Work in the IT field

[FromEquestria2LA]

Well, I thought I'd share this. Since 2015, I've been taking IT classes, and am close to my degree as of right now (am one year away from getting it).

Why did it take me until my late 20s to decide? When you're someone like me who likes so many things, narrowing down a career choice is made all the more difficult. Better late than never, they say.

Hopefully, now that I am seeking a job in the field upon completion of my degree, I am not sure whether I want to pursue a job in retail, despite the fact that it could help with my resume. Working those kinds jobs are not all glamorous, and may not be worth it (no offense to those who have worked in that field, mind you).

So, that's where I stand as far as my career choice goes. I'm hopeful that the Los Angeles area has plenty of such jobs for me as I have dreamed of since 2010. Wish me all luck! (Do offer some words of encouragement, please. But NO degrading comments, though.)

I'm studying web development here in Ohio. I hope to get an IT job soon. Hope you get a job, but not one I'm going for.

I hope it works out well. I believe you should do well.

I think in IT it's a matter of getting your foot in the door.

I did 25 years in tech IT, before moving into the dark side (marketing). There's a place in IT for most people as it's a hugely diverse industry.

It's usually best to specialise in a growing field that is well paid and not saturated, and always be careful about downward trends.

I did well in lotus notes, and had highly sort after skills, but IBM bought lotus and drove it into the ground. I got out before it tanked.

Stuff that makes or saves companies a load of cash is always safe, SAP, crm, etc.
