as someone who is frantically looking for an IT job trying my absolute hardest, it blows my mind how someone working in the field couldn't explain things like DHCP or DNS to you in this interview.

Great insight Joel. IT really is humbling,stressful,technical and some people make it worse lol. Im basically doing all those courses you mentioned with Security on top and 2 other modules. I will be stacked but struggling atm to learn everything. I hear you have to constantly keep moving in IT and looks like you went through the same.

Ageism exists in IT, as it does in all fields. That being said, I've found that skills and your ability to sell yourself wins out often. The skills you know and how well you articulate what you know can and will land you the job.

a couple thoughts as I have been watching this video: 1. I have never offered my services for free -- but this did make it tougher going. 2. Your job looks an awful lot like mine! 3. I started out teaching computer science, so your experience in schools is familiar lol 4. IT in the field and in education are VERY different for sure -- teaching it is so fun! We get to basically just share the awesomeness of tech, while in the field it is a lot more problem solving. 5. education is also very different because kids tend to disrespect their technology and take it for granted HAHA! 6. I don't think its so important to have a CCNA or A+ specifically anymore. My certificates are actually from all over the place and its helped me a ton. 7. One of the big problems people have breaking into IT is they look at the shmoozy googlers or AWS employees and programming. These things are cool -- but especially as the world is becoming ever-more tech literate, basic stuff is a given by employers. For example, kids know about graphics cards and what the processor relationship to them or how they connect through the motherboard. The world is becoming super computer literate -- to work in IT, we need to focus on things that just need to be *done,* even if the customer *could* do it (which in my field, they can't) they would rather pay someone else to implement. For me, this is networking with an ISP as a network technician. 8. Thanks for the share!

Thank you for the feedback; it's much appreciated. It's a catch-22 situation. Computer manufacturers need to sell the latest hardware, but they make their products so well that people hold on to their computers and laptops for years. Microsoft, in turn, has to please these manufacturers by discontinuing old operating systems to force people to buy newer computers and laptops. It's a money-making machine. Microsoft will argue that today's hardware is more powerful, allowing them to push the OS to be more innovative. However, we all know it's ultimately about the money. There aren't any major differences in innovation between Windows 10 and Windows 11 that I've noticed; they just look and feel different.
