in the life”. U rock sir. It helps a lot since I’m considering a career change to IT from Healthcare (Respiratory Therapist). I’m considering training now via college, etc and your videos help me get some idea of the different positions in the field in addition to training. I keep bouncing between information systems vs programming vs IT, which I think encompasses all of those ideas. But.. either way U helped. I really appreciate it sir. Thanks!
Hey man I really like your videos - I've been wanting to go back to university and finish my degree for IT and major in Cybersecurity however I've been a little nervous and doubting myself. These videos help.
THIS is my dream job right here! Thanks for making a video about it! I have to admit for your first time making a video you did REALLY well with the editing and staying calm, a lot of people would stiff up the minute the camera turned on lol. I do have a question though, besides with the scripting do you have too do some "hands on" work? Like working on the actual server because a drive failed for example
Sweet Miata. I rarely see them in good condition like yours. Best generation too. Watching because I have no idea what I want to do with my career at this point. I'm leaning more towards system administration but I'm looking a bit into everything to see what I really like
I enjoyed this video it gave me good insight into the position , i went to college and graduated in Process Technology , and now i find that i do not really enjoy it but i plan on doing what i love which is working with computers. But i dont know what profession suits me so ive been doing research this is the best video ive seen yet.
enjoyed the Video , thx....... looking to switch careers into Cyber Sec, would love to hear more from the young lady on the trail about her cloud security training/ certs?
Great Vid, happy to see more brothas doing IT, I'm just getting started myself. Question, how long after you finished school did it take for you to get a Infosec job?
There's always some idiot like you out in these comments that always have to inject race into the mix. Can't you just be proud of him even if he was not black?
@@raijin199 just wanted to mention that, African Americans make up a lower percentage of tech worker than any other . That probably wasn’t his meaning but it is actually good to see diversity in the work place
@@Nate-gx8xi thats how it starts, race should not be a concern. Who cares about diversity. The job should go to the person who is most qualified for it.
Man! My official title and my main job is software engineer in test now I’m a technical writer before deployments. This coming week I’ll be wearing another hat for sys admin red hat to be specific. I need freakin raise! For real! Good luck and blessings to all!
Depending on how skilled you are, help desk positions can be like that. Things could get repetitive but its cool to make connections and not be glued to a desk
Thanks for sharing. I'm currently in my first helpdesk role , few months in. What would you recommend learning to skill up. I'm currently studying network+ , not fully into networking but it's fundamental IT knowledge everyone should have IMO.
Congrats!! This is awesome. You are now in a spot where you can be exposed to a lot of different things. Keep learning and keep moving up. I would even recommend looking into studying cloud technologies in your free time. Who knows? It might end up being your next move.
Hey, Em! I liked your video. I'm sure there was a lot you couldn't show, but it is true that sysadmins spend a lot of time walking around and talking to people. I fell in love with sysadmin back in my first job when the guy who had been taking care of it for our tiny company left for a better job... that was ... well... a long time ago (30+ years). I now work on devops, which gives me the opportunity to write code as well as manage systems (infrastructure as code ftw). Tell your buddy that powershell is probably not quite as up and coming as he hopes. 😉 Seems that Python, Ruby, and JS are the languages to learn today. Keep working on your videos. You will get more comfortable with it as time goes on.
what were you coding in? php? I'm currently learning php as of now and I'm thinking is it really necessary to learn this language? What is it really used for, If I were to master it, How can I make the most out of it in the workplace and so on and I could tell you're Nigerian from the name on your laptop
TundeFunny Sorry for the late response. I was coding PowerShell and used A little JSON for the payload. I personally can’t recommend PHP if anything I would recommend learning JavaScript. It’s a lot easier and you could easily get a front end web dev job
I work in the IT field as well and let me tell you, your video really makes me feel really proud of more kings working in IT, also as your coworker said about PowerShell, is now in mac and Linux is going to go big, great language to learn.
