There are a lot of negative comments about breaking into the Information Technology (IT) field. Getting hired for your first IT job has never been easy in my experience. I started working in the field about 10 years ago as a Help Desk Technician and have progressed since then. Before landing that job, I acquired my CompTIA A+ certification and was almost done with my Bachelor's degree in Business with a Minor in IT. The most important thing was an interest in technology and wanting to fix things.You'll hear it mentioned several times in this video that a strong interest and a desire to not be defeated by robots has been my driving force. I'm not scared of where Artificial Intelligence (AI) or the latest trending tech. There's a lot of hype. What really works is suiting up and showing up each day. Things don't magically happen overnight. This is not a quick fix or a get-rich-scheme. It's a career, and these usually play out over decades. Don't compare your year 1 to someone else's year 10. It doesn't add up.Please don't give up, and keep at it! Before you know it, you'll learn, grow, and become a true Information Technology (IT) pro.
