If you're interested in going into information technology or just technology in general, you will get some great tips on work experience, internships, college degrees, how to get a job etc etc etc
Enjoy!

Thanks for hosting me lmao. Super honored 😊
Anytime bro! More power to your channel
Keep up the good work
Seriously, u were an excellent choice to bring on this channel. U are super knowledgeable and have good advice to give
@@mamacocolilo105 Thank you so much for the kind words
@@JoshMadakor
I seriously mean that. Im always on ur channel. (Confused as I know nothing about tech). But I do watch and feel that u pro ide quality content.
I am definitely an introvert...I like helping people and do it alot at my job but I would prefer to be left alone and just code away
Perfect for you
Good to see you in the comments here 😂
@@JoshMadakor lol just trying to show my support for a fellow IT guy. :)
That sounds cool. You do you.
do keep in mind programmers also have meetings every so often lol
Thank y’all so much for the interview. Truly hope you both get the deserved recognition!
Very grateful!
This video was so helpful! I'm a second year IT student that will may have to transfer schools while we move out of state for my wife's med school. He mentioned WGU which is where I've been looking to transfer to. Clicked on this video not even expecting talk about WGU. Answered all my questions! Thank you Shane and Josh!
I'm doing my A+ right now, absolutely loving it. Will follow up with my network+ and security+.
This video is really amazing thanks guys!
I'm in IT training to get certificates and this video helps so much. I'm grateful 🙏
Awesome work Shane, and thank you once more for your continued efforts. You and Josh were on point, big ups 👍🏿.
🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲
Much appreciated
Shane you're on fire my guy 🔥 I appreciate this video Josh is cool and honest, helped me gain an idea of how to start in this field. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Daniel
Man, thank you for this invertview, I'm almost 18 and going to community college soon
Thank you for this content Shane! Now I have a better understanding of the IT field.
For feedback purposes, I didn't like the fact that you didn't separate the time in chapters as the last interview; in the last video, it was easier to follow along and come back to check the specific parts that I wanna watch again.
Lastly, I would love to watch an economics graduate student; I'm very interested.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the feedback Diego
Great video Shane! Please continue this series, I really enjoy it and there's lots of value :)
Thanks David
Amazing content. Please make this a series so that we can get an insight for many different fields.
That's the plan
@@ShaneHummus Can you make a video on the difference between applied computing and computer science and which one is better for jobs entering in the workforce.
This is actually a good idea for a vid because in high school I had to interview someone in order to graduate and you shouldn't really do that during Covid. I also think this will be helpful for introverted kids.
Loving these interviews! Keep them up. Embedded time stamps would be really useful too. 👌🏽
Glad you like them!
Another great interview, Shane! Keep it up👍
Great questions and answers I’m about to start my second semester and I plan on majoring in IT
Overall I think there was some good content here. However, I also think this is very narrow. IT is a very broad field. It is more than just help desk and help desk management. I'd really like to see content on the more complex areas of IT. For instance, enterprise architecture, systems integration for satellites, weapons systems, etc. Cybersecurity, IT service management, agile, scrum, portfolio management etc. There are loads of jobs that aren't at the keyboard, and IT degrees are a lot more transferable than people give it credit for.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE INFO. I have a few years in I.T now my job paying for my degree and I decided to go to WGU
Welcome
I love this little interview, Shane!
This was a cool interview. Hope to see more people on here.
I might do more
Great series! I remember suggesting last year, so I'm glad you had it in mind beforehand.
This video is awesome I like how you’re doing both interviews and degree reviews. Could you possibly make a degree review on an Electrical Engineering degree. I’m in my first year of college and am still considering the electrical engineering major. Love the videos and appreciate your dedication to helping us out 😁
Thanks Peter. I'll note your request
i am a student at wgu, I can't recommend them enough. Some people have reported having a bad time with the program mentor. But that hasn't been the case for me, they're super supportive, just got my comptia a+ and working on network and security plus. biggest bang for your buck that's for sure.
Would love to see you also interview a Project Manager.
I’m going back to school for Full Stack Web Developer and I’m nervous. Thanks for the upload
Hi Shane! Could you please do one like this for financial managers (or CFO or financial analysts) basically any job finance majors would go to. Thank you 🤍
Noted Farah. For now maybe you wanna watch this interview too.

