    I started in IT (Helpdesk) in 2001. Worked my ass off, making ~$32k. Built up my reputation and networked a lot within the company. Got on supporting senior Executives and got a huge raise. Took on projects and things outside of normal break fix. Became an technical PM and now make > 4x's what I did 15yrs ago. Bottom line: Work hard, always do more than what is expected , look for opportunities to do things outside of your normal job and build your network.

    I started out as a entry level tech, making about 26k a year. Now with certifications and experience, I started working as a IT Support Engineer making about 45k so far so good. Time and experience plays a big role on getting a better job, you just have to be patient.

      +Trinitro phenylnitramine I'm comptia A+ and Network+ certified. In total I have 15 certifications, including ACMT apple.

    • @KevtechITSupport
      @KevtechITSupport 8 лет назад +2

      Going to college for computer science is a good idea. Most people who have A+ make between 25-36k, really depends on your location and you will get pay entry level if you have 0 experience. You won't get hired, unless you have some kind of experience. You can work your way up and get experience or you can go to college and do both. This is entirely up to you and what you like to do. I don't have a college degree with computer science, but I have a degree in Criminal Justice. It really various on the person and what they like to do.

      KevTech what is A+

    • @KevtechITSupport
      @KevtechITSupport 7 лет назад +2

      A+ is an entry level certification from comptia. This certification is typically good to work in a help desk role or desktop support role.

    • @KevtechITSupport
      @KevtechITSupport 7 лет назад +2

      I would start with comptia A+ and move my way up to network+ because this gives you a strong background on hardware and networking. Comptia A+ now requires you to know linux, mac, and windows for the exam. While network+ requires you to know switches, routers, subnetting, servers, etc. I would move over to Microsoft once you have those two certs. College degree and certs and experience will bump you up to a decent salary. I would study certs and do some volunteer work because you need to get your foot in the door in a IT job. No one will take you unless you have at least 1 year of experience. Some people get lucky and find a job after college or after getting A+. It really depends how well you do on a interview.

    In the Denver Area, starting IT is around 40K-50K. Denver has a pretty healthy IT market if you're looking for a job.
    There's plenty of jobs that are 75K+ if you have more experience.

    Hi I need a quick answer. I believe 100% that programmers don't make even 5% of the money they claim they make because every time I look at those who make games, they are weak. Games are not a necessity and I don't even know who pays so much for them to have those high salaries. I would like to be a programmer but these realities prevent me. What do you say I'm right? Is scheduling a lie?

    Net question that I havent seen anyone asked yet and i'm surprised about is the average hours you work a week. Do you still only work 40 at most? a typical work work for an hourly employee is 40 hours a week and any more gains overtime pay. When getting into IT some positions except entry level ones appear to be salary based. With a salary based pay do you still get overtime and if so how do they determine overtime pay? how do they determine if you qualify for overtime pay? I had heard with some salaried employees from other business that you need to make under a certain amount to qualify for over time pay as well. Could you share info about this with us?

    I'm currently a senior pursuing my bachelors in computer engineering. Also, I work for the same university in the network department. I have experience and am confident with many tasks such as pulling cable, configuring ports, WAP, and switches and also know my way through linux. By the time I graduate I will have 2 years of experience in the computer network field. One of my professors that used to work for the navy told me that with my skills and the fact that I will have a bachelors, I shouldn't accept nothing less than a 55,000 year salary. How true is this? Also, I forgot to mention that I want to be a Network admin.

Maybe switching tracks to microsoft certs before going back to cisco. I'll see what will help me excel with the company once Im in there. I know its possible to make six figures with them. Thanks for the videos! Keep up the good work.

    Whilst IT can be quite lucrative its not as glamorous nor does it have the high flying salaries that some large companies and Universities will have you believe. For example, a friend and I who were in grammar school together in Ireland both attended the same University. My friend chose Computer Science and I chose Medicine. Approx 15 years later and that friend is still with the same company. He spends around 35/40 hours per week slumped in front of a computer screen and over the past 15 years he has seen a salary increase of around £10,000! (British Pounds). In medicine no two days are the same, there is great career progression and satisfaction! You are constantly on the move and facing new challenges every day. On weekends we often get together and chat about what happened that week in work. Lets just say his stories are never that exciting. We will always need people to work in the IT sector the same way we need medical professionals. Choose wisely folks!!

    What effect do you think outsourcing IT jobs has on salary?

    • @Itcareerquestions
      @Itcareerquestions  8 лет назад +4

      +zazen69 Well I've only seen a few places entirely outsource their I.T. department. One of which has already gone back to hiring on full time staff for these positions(within about 3 years time) I've seen some positions outsourced with-in an I.T. department and usually it's cost effective as you aren't paying for insurances and benefits.
      I don't think here in the U.S. we've seen a HUGE impact on outsourcing I.T. jobs, it has happened though so don't get me wrong. I don't think we'll see what exactly will happen for a few years and what direction the field starts going into. Salaries will be affected and it's mainly up to us(technicians, system admins, network admins) to fight for what you're worth. We'll see how it all plays out.

      No, it does not.
      People who wonder about how much you can earn do not have 30 years of experience.
      At a certain point (i would say 8-10 years) the experience crashes the importance of the degree.
      But for NEWCOMERS into the field the degree is important.
