- Hey guys welcome back to my channel and for this video, I wanna share with you a journey in my career where I transitioned from the medical field to IT hopefully to inspire others as well who are trying to get into this field so if you're interested , please keep on watching and I hope you enjoy the video.
This is so encouraging! I’ve been in the medical field for 16 years (nursing and physical therapy) and I’m looking for something new! Thank you for posting.
I'm glad to hear that! Oh wow that's a long time in the medical field! Hope you find something you like to do!
@@EastCharmer thank you! On a positive note, if I find a new niche, I can do both!
Thank you so much for the insight to what it takes to get into IT, from the education aspect to forming networks with others in the field to gain insight. Thanks for Sharing.
Glad it was helpful!
Wow, we have so much in common. I'm in the medical field and am transitioning into I.T., as well. I'm really looking forward to it.
Oh nice!!! Goodluck on your transition and just keep working on it!!
@@EastCharmer Thanks love, will do!
Good luck!
@@emilyau8023 thank you!!!
I think combining tour A+ and after CCNA was the best path but if you dont have practice labs it is only 50% of knowledge at least you need practice labs and hands on labs. Well done for your hard work and skills you gained i wish you a great career in IT 🙏🙂
You are right!! Get as much cert and skills as you can. Thank you so much!!
I want to say thank you I've been watching your videos and I've been inside sales in the software industry and wanted to get out and did my Comptia A+ and azure fundamentals. I'm in my early 40s and wondering what it's like in Chicago, the US for older people to make a career change into tech support? But thank you again I keep watching your videos and this one inspired me too. Consider doing my network +
You're very welcome!! Congrats on getting your certs! Network+ is a great cert too! Tech is still in demand especially tech support. It's just more competitive lately especially after the pandemic but if you really want it, just keep learning andfworking on your skills
Thank you for sharing your story. It is truly inspiring.
thank you so much! I'm glad you find the video inspiring
@@EastCharmer It was a great achievement for a person who had no experience in IT world.
Great progress you have made. I've seen the subnetting video you have. Any way possible to make a modern higher-quality version of it? I would love to see it. I am currently on my Network + journey.
Thank you for your content.
thank you so much! sorry about the quality of the video. it was from years ago. that's actually a good idea! ok I'll make a better quality video soon. oh I also have a VLSM video in my channel as well
Yayyyy Great Job 💪💪💪🔥.
Yaaaay!!! Thank you 🥳🥳
"You go 🚶♀️ girl " 🎉
Thank you so much!!! 🥰
I'm a graphic designer and already taking courses on cybersecurity.. Is not easy combining both together, I used graphics to fetch money and sustain my self while taking cybersecurity courses on line hope is a good one..
Why do you wanna transition to cybersecurity? I've always wanted to be a designer or in the creative area. yeah it's tough but it will surely pay off once you finished your course. Goodluck on your studies and don't give up.!
My love for cybersecurity started when I watched one movie called are you safe... I started developing interest in it and also I want save the life of good people online..
Thanks for sharing your journey towards the success. It helps! What are the certifications you took after compTIA A+?
you're welcome!!! I'm glad the video helped. After A+ I also took CCNA and AWS Cloud practitioner cert
Oh that's so interesting cause I went from biomed to IT!
Oh wow that's interesting!!
I went from working in the medical field to working in IT but still work in the medical field on the IT side.
oh nice! how do you like working in Medical IT?
Hi, I really enjoy watching your videos. I am a receptionist for a international law firm and I am looking for a career change in IT support specialist role.
Is it really hard to get into a entry level IT SUPPORT role with just a qualification such as Google IT tech? I don’t have any practical experience.
is A+ and ccna enough to get into an entry level IT job? was there other certicates you took before your first job?
That would be good enough plus doing a lot of home labs applying all of your skillsets. Those were the only ones I had when I got started
Could IT support be the path towards a database administrator role in the same company ?
Hhhmmm tbh it is not. IT Support doesn't do database work directly. IT Support will be the path to Network/Systems administration, automation, cybersecurity. But if you find a company that has in house database team, then you can probably get exposed to more database work. I hope this helps!
@@EastCharmer Thank you.
What are the future prospects of an IT support role? I know people have been doing it for more than five years and seems to me most IT roles requires a degree.
No serious recruiter will ask for bachelor's degree in CS most of them ask for experience or certifications like CCNA Cisco Microsoft azure fundamentals for cloud or comptia + net+
yes I agree with @amarildinio. If you want to get into IT, the job postings will most likely look for experience and certifications. degrees are not really required for IT but some jobs might prefer it but I've met a lot of people with no degree in IT or has a different background that are really good in what they're doing now.
Thank you. It’s good to know these things. I am currently doing Google IT Support certification and I really enjoy it however I think one of the hardest fundamentals to understand in IT is actually Networking but I am trying my best.
@@syeduddin3879 you're welcome! That's great! that's a good fundamental certification to have. Oh I see. networking is kinda tough to grasp in the beginning but it just takes a lot of practice and hands-on work. I suggest you do as much simulation labs as you can so you'll get used to the concepts. Goodluck on learning!
@@EastCharmer thank you for your suggestion. That’s very helpful.
I am studying for my A+ using professor messers courses,mike myers and jason dion.i was going to ask you what the starting salary for help desk and IT support specialist is? i live in NYC.
That's great! I used professor Messer a lot too. It probably depends on where you are but in Chicago 5 years ago I started at $20/hr
@@EastCharmer
Nice! 20hr is not a bad starting salary I live in New York so Chicago is very similar to NY so probably the salary is the same.I can’t wait to pass my A+ exam so I could get a good job making a good salary. Thanks for the information.:)
@@garylove2836 yeah it should be the same or maybe more now. Goodluck on your exam!! And keep practicing your skills
@@EastCharmer thank you for your inspiring words:) I like your videos I’ll be checking them out.
@@garylove2836 you're welcome! thank you for your support. I hope my videos are helpful
