I’ve done IT. I’ve finally mastered IT (couldn’t resist 😁).
I’ve been in school (part time) since 2019 working my way to this day. Now that it’s here, I’m both super excited and a little anxious. Now what do I do? 🤣
Anyway, thank you for reading and have a wonderful day!
First of all: Congrats! Were the exams hard?
Any specific plans ahead?
And now that you’ve spent that amount of time studying, how do you feel about those of us who somehow made it in the field without a degree? (I wish I had a degree, but I never found the the time)
If you could choose any (realistic) IT-related job, what would it be?
But most importantly: What is your favorite dinosaur?
Hmm. Not once have I had to take an exam. I did a lot of projects; both group and individual. My last project was to read a research paper, and do a 25 minute presentation on what the paper was about. That kind of stuff.
I plan on spending time with my kids, working on my house, and enjoying not being in school for a while.
I’ve been in IT in various capacities for over 20 years now. I’ve been a web developer for the past 17 years. I actually work at the university, so I got to take the courses at no charge. So if you’re interested in getting one yourself, you should look into working for a university. It’s a seriously good gig.
Realistically, if I had to choose a different career path in IT, I’d choose mobile development. I’ve been doing the web for so long, I think I’ve finally run out of passion for it. That’s part of the reason for the degree; gives me a chance for upward mobility.
Triceratops. Those guys were badass with their horns.
So what is it you do in IT?
What program did you do and where?
It’s the MS in IT, with a concentration on Human Computer Interaction, at UNC Charlotte.
You’re welcome. I did the same too recently (just not as a tech).
What does a masters in IT get you? The moral dilemma of end users deciding to open a ticket or walk up to help desk? A deep dive into the public clouds?
Jokes aside, as a sysadmin, I’m genuinely curiousProbably jumpstarting your career, after a few years it doesn’t really matter anymore, but in those first years in a field you’ll probably get a bit further.
