92/366 Days of Growth

Missing due to my upcoming ISC2 CC Exam! I am panicking, once I received a free voucher for the exam... I cannot fail, once it is paid, and in dollars (BRL currency here 🥲).

I am doing Anki cards, Quizlet, hundreds of questions from a Udemy course I got in a promo day, but there's some trick questions that I already know that going to appear 😭

Waking 3 am to study in peace, once there's to many kids where I live, and they play together in the end of the day... Screaming 🥹 So I am trying to do not freak out, drink water, ear well, do exercises, and study.

Somebody HELP 🥴 (kidding - or not).

I hope you all have a great week! 💓🙏🏾☺️

Dear artist who could not go to an art school,

From paid art/writing courses, what are the ones that you would recommend the most to other artists/writers who wish to get better at what they are doing?

What did you learn? Anatomy, worldbuilding, design?

What is the price? Is it worth the price?

What platform is it on? Udemy, skillshare? Maybe it's a book?

(Bonus points if the course creator is actually an artist who will be supported with the money from course)

[ Here is a post dedicated to free art resources if you're broke ^_^ ]

do you have any advice for someone who kinda "failed" to break into tech and is still in the medium-level for learning. i feel like i've spent so much time (years) on this but haven't made much progress. how do i really get into it and stay in it? love your blog btw. i'm tempted to start one of my own but my projects are a mess and ugly 😭

I'm sorry to hear that you feel like you haven't made much progress in breaking into tech. It's important to remember that everyone's journey is different, and it's never too late to start or improve. But then again, you have spent years learning and you want to into the tech industry.

The obvious advice would be don't give up. My dad has been studying to get into Cybersecurity since the early 90s and he just got into the industry this year. He never gave up - family to look after and he could study like the other students in his university course because the large majority of them were single 18-22-year-olds who their only responsibility is themselves. Don't give up and don't compare yourself to other people.

You've got to look at what has been holding you back. Health issues, work issues, money? Can't study full-time or even part-time if you need to pay the bills.

Even if you can, are you consistent with your studying? We all know consistency is key. Studying for one week but don't study for 2-3 weeks won't work. I know the type of learner I am - if I don't code or study every day, even just for 30 minutes, then my tendency to procrastinate will increase a lot and it'll all go downhill from there.

Know your strength - build on the skills you are good at. Believe it or not, I know a developer I met in a discord server who only uses HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to build websites and webpage themes for clients as a freelancer and he's doing really well. It's because he realised that he's really good at those three basic languages and he worked really hard to excel at them. Expand on what you know best.

On the flip side, you could look at job postings around where you live or nationally in your country and see what skills/languages/technologies they ask for the most for hiring developers. Example: I live in the UK and a couple of months ago when I was actively looking for a new Frontend Dev job, I saw that Vue.js, React.js, and PHP (besides the usual HTML, CSS, and JavaScript) were asked for the most. If I wanted those jobs, I would learn those technologies, create a few projects to showcase my knowledge in them, and start applying. That could be one way to break into the industry.

Another way would be certificated. Bootcamps, online courses, or in-person courses like university or community colleges. Yes, they say that you don't always need a university degree to get into tech but some kind of education you've gone through that is tech-related e.g. Google courses or the Frontend Dev course that Meta is providing (paid). My colleague completed a computer science degree but he then did a bootcamp and he completed and that's how he landed the job where I work. So even graduates are getting further education. If you can't afford the massive fees, Udemy is a great place to get courses. And don't be shy with the Havard CS50 course videos they have on YouTube - free and you get a certificate free as well!

The advice I give might not work if you haven't identified why after all these years you haven't gotten your foot into the tech industry. This is no way intended to be rude, but if another person who had the same amount of time you studied, and they have gotten a tech job in that time, what makes you different? Goes back to what I said about the things that are holding you back. Some of the reasons are inevitable like health but you need to keep making that effort!

If you need help, you need to ask. Find a mentor or support group. Having someone to guide and encourage you can be incredibly helpful. Look for a mentor or join a support group where you can connect with others who are also learning and growing in tech. You can search for them online, some people offer advice for CV/Resume help or real "getting into tech" advice on places like Fiverr or Upwork or just google for some consultants online. They would cost obviously but if you're really struggling, this might help. After completing bootcamps, they tend to help you get your first job etc so they might be worth considering!

The last bit of advice is do you have a portfolio? No no, like a proper one where you feel confident enough to give to family members, friends, and potential employers? No? Either learn to build one (free of charge) or hire someone to build it for you (costs money) A portfolio is a great way to showcase your skills and projects to potential employers. Even if your projects feel messy or ugly, focus on highlighting what you learned and what you accomplished.

Obviously, I gave hints of advice more towards Frontend Dev because that's what I know more of but you can alter the advice to whatever niche in programming you're into. Remember, breaking into any field takes time and effort. Stay motivated and focused on your goals, and don't be afraid to reach out for help or support when you need it. Good luck!

** I'm not the best at giving advice but I hope this helps 💗

I love how perfectly you captured the accounting experience. Even other accountants are amazed by my accounting skills which is crazy because I don’t think I’m that good. I just know how to thoroughly abuse VLUs and If statements. I’ve always wanted to get a handle on VBAs and macros beyond googling what I need and copy pasting the coding. Did you learn it in college? I’ve also heard LinkedIn has some stuff, but idk if it’s any good.

i didn't learn shit in college!! absolutely baffling how little excel we learned. we took one class for a small amount of microsoft access not exceeding the amount i learned in middle school to build a database of animal crossing collectibles. other students in my accounting classes would opine over how much they hated excel and preferred just handwriting things on a ledger sheet?? fucking wild, good luck weirdos.

anyway my embarrassing confession is that one summer in college i took this udemy course that i paid $12 for and it gave me the foundation for everything i've done since then. except powerquery which i learned later while trying to do something similar to powerquery using vba and someone asked me why the fuck i was doing that. you could probably find something just as good for free on youtube but the presence of assignments and little graded quizzes turned out to be vital in tricking me into actually learning it.

