I'm just now getting around to watching your channel, Mark. You've got some great information here. I'm now studying IT at a tiny technical institute, and this video was quite helpful.
Thank you sit for this orientation, it is profoundly helpful 👌🏽coz am enrolling for one in Feb next year!.. Let me share with friends that are on the same trajectory.
Great video as always, Mark; keep up the good work! Quick question; I just began a position as a relatively low-level Information Systems Manager and my undergraduate degree is in a non-STEM field. Do you think it would be beneficial to go back to school for a Masters in the near future; both to formalize my knowledge as well as hopefully help move up the ladder over time? For context, I was potentially looking at an IT Management related degree, as I’m quite a fan of, and have extensive experience, working with people.
It certainly could help you! One thing I would consider though is you may want to get some time in working before you decide to commit to the degree. Give yourself some time to focus on your work and establish yourself. After that I would inquire as to whether or not your employer has any continuing education assistance programs. Lastly, look for a master's that is tailored for people that are currently working if you can.
I’m 35 and working in the autonomy field earning great money at the moment but I’m just thinking about doing an I.T bachelor degree now later in life as I’m looking at job seeking overseas and most places will only take you with a bachelor degree on a visa, in your own opinion do you think this would be worth the time and money put into it?
I looked on DePaul university curriculum for IT degree and your right you need take programming classes. if I don’t like programming do you think I should not study this major ?
Did you receive any certifications when you went through the program at UCF? Currently attending Valencia to complete AA then going to transfer to UCF for Information Technology.
Im so clueless, been binge watching about courses. I have around less than a month left to pick a course but I guess im going IT since my family thinks im good at tech stuffs (which I'm not at all trust me i just do the most basic troubleshootings in their techs) I have a question, are the maths in IT complicated? I have asked around and so far its not too-too complicated. (Cuz I hate math) After I finish the IT course I would love a job where theres less coding and more of a help desk type of IT job or similar to those, any recommendations of those jobs? I dont mind coding and stuffs its just that im afraid I might find it boring and I want more a practical, hands-on work. Thanks in advanced and thanks for the video.
Nah IT doesn't have a lot of maths and the maths it has is generally pretty easy. Some IT programs don't even have maths at all. It all depends on the institution. There is also a bachelor of Science degree in IT. This one contains more math than the bachelor of IT. If you hate math, then avoid a bachelor of Science in IT and Computer science and rather do the BIT (bachelor of information technology)
If you graduate with an IT degree I would recommend becoming an IT support specialist. Basically, you just assist with hardware and software problems. You don't need to code at all for this job. You can also become a data analyst or systems administrator. This is where you install software and hardware such as routers, cabling etc
IT has maths but not a lot. IT has math, but not that heavy/hard. Only Basic Arithmetic, Linear Algebra, Some Geo and Trigo, Pre Cal and Cal. Depending on your uni or school you might have a Discrete Math Subject. Discrete Math is difficult and the hardest in IT/IS Major. IT has programming/coding subjects and classes but not a lot like in CS. CS has loads and lots of Math. CS also has very hard/difficult Math. Its also software heavy and loads of coding, way more than IT. IT is more versatile. Because you have networking classes and it will help you on support type of jobs. Fields in Technology are Supports, Networking, Software Developing, Data Science, Cloud Computing, Cybersecurity. CS is more heavy on software and data science. IT is more on support and networking. Cloud and Security are for both if you're really interested in it. Even a non degree self taught person can get into each of those. So figure out what you want to do. If you absolutely don't like coding go for Support Field (Help Desk, Tech Support, System Administrator, Managed Service Provider). In these jobs you need to be skilled, knowledgeable and good obviously. Its practical, has hand and communication work. This will be perfect for you. You can also go to Networking Field (Network Engineer, Network Technician, Network Architect). You need knowledge and skills about networking and enterprises with this. CCNA/CCNP/CCIE Certifcations will definitely help and land you a good job. Its also practical, has hand and communication work. This also works for you. No programming and coding needed just like support jobs. But, having a little bit of programming skills will definitely helped. In networking you will help people in various fields like the Devs, Security, QA's and Supports. If something went wrong its your job to fix it and guys from various fields will come to you. If you did just right you'll get an okay thank you Loool. This job is stressful but not as hard as other fields. Lastly. You can go to Cybersecurity Field. It has no programming and zero to minimal coding. Having skills and experience to developing is a plus but not a requirement. This is the best out of the non coding tech jobs out there, but its not easy to get into it. Its not entry level and likely you need years and years of experience to get to this. You can work in support field as System Administrator for 5 years or a Network Engineer for more years and you would get into security. Cloud Computing, Data Science, Software Developing = You absolutely have to be good at math and really into loving/liking/learning/good/great at programming. Lastly in your college you have to do and pass the programming class. You can't skip, dodge or duck it. Just focus on a certain field after you graduate.
Please i love this intro. I'm now going to offer it in a university. I would be very glade if you could build me up before getting into school. #Mark Ensley
I just recently graduated with my Bachelor’s degree in IT last week.
Congratulations!
Just started nervous but eager at the same time. Congrats as well!!.
Did you take programming classes?
@@Obito_17-52 yes
Congratulations 🎉
With all due respect, dude...this is awesome! Thanks for your insights. I look forward to checking out the rest of your videos.
Take care, everyone.
I'm just now getting around to watching your channel, Mark. You've got some great information here. I'm now studying IT at a tiny technical institute, and this video was quite helpful.
Thanks, glad I could be of help.
Thank you for the honesty and great video. I’m starting my degree in the fall 2023.❤
I wish you the best of luck, I'm almost finished now!
Is there programming classes?
Great video man, this really helped a lot!!
Glad it helped!
Thank you sit for this orientation, it is profoundly helpful 👌🏽coz am enrolling for one in Feb next year!..
Let me share with friends that are on the same trajectory.
All the best!
thank you for the helpful video! I am currently pursuing BSIT at UCF.
I'm glad I could help. I wish you the best of luck and remember to have a good time!
This is where I was planning on going if I pursue this lol
Great video as always, Mark; keep up the good work!

I did calculus’s 1 for my IT degree it’s a requirement
Hey I’m starting my course work with 4 classes this summer. How difficult are the classes? One of my classes is database concepts .
I’m 35 and working in the autonomy field earning great money at the moment but I’m just thinking about doing an I.T bachelor degree now later in life as I’m looking at job seeking overseas and most places will only take you with a bachelor degree on a visa, in your own opinion do you think this would be worth the time and money put into it?

If you really hate it IT is probably not for you, that being said some IT degrees feature less programming than mine did.
Did you receive any certifications when you went through the program at UCF? Currently attending Valencia to complete AA then going to transfer to UCF for Information Technology.
I considered doing an A+ but then decided it wasn't necessary.
I'm interested in all the things that don't make money

Is it worth it to take INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SYSTEM degree in 2024?? Is there jobs still available
There are certainly jobs available, and it probably is worth it, but you'll also need to learn marketable skills on your own.