TyrantPuppeteer True. PS was available for Linux and Mac even before we shut this. But PS core was just a little limited. PS7 on the other hand is a little better. Can’t wait to see how things continue to change. Thanks for watching and a huge thanks for the encouraging words.
Loved this video. Currently working on my BS in Cybersecurity and looking to get into the Network defense field or ethical hacking. This was great to see! I hate any kind of scripting lol. Huge shout out to you guys. Love this channel!
I'm like... fresh out of highschool trying to figure out where to get started with this. Non-community college isn't really an option. Any advice for getting started would be greatly appreciated! :) Very motivational video.
I would recommend taking an online boot camp course. Some of them do a rally good job getting you into the fundamentals and sometimes even cover more advanced topics. Either way once completed you should be in a good position to start taking cert exams like Security + for example. While at it I recommend also trying to get an entry level help desk type role. This will also help beef up your resume as well as expose you to the world of corporate IT.
Great video! I was wondering if you were interested in mentoring? As of now, I am studying for the A+ and I wanted to see if anyone in the actual field could give me a few pointers. And of course, steer me into the right direction.
I want to be a system administrator in the future but I hate computer programming. I'm currently a technology support specialist. Barely working in the IT industry.
Came for the perspective, stayed for the miata. I'm about to finish my bachelors in cyber security and was wondering if you had any certification recommendations.
Micheal Sheridan (mexhall) Finally! Someone else who appreciates a Miata 😂. If you are getting a bachelors in Cyber Sec, then you may not need any of the entry level certs. It also gives you a head start towards your CISSP, one of the most respected sec certs. If you want to get one just to add to your the portfolio, then I recommend Security + or any SANS cert. This is what I recommend to non Cyber Sec majors. Companies normally acknowledge them and they aren’t nearly as tough to acquire.
LongShot From what I have seen most positions in Security require almost no math. You do need know fundamentals the fundamentals of whatever segment you are going into. For example network knows for network security, system knowledge for endpoint security, dev knowledge for app security, and so on.
Threee Degreees thinking about doing the IT cybersecurity 9week course for veterans in Phoenix and I am glad to hear math isn’t such a huge requirement/factor 😌
Hey I’m currently In the Army as a 25U/B basically IT. At my unit I am a system admin with a Sec+ cert. I learned Windows 10 and a little bit of Linux. I manage LAN/WAN,Sharepoints/shareports,powershell, active directory for my whole battalion. I’m looking into trying to get my degree in System Admin/networking. What certifications should I also pursue?
Tstaten4 Thanks for your service and great job already securing your Sec+. If you are going to go into more networking, maybe start pursing your CCNA. If you are going more sysadmin, maybe an Azure or AWS cert. Any cloud or data center cert would be beneficial.
Do I need to know a lot of math to major in IT? Love tech but I’m horrible at math. Barley passed all my college math courses and dropped pre calculus for statistics
Half_Bloodx3 From my experience most positions in IT don’t require any levels of advanced mathematics so you should be fine. Also it’s a plus to no longer be in a class setting. Google has your back lol
Been thinking about making the switch from Retail management to tech. You provided from good insight. Do some people learn programming langauges like Ruby, python, or Java after getting a good grasp of security?
R Clotaire Yes, some people do. Programming languages help security professionals develop better more efficient processes and allows them to go into different paths within security. With that being said it is definitely not a requirement to know how to program but at the very least they should be familiar with development concepts.
the main reason why powershell are not in the top ten is because not all sys admin is using windows o.s. some are using linux so it's a bash scripting language and nowadays linux have pre installed python. so that's why a lot of sys admin using python for both O.S. But honestly i really like powershell as security researcher
Hey man, great video, great content! I have worries, however, as I’m about to get out of the Navy from working in a technical rate with computers. I’m struggling between if I want more cyber security or just it admin/management. I have a science associates degree in math/science and coupled with a background in fiber optics and computer hardware from the navy; I’m wondering how far can I get by just working towards certifications like A+ and Sec+ ? Any help would be great as I’m really trying to get on my feet ASAP and I don’t want anymore college right out the gate.
drayy8 Both are great. Security is big now and it doesn’t show any signs of slowing down. Sys admins have stood the test of time. I say go with what you enjoy more. Personally I would recommend Cyber Sec. Security + is a great way to start.
