I am in need of guidance, fellow Sea/b/ass/tian/s Sebastians. I am on a long, long journey, and this is only the beginning. To start, my long term goal is to be a cutting edge genius beyond what even Elon or his child could hope to become(shoot for the moon, and all that). Short term goal is to become at least as knowledgeable as the most knowledgeable sys admin(and as wise). Shorter-term goal is to gain at least 3 tech certifications in the next 2 years, begin an entry-level IT job, and rise to at least a $70,000 annual pay rate within, at most, 2 years, due to my level of value. No need to w

Hello there everyone, I'm not sure where to post this so I decided to start in "Off Topic" and if I'm wrong here just say so. I'm really good at troubleshooting and fixing hardware and software but that is just the basics of IT and I've seen that a lot of companies are trying to find more people that know more about managing, programming, and networking. I hate programming, I'm not that good at leadership and networking it's all right but it can sometimes be too complex for me. I am studying IT (Information Technology) at Keiser University and I'm not sure where to

Hi everyone, I'm a self employed computer consultant but I'm thinking of taking on full time work with a company. This question is geared towards systems administrators and network engineers. I'd like to buff up on any knowledge gaps by asking what a day in the life of your particular job is like. What technologies does your company implement? What MaaS, IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS platforms do you use? How many servers do you manage? Do you employ a lot of virtualization? What ticketing systems do you use? Does your job expect you to be cross trained in programming, web devel

Hello. First post here. I'm looking to change career paths and enter a field in computing. I have been considering going into software engineering. I already have an unrelated Bachelors, so I was planning on entering a Masters program in this field. For those of you with experience and knowledge in this and other related fields, what would you advise that I know before I begin applying? What would be the basic requirements for someone wanting to enter the field of software engineering cold? Assume that I only know the rudiments of computing. I took a programming course in high s

Hello Everyone, I will try to keep this short and sweet, My name is Dustin I am 25 and I was hoping to get some help from fellow tech people. This is my first time posting in any type of forum so please bear with me. I don't have any type of Tech background besides loving video games and computers since I was a kid, but I'm looking to get into the Tech field. To give you a little background on me, I love working with my hands, I do not have a college degree, and I do have my diploma/GED. I currently work as a Courier for FedEx and It's wearing on me due to the fact that I have nothing in this

So 10th Grade for me in high school is coming to a near end (4 months left till summer vacation for us), and I have to figure out some courses for me to take. And I just turned 17 on the 3rd of March so responsibilities will be up to me real soon... Honestly: I don't even know where to go. I took an auto class, changing car oil, brakes, parts, taking apart a car engine and rebuilding it, and all sort of stuff, and it was okay but not my interest. Graphics, which is design for like business cards and posters and stuff, its okay but not my interest but of a hobby if doing it at

Hello, and thanks for taking a look at my thread. I've been a fan of LTT for a couple years now and I'm just about finished with my generals in community college and I wanted to ask a few questions about the industry. It's also part of my assignment which is kinda convenient. Also yes I plan on using google, but I'd like to use personal experiences from other users on this board. 1. What are some key issues within our industry? Besides specific jobs being pretty competitive. 2. What jobs are the most demand, least demand? ( Pay isn't a concern, I'm looking for percentiles) 3. What

Hi all! I'm an architect in training who's thinking about how to incorporate my tech skills with my career. Right now I'm doing IT work for my architect boss, but I'd like to kick it up a notch. Does anyone know of any companies that regularly recruit draftsmen, architects, etc. to design their components? I'm mostly interested in case design, but I also love putting together parts lists and assembling computers.

