It is with great pleasure to inform you that today I graduate with my Master of Science in Information Technology!
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!
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 curious
Probably 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.
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.
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.).
The Human Computer Interaction concentration sounds so interesting. I took a couple courses on UX when I was in school and it was really cool to study.
Congrats, part time must have been hard. Now you can be proud of you and work on that Swift stuff and many other languages because I believe it’s good to have a basic knowledge of what exists out there. Have fun.
That’s a good point. I stopped doing it for a while now so I could focus on school and other aspects of life. Might be a good time to take it up again. Got any interesting ideas for an app? 😁
