I’m from Preston and looking at retraining into IT. Eventually cyber security. Good to see a local lad make it rather than all the American videos I come across

Insightful & useful. More of these please. Thanks.

Thank you for the insight. I’m currently studying the Comptia, this shows clearly the skills learnt at IT switch is beneficial in the work environment.

Want to get into Network engineering but I can't afford the wage cut for an entry position 😢

Network engineering pays pretty well and you probably would not get a typical "entry level" position as this type of skill is not really for beginners so you may be OK. What would be the minimum you could switch careers for?

@@imcktraining Hey man, I'm looking into getting into IT. How long do you think it will take for someone like myself with zero IT knowledge to pass the A+ and attain my CCNA certs? I'm hoping to attain both of these by the end of the year but wondering if it's wishful thinking considering I don't even know what these entail.

@@imcktraining Hey man. So I would be a total beginner looking to take my A+ and Net+ certs. I'm currently on around £30k in my current job and I know that most people start off on help desks which I don't mind doing, but I would have to start on around £26k, unless I get a second job lol. I really want to get into tech and am happy to explore other roles 👍🏻👍🏻

You don’t have to start in the help desk position. Once you get the certs, you could volunteer to do some small work for a small local business or find a part time internship somewhere that lets you come in a few hours a week to just help out and get some hands on experience. Add that to your résumé and start applying for Networking and Systems Admin positions. Just make sure to articulate your skills used and learned on those volunteer projects or internship. I’ll give you a cheat code for last resort. If you’re really confident in your skills, simply lie on your résumé and say you worked help desk for a small company that went out of business and list your friend as a coworker or manager to lie for you too. Sit down with your friend and make up the fake business name and everything and make sure your stories match😂

What is the yearly salary of this IT technician

Hi i would like to work in the position

Anyone else thinking of doing this because AI will replace a lot of jobs and this job will probably be safe?

Yes I think IT technician jobs will be mostly safe. Some companies may and have leveraged AI, but there will still need to be people running around plugging stuff into network ports or restarting computers or installing computers for new employees. No amount of AI can help Susie who calls the help desk every day trying to figure out why her printer doesn't work when the "Out of paper" light is blinking. No amount of AI help will be able to help Debbie plug in the USB headset into the USB port on the computer even if the helpful AI provides high quality steps and images. No amount of AI will be able to help Karen understand that she needs to connect her laptop to the docking station in order for her second monitor to come up. I'm exaggerating a bit, but yes there are people like that who seem to need help with every little IT related thing...

Why would you want to move from being an IT Systems Administrator to a IT Support Technician? Surely would be the other way round

@JJFlores197

Only thing I can think of would be to have an easier and less stressful job. I've had 2 colleagues move from sys admin roles from other organizations to IT site tech roles at my place of work. To them, its far less stressful being an IT technician rather than being in charge of the entire network or Windows Servers or VOIP systems. When you're a sysadmin and one of your systems that you're responsible for goes down, everyone is pounding at your door every 5 minutes asking when it will be up. I'm being a bit facetious, but it does feel that way at times.
