@@MadeByGPS will do! Thanks for the videos! Really gave me and I’m sure others a true insight on what to expect! I remember hearing you mentioned learning a programming language and I cried a little inside haha, now one of my classes is an intro to automation and scripting!
Tech can be lucrative, but it takes time and isn't fast money. It took me 8 years to go from $15 an hour (about $30000 a year) to $175000 base salary. I want to answer all your questions so let me know and let's get you into tech!
Very Interesting, I love your videos. What of someone who has never been in the Tech space, who was doing something completely different. If i am serious how long can it take me if i am very serious and can give it half of my day to learn. Thank you once again
I'm currently trying to switch careers. I understand $15/hr 8 years ago but I see help desk job postings now for 45-60k. Which is pretty close to the max payout in my current industry so I wasn't that worried. Now I'm a little worried, what are your thoughts on this?
I started as a cable puller in construction sites and years later I now have a engineering role at a large company's data center making more dough than I ever dreamed of. I have no college education, did grab security+ and network+ though. Now I am working on CYSA+ and in a debate between system admin, SOC, or stay in the my data center role. Congrats on your success.
Hello Dear Chris can you tell me if AI has made any impact in the field of your career. Is this a stable job after AI models like chatgpt has been evolved.
@@29ibrahimsayed95 till the time AI would take control, we all would be in 60's if alive so what if AI have control over everything then 😜, keep patience. learn , practice and crack the technology.
I like how you mention some of the soft skills like interviewing well and just generally having a problem solving mindset. Proper communication via documentation, all great points of advice. Thanks!
So glad you mentioned taking your time on certifications to soak up the knowledge. That’s what I do and I’ve actually secured positions over others with more certifications than me.
Yes there is is a line between the 2. The Sys admins and engineers report directly to the operations manager. The soft dev is in close workings with the operation manager, but that’s not their direct superior. (At least not where I work.) Soft Devs responsibility is to code and develop solutions and products for the company, while operations are meant to create the infrastructure and maintain it. With that said, a developer might specialize in one programming language like JavaScript and have a deep understanding of creating a web based application, while Sys admin will specialize in BASH, Linux, Hypervisors, Networking, etc. They will know how to host the web application and maintain it.
Thank you for bringing definition to each i.t. role that you cover. That "sys admin is abt automation" declaration is huge. That made alot of gray/questions very clear in one concise sentence. Its nice to feel like you can go into an interview with the right tools in your skill set. some of these job posting's "ideal candidate" skillset wishlists are almost comical. But again, knowing helpdesk generally = abc. Sys admin generally = xyz. That helps so much.
Outstanding, I sit for my AWS Cloud Practitioner next Thursday. After that its working with Python, bash and some Linux as I have no experience with them while working on the Solutions Architect Certification. I plan on using your Learn to Cloud info with the ACloudGuru info. Hopefully in 6 months Ill be ready to sit the 2nd exam and be more prepared for a new role. Thank you again, Great work!
Gwyn did a really good job, relaying the skills that she learned from each job role and how they help in her new job roles. Sometimes you miss some important career skills if you start directly at the top of the chain. And I totally agree with Gwyn in actually learning what is in the cert curriculum. And to take it further by following it up with a cloud build itself to make sure you retain what you learn. For me that is very helpful in making sure I learned/retained the knowledge. You will thank yourself later.
I'm a fresher in the IT world as I worked as a Tech Recruiter and had an interest in going to Tech so I had started my Network+ e-learning with CompTIA and I am based in South Africa, Johannesburg. I really look forward to this journey and your advice will be appreciated. Thanks
Unfortunately the median income nation wide is $85k. Sys Admin and below roles generally pay garbage unfortunately, HR has been disrespecting the knowledge necessary for these roles with low pay, my last 20yrs in the biz has been frustrating! Appreciate you explaining how you got to a living wage finally. 😎
This best thing i ever did was grab a dell server for labing and putting vmware or proxmox, spinning vms helps you learn the software. But doing this also requires some hardware knowledge. And networking for switching.

A+ is going to get you a super entry level IT Job. Help Desk, Desktop Support, and honestly that’s where you’re going to start regardless.

Don't worry about getting tons of certs, get one or two then get a job. That would my advice brotha!!
@MHb789 i did a summer IT at a school just setting up computer stuff. Then got a full time tech para job at a middle school. Schools pay like crap but easier to get. No certs or anything btw.