I couldn't find a place to put this thread so I dropped it in general discussion, but I thought this was the best place to ask. While i'm still in High School, I need to beef up my job and college resumes because I haven't been super active on campus and I only have one job on there which is a retail store. I'm really interested in IT so I thought why not get some important certifications that'll help me later on and maybe I can even go work for my University and have a lot of my expenses paid off as an IT. But I don't know where to start. What are the most lucrative certifications

I've been into stories and story writing since I was 11. That's not much, since I'm only 15 now, but for me it's most of the life that I remember. At first I thought of books; then I noted they're not visual enough for my appeal. Then, since my genes decided to sacrifice my ability to jog 10m without panting in favour of my drawing skill, I thought of comics; then I've realised they're not immersive enough for me, and that one volume of a graphic novel would have too little story for the price tag without rushing the plot. I didn't even consider film, as 1,5 - 2 hours is too little for me (eve

This is... off topic i guess? I'm just a teenager who really wants to get into the technological industry, but I'm stuck. Back in my childhood (sort of still is) i fell in love with tech, no like, my phone have games, my pc have games, lets play , that kind. I fell in love with the inner portions, like the hardware, the software.(not that i dont like games) I've been growing up thinking, "life will work out someday!", maybe someone will aid me to follow this path, but my secondary school isn't exactly "helpful".(In Hong Kong, the schools dont care about your future, they only care about you

Hello, So I love watching Linus Tech Tips and the topics you guys discuss are awesome but hear me out every time I watch these video it makes me wanna consider which career path I should take in life, So I decided to join the #masterrace and to be honest I love watching tech videos but I'm really a novice and most of the tech things you talk about on the channel I don't understand majority of it,so I decided to go back to school and start from the begining with IT then later persue Computer Engineering Technology. So basically I would love some advice on how to start or how it was for you guys

Kind of tired of working in the tech industry. I've worked various technical support roles for computers, home theater systems, televisions, been a network administrator, a network engineer, a network security engineer and technical support for enterprise security appliances. The pay is good (now anyways) and I know the common issue is always me. I love technology. I just am tired of having to pick up the phone for it. Any suggestions? I'll take any comments...deep, shallow, constructive, funny, 'suck it up buttercup', etc.

I was wondering if Linus Media Group was hiring, or what the company future plans are? I started watching these videos a few weeks ago and saw the transition of the business with the "Moving Vlogs" Currently it doesn't seem that the company is growing too fast, and they have willing interns nearby to help them, that would probably take job positions as LMG grows, but I'm still wondering. Is there a section anywhere on these forums/websites for Careers with LMG? Or is it very private as they are "Youtube famous." I looked around this website and could not see anything towards career

I'm thinking about "going back to school", so to speak, because as time goes by I notice that my current job as a freelance translator is way too stressful and simply doesn't make me feel fulfilled. I've always had a passion for computers and I think I'd like to work with networking, especially Windows and Linux system administration, and I've been looking at CCNA certifications, which on paper sound interesting, but I also have a few questions about them. Does a CCNA course/manual cover Linux system administration, or "just" how to connect devices in a network and their inner

I live in south east UK, aka 'the land of the queen'. I have left "College" - NOT THE SAME AS UNIVERSITY. I currently have not got any job lined up...yet --- Do companies in the gaming industry ever provide apprenticeships? The only field I can find apprenticeships in is in traditional areas like the steel industry, etc. Basically, in those apprenticeships, I'll be coding general purpose programs. Not that that's boring - I do love maths and coding, but I was hoping I might find an apprenticeship in gaming. --- Also, would companies in either the gaming industry or

Like most people here, I absolutely love computers (mine especially), and I love them so much that I was hoping to make a career out of them. Being that technology is on the rise, as well as the job market for computer related jobs, I thought "what the hell, I could do this". I'm currently in high school, and I'm starting my future early. I've been looking at colleges and careers, and I know it's quite a reach but I want to go to MIT. I know I sound crazy, but hey, I'm in the top 10% in the country at my age, so maybe it's a possibility. I want to be a computer technology developer. I look at

I'm currently choosing my classes right now for high school and I am contemplating on whether to take AP Computer Science. I do love working with computers, but mostly the physical aspect of it. Which is why I decided to major in Computer Hardware Engineering or somewhere along the lines of that. I don't have any experience in programming whatsoever. What are your guys opinions on this? Should I take the class?

Having recently turned 24 years old and since completed my last IT related college course in 2013, I have spent the past 4 years trying my best to begin a career in IT. I have always been a computer enthusiast and it has been my dream to one day achieve a skill job in Information Technology, but on every interview I ended up being beaten to a candidate with at least 1 year of IT work experience. If there is a course online I can take for additional qualifications which might help, then I would be very interested to find out. I want to spend money on additional qualifica
