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!

“Internet doesn’t work”

  • No info about location
  • No info about which rolling stock
  • No info who filed the ticket so I could ask
  • No info about when
  • No description at all beyond the title.

…yup, that happened when I was dealing with internet on trains a few eons ago. After finally figuring out who filed the ticket by the phone number and cross-referencing that with a bunch of working schedules, we figured out which carriage. After jumping through a bunch of hoops to make my way on board, everything was working fine.

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 curious

Probably 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.

At my job I can’t move up without a masters.

Seems a bit in depth for a starting point. An associate’s or bachelor’s seems more fitting. Master’s is for deeper dives into areas of expertise, from what I understand.

In my experience its more about learning how to dive really deep into one subject, but you’ll have many subjects in your life and applying those learned skills to your work.

Mine got me a job at Microsoft and a 30% pay bump. Even now it gets me additional push when moving jobs. It’s a lot of experience and knowledge that builds your skills beyond the technical so that you can communicate with non-technical people (e.g. sales, management, accounting, etc.).

What do you do with a masters in IT? I’m assuming teaching?

I’m going to use it to move up in my job: management most likely.