Hey Man, I definitely like your video! I am currently working in a Technical Support Representative job and currently thinking about applying to a SysAdmin Position. Do you think I should apply or what job do you think would help be beneficial to transferring to that would help my chances?
T Alex__ If you are confident in your skill and knowledge I definitely recommend jumping into a SysAdmin role. If you are good with networking, maybe also look into Junior Noc roles. Application support is another good position you ,ay want to research.
Power shell is pretty much the same but specializes more dealing with and working with the directory where as a conman prompt you can do plenty of things but it’s not designed specifically for anything directory wise solely.
I’m 22 and just received my diploma for an associates in Information technology: hardware and desktop support and I’m wondering if I should get my A+ first before applying for my first entry job or is my degree fine to get my foot in the door cause I know powershell, Linux, CLI, etc etc. or should I go straight into applying for higher positions and get my CCNA while working?
Really appreciate that. Also that is a great study choice as you can do many different things with the knowledge. I will try to get another video out with more info.
Would you say to start a career in IT its best to get a bachelors degree? or should i get certifications in powershell, A+ etc and an associates degree?
Not too sure what would be the best right. But I have seen a lot of job description change their verbiage from “4 year degree” to “4yr degree or 5 years of experience” or similar. I would say take a training course that will really give you the knowledge. Google has some really good offerings. But if you plan to move into leadership getting a degree might be best. But to answer your question certs are always a great idea. Especially when there is no work experience
Greetings, great video! I have an Associates in Networking and a Bachelors in Cybersecurity. I have no hands on experience, is there any advice you can give me in regards to getting my foot in the door with a company. Thx
Hello, 🙂 I am studying IT network technology administration. Can you please tell me how many Networking professionals are there in your company approximately? and are there good number of vacancies in this field?
Wasup bro leaving the cell tower networking industry and trying go get into IT security or be a cyber security specialist. Working on my NET+ certification. How long did it take you to master linux? also are you Red hat certified? thanks bro
Rob Genius I am haven’t mastered Linux and I do not have a Red Hat Cert. I have worked in mostly Microsoft shops. But I will say knowing Linux fundamentals are a must and get used to the CLI because I have never worked in an enterprise GUI.
Not really. Maybe if you went into Machine Learning or AI you would encounter complex equations but outside of that, I don’t think there is a lot of math especially nothing that a simple calculator couldn’t handle.
Kevin G Not too many jobs in IT truly “require” a deep background in math. Coding is only “required” when you want to go into Dev and automation work but it does help with almost all fields.
I liked how you asked questions of your co-workers, really gave good insight into what each person does. You made this way more dynamic than other similar videos out there, great video!

Awesome! The help desk is a great place to learn things that are critical. But i would recommend getting the security +, it’s way more marketable.
This video inspired me to make the jump from a L1 Helpdesk position to Jr Systems Admin. Thank you for giving us an insight into the lifestyle

Been thinking about making the switch from Retail management to tech. You provided from good insight. Do some people learn programming langauges like Ruby, python, or Java after getting a good grasp of security?
R Clotaire Yes, some people do. Programming languages help security professionals develop better more efficient processes and allows them to go into different paths within security. With that being said it is definitely not a requirement to know how to program but at the very least they should be familiar with development concepts.
the main reason why powershell are not in the top ten is because not all sys admin is using windows o.s.
some are using linux so it's a bash scripting language and nowadays linux have pre installed python.
so that's why a lot of sys admin using python for both O.S. But honestly i really like powershell as security researcher

Whats the difference between a command prompt and a powershell? Arent they basically the same thing?