Very informative for a IT student👌
U two are my favorite TH-cam gurus. Both very informative 👏. Shane, ur doing everything right!
Josh is beyond knowledgeable. I love his channel and wish he would reply to my comments, but I've found answers to my question in many of his videos.
Thanks
Omg I don't reply to your comments? Can you link me? I try hard but a lot of them get buried 😭
11:50 Oh, man! I would love to listen to an interview with a Computer Science graduate!
Shane ur goated thank you for these
this is so informative and helpful for students. Could you make a video on the Marine transportation degree?
Maybe in the future
Appreciate it man.. Thanks...
very helpful video thank you very much
A very educative interview.
Thank you for the video.
Seems like WGU is not bad. Second IT interview that mentioned it. Similar to the other IT person who joined military for the free training and xp.
This is so helpful!
i'm actually t hinking of doing this IT seems kinda fun
awesome video Im trying to get in IT after undergrad
Best of luck
2 humble personalities❤️
Great information thanks
I'm very thankful for IT industry that they somewhat don't care about schooling and grades. Because many people do not have money, time and other obstacles to go further. Especially for people who want a change in career.
This video is so helpful!
I wish this existed when I was young. As a IT nerd during the 90s, I fell into Tech Sales through passion with 0 guidance.
You should do a University of Phoenix vs WGU for majors including IT.
Hmm interesting
@@ShaneHummus
Yes very interesting just as this video was.
So, certifications seem to be more credible than a college degree when it comes to working IT. The workforce is one confusing mess after another.
*Sigh* .
Awesome Vid though, I shared with a bunch of students here at UoP and WGU. Some were very surprised.
Definitely. Good idea!!
We want more interviews!
Welp I've already got my business degree down pat but I think an IT degree will lead me to a career that will allow me to directly help people, starting with a help desk role. I heard its better to be an IT grad with business knowledge rather than just IT knowledge
Just wanna let it be known that a video on WGU would be awesome!
Noted!
You should follow Josh's channel. He's got great videos on WGU. I think he's got two bachelors degrees from WGU and a masters degree from WGU
The best content i have ever seen
appreciate it!
Do one about consultants.
Very informative video
Depends on what school you go to. Our IT program has graduated more software engineers out of school that I can think of
What school do you go to
@@hibak6857 ASU
Please make a WGU video! 😊
Noted
Thanks for you
I really enjoyed this video
Glad you enjoyed it
Im attending WGU, i was not expecting to hear it in this video but nice to know I made a good choice lol
Shane definitely has some connections!
So much teamwork in this video haha
I would like to know more about what an interview would be like applying after I graduate with a masters in IT and Management with minor experience. Could I get a salary 70k+?
Thank you for this. I lmfao when you said 18 year Olds thinking about IT. I'm 40ish and just getting into IT trying to find niche.
You got this!
I don't get it. Can you pls elaborate
@@037_cse_jananir7 in my 40s just starting a career in Information Technology
@@Myinnerphyre all the very best
I’m the same. Just turned 30 and am trying to find a way in.
What’s your opinion on ECPI university can you do a video on that or a give me a short response. Thank you
Can you please do a investment management degree next, Thank you
Noted your request
Yo do one about like cybersecurity especially computer forensics cause crime and the internet isn't going away
Cyber Security: Expectations vs. Reality ..........(did already)
th-cam.com/video/yrUAAqCk2_o/w-d-xo.html
Wonderful video
Thank you!
Could you do a video on an interview with a software developer?
I might in the future
@@ShaneHummus please do
I'm in Management of information systems. I am about to get a certificate in cyber security and I'm wondering if I have the technical skills for it? How technical do you have to be to work in cyber security?
Cyber Security: Expectations vs. Reality
th-cam.com/video/yrUAAqCk2_o/w-d-xo.html
@@ShaneHummus I watched the video you linked, and to follow up with that: since I am gaining a degree in mis which my school puts more emphasis on data analytics, and the cyber security certificate is only a few intro classes, what positions in cyber security would be good for me who doesn't have a lot of knowledge on programming languages such as java?
I feel like comptia A+ is pushed too much for other actually good boot camps or internships or entry level on that network engineer Job making reports at first. I really don’t feel like you need to work the help desk and go on outdated comptia curriculum and further he seems like that working with more people might be more of his passion which is possible in other paths in IT which is so large
I appreciate your insights on this
YOU MUST DO A SOFTWARE DEVELOPER/ENGINEER NEXT!!!!!!
Noted Robert
Hey I’m a recent veteran looking to use my benefits to pay for my IT degree, so I’m not worried about the cost of going to school for it, but would you still pursue an IT degree if you didn’t have to worry about student debt?
Yeah, it’s getting harder to get a job without a degree
Best IT interview question I ever got...
Interviewer: How's your spelling?
Me: Awful!
Interviewer: Good! All the best tech people have bad spelling.
Computer science vs information technology please
Check out how they ranked

A-plus what? Couldn’t hear the certification he recommends.
"CompTIA A+" is the name of the cert 😁
what if you're extroverted, IT still a good career?

I feel he has a very specific route he’s pushing working up from a help desk position and comptia I’ve taken that test and I also see how you mention the entry to intermediate level which is true but I feel like depending on what you want to be , the route may be different because it’s so broad but I guess you can say it’s a race to get that first step in the door
Thanks for your input
Are you from NOLA?
Is MIS good for IT
Yes especially because a lot of the curriculum is business classes. Tech changes so fast nowadays, but business classes are still extremely valuable. I'm in MIS right now and I love it
@Gabe F Rochester Institute of Technology
Hey ! Hellooooo brother !
I didn’t know Keegan Michael Key’s brother worked in tech.
Is it worth it to go to IT at 35 y.o.?
Yes! What's does being 35 have to do with anything?
Finance
Stay tuned for that
I am here before the video has reached 1,000 views.
Wow! thanks Neil
and they said IT guys cant look cool
They're wrong lol
i know this is an unpopular opinionbut i like your other types of videos better
I respect that
So guys if you had expected to have hairs in IT field know that you're gonna be bald .