HI Gwyn. Thanks for your channel and contributions. Thank you for the Resume challenge information and walk through-I am working on it now. You are one the the best cloud computing career resources on TH-cam. Period. Quick questions. Since Cloud engineer and technician roles don’t seem to be entry level, should I be aspiring to work as a System Admin to acquire hands on experience in preparation for the role? I ask since I am studying for the Azure Admin now, and already have Security plus, AWS CCP and Azure Fundamentals and currently learning and using JIRA. My goal is Cloud Security after Engineer but there doesn’t seem to be a lot of information about a path to cloud computing roles (since its so new I am assuming?). Any information you can provide is appreciated.
is it mandatory to learn scripting for computer system admin or network admin? I am taking programming course but I really do not enjoy it anf find it very difficult to learn C language... if i do not enjoy this do you think I should quit IT?
Not necessarily. There might be some programming/coding but it probably won't be as intensive as an actually programmer/coder. You probably won't be coding/programming all day. So,it might be more tolerable.

@@MadeByGPS Keep your job. I dont need 'IT people' like you for my company. LoL. Edit: No, sorry. Its just a business. There I have to humiliate myself to make idiots like you feel better about yourselves, otherwise you'll cry that a 'mean man on the internet called you a bad name.'
I'm not quite sure why you are upset but it's obvious that something is really getting to you, and I hope you at some point feel better. If you have any questions about getting into IT, please let me know :) Have an awesome day.
@@MadeByGPS Not angry. I'm just 'spitting facts'. More than 50% of the people can be fired, laid off gotten rid of from the IT sector and the world will barely feel a difference. I understand that if it werent for the IT world you would be someones fat, ugly house wife. So now youre just fat ugly and in IT so you are the beneficiary. The finance sector depends on the IT industry and in 2007,08,09,10 the US gov spent trillions upon trillions upon TRILLIONS upon T-R-I-L-L-I-O-N-S of DOLLARS to bail out the finance sector. Thereby making the US finance industry and by extension the middle and upper class the biggest welfare queen in the history of mankind. I'll repeat it again, the US gov GAVE the finance sector T-R-I-L-L-I-O-N-S upon TRILLIONS upon trillions of dollars, not a 'few' billion, not 'tens of billions' not 'hundreds of billions' and not just 'merely' 1 trillion, but tens of trillions upon TRILLIONS of dollars to bail out the finance sector. The banking execs got their bailout money, the finance sector execs got their bailout money. So rather than the US gov adhering to all of those notions of how 'capitalizm will save humanity' went RIGHT OUT the WINDOW. And the lying sacks of stacks of piles of shyt companies like microsfht and amazturd, and goodle and faceshit and one shit kynt worthless company after another were also beneficiaries of that HANDOUT FROM THE US GOV. And you my dear are by extension a beneficiary of that gov handout. You are a welfare queen like the rest of those exec kynts to whom you answer to. I'm just pointing out 'facts'.

I'm not quite sure why you are upset but it's obvious that something is really getting to you, and I hope you at some point feel better. If you have any questions about getting into IT, please let me know :) Have an awesome day.
@@MadeByGPS Not angry. I'm just 'spitting facts'.
More than 50% of the people can be fired, laid off gotten rid of from the IT sector and the world will barely feel a difference.
I understand that if it werent for the IT world you would be someones fat, ugly house wife. So now youre just fat ugly and in IT so you are the beneficiary.
The finance sector depends on the IT industry and in 2007,08,09,10 the US gov spent trillions upon trillions upon TRILLIONS upon T-R-I-L-L-I-O-N-S of DOLLARS to bail out the finance sector. Thereby making the US finance industry and by extension the middle and upper class the biggest welfare queen in the history of mankind.
I'll repeat it again, the US gov GAVE the finance sector T-R-I-L-L-I-O-N-S upon TRILLIONS upon trillions of dollars, not a 'few' billion, not 'tens of billions' not 'hundreds of billions' and not just 'merely' 1 trillion, but tens of trillions upon TRILLIONS of dollars to bail out the finance sector. The banking execs got their bailout money, the finance sector execs got their bailout money. So rather than the US gov adhering to all of those notions of how 'capitalizm will save humanity' went RIGHT OUT the WINDOW. And the lying sacks of stacks of piles of shyt companies like microsfht and amazturd, and goodle and faceshit and one shit kynt worthless company after another were also beneficiaries of that HANDOUT FROM THE US GOV. And you my dear are by extension a beneficiary of that gov handout.
You are a welfare queen like the rest of those exec kynts to whom you answer to.
I'm just pointing out 'facts'.
@@ThunderAppeal Look I'm sure you spent a lot of time researching and writing but there's no way I'm reading all that... have a good one.
