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!
You're viewing a single thread.
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 curiousProbably 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.).
