The thing I've gathered, as a wasted 29 year old, is that nothing can be worse than base level retail or base level serving. I have a very strong tech sense (building PCs and repairing electronics), and although I'm thankful for the social skills I've developed through low end retail exposure, I'm long overdue for something more fruitful and I can't see how the "not so good" section is remotely close to as bad as the stresses of being a very expendable wage slave to these massive companies despite their "You're all valuable" coercion.

I've been a waiter and even got up to assistant manager in just 4 years, and I do enjoy the job, but the pay is just sad and as the pandemic showed, it's not a stable job to be in. I see a lot more potential in IT, both income and job security (at least due to demand). I'm not really tech-savvy though, which has me a little bit concerned. A friend of mine works for the local governments IT section and it seems to be pretty good.

You need to define what you are good at in IT. There are many options in IT, like network, graphic design, software developer, hardware developer(good at AutoCAD), animator(2D or 3D), IT hardware expert, IT support, database developer, database analyst, cyber security, data analyst, can fix computers, frontend, backend or many more! Define what you are good at, and you are good to go. You do not need to be good at everything, search one you are good at.

[@aquacat3552]

I don’t know much about the IT industry but I do have a tip for you, so many people have told me this. If you are sure of what you want to do in school, you shouldn’t go right away. It will be a waste of your time and money. This is just my tip, maybe take a gap year to really figure it out, get a job and work that year to save money for school or just save up in general. And then go back. I hope this helps. Good luck!

[@mohammadkhattab666]

If you are not into technology and dealing with constant electronic devices and spending long hours communicating an programming and solving issues while having your eyes locked on the screen, then do not risk it and enter the IT major. Also, you need to have at least basic maths/algebra to kickstart in this major. So double check whether you really want this major or not, and if you truly want it then you better start working hard on your weak points and study more Maths! Good luck to you.