#original #most udemy courses are garbage imho #but that specific one seemed to work for me #i really wish we had the latest version of excel at work so i could use xlookup :(

I'd love to hear more about your experience building a career in IT without a degree, if you're comfortable sharing. Desperate for inspiration right now!

Hello anon!! Glad to share! I think IT is a great career for people without degrees. This is extremely long, so it's under a readmore.

So, this answer varies a bit depending on what part of IT you're most interested in. I'm gonna tell you what I did, which was start out as a help desk technician. Afaik, this is the most common career path for IT without a degree.

First thing I did was get familiar with computer hardware. I did this by taking computers apart and rebuilding them while I studied online resources. I got the computers from the local university, which offers spare or old electronics for very cheap; there are probably similar programs in your area.

The second thing I did was find out what certifications I needed. Certs are the currency of the IT field; degrees are useful, sure, but IME certs will get you way farther.

The first certification you'll want to get is the CompTIA A+. The tests themselves cost about $350 each, unfortunately, but that is a one-time payment and you don't need to buy official exam prep material. HOWEVER, I also know people who have no certs and are sysadmins, so this isn't required. They typically started out in a tech support call center and work on their own projects on the side — building gaming computers, learning a coding language, that kind of thing. It's a little harder for them to get going than for those with certs, but not impossible at all.

The A+ focuses on entry-level hardware and software. It's a little deceptive as far as the actual job goes, though; for one, it tests you on technology that's a little outdated (my last test in 2019 covered Windows 7 and 8.1), and you have to memorize shit, like what speed of RAM you can use with which type of motherboard, etc. The good thing is that none of this memorized information needs to be retained. We have Google. Just remember it long enough to pass your test and keep the general theory in mind, no need to remember specifics.

For prep advice, Reddit is a good source (check out /r/comptia), and the books and tests recommended there can be found for free in the right places. Also, if you see this in the next 5 hours, Udemy apparently has their courses on sale for $19.99 (as opposed to $109).

So we'll assume you get the certificate. Now you get to apply for jobs. Lucky you!

I live in a semi-rural area, so my job searching experience might be very different from yours. Here are some general tips, though.

Play up your people skills. My first manager told me I was hired because it was easier to teach willing people technical skills than interpersonal skills. And before you worry too much, please consider that the standards here are "willing to help" and "not condescending." The snotty IT guy stereotype is alive and well, and if you can be more polite than that guy, you're in a good place. People can handle weirdness if you're nicer than the other options.

Avoid coding bootcamps. In general, be wary of paid training that doesn't give you industry-standard certificates. There are so many businesses out there who will happily take your money and teach you the bare minimum before throwing you to the wolves.

For all things resume and interview, I highly suggest checking out Ask A Manager's site. I basically learned all my office interpersonal skills from her.

Try to work in a place that gets public funding. Government, nonprofits, schools, etc. YMMV on this, but I find these environments to be much less (openly) sexist, and more willing to take any complaints seriously, if only because it's worse for them if something negative gets out than in the private sector. Downside: the pay is not comparable at all to private sector pay. It depends on your priorities.

Speaking of pay...what is a help desk technician's starting wage, you might ask?

Well, in my HCOL area, a technician job requiring an A+ cert and a high school diploma starts out at about $28/hour. In Phoenix, AZ, the same job starts out at $20/hour. In LA, looks like it's $20-25, same for Boston. As you gain experience, your value shoots up. My previous position was as tier 3 support (the person the help desk techs turn to when they're stuck), and I was making more than most of my college-educated friends. Except the engineers. But having seen what it takes to be an aerospace or chemical engineer, I'm okay with that.

If you are looking beyond the immediate future right now, you can also check out other IT subfields. You'll usually start off in help desk, but you can advance very quickly. I would suggest:

Cyber security

Data analysis or database administration

Networking

GIS (geographic information systems, very cool stuff)

Software dev (check this out if you like flowcharts)

As far as my career path: I worked as a computer technician for a university, then a tier 2 support job for local government. (I then job-hopped and had a mental breakdown. Simultaneously. I do not recommend that part.) Now I'm a database administrator and project manager. I'm very new to this job but so far it's great.

Please feel free to ask me more questions! Most of my friends are in IT and if I don't have an answer, I can find you one.

@prosopopeya I saw your tags on your reblog last night (sorry for the delay in my response) and thought responding via a new post would be easier. Also in case any of my other followers are interested in coding. If you're not, keep scrolling lol

#speaking of prev tags maybe i want to get into coding #do you like your job????

I honestly do enjoy my career. I mean, a job is still a job, and if I were independently rich I probably wouldn't be doing it. But since I need to work to survive, I find myself very lucky and privileged to fall into a career I actually like. Especially since this career happens to be very well paid. And I get to work 100% from home!

Coding can definitely be frustrating sometimes, don't get me wrong, but I love the problem solving process. Debugging and fixing bugs, researching the best ways to do things, etc. If a project is particularly challenging, making it work exactly the way you intend it to is such a thrill! Of course, there are also easier projects or more boring ones that aren't as interesting or exciting (or frustrating), but like I said, it's still a job lol. Overall, it's definitely worth it for me.

That said, it's not for everyone. If you are serious about pursuing coding, I wouldn't even think about going back to school or doing a bootcamp or whatever just yet. There are a lot of great resources online where you can learn the basics for free! I highly recommend you try them out first and see if you like it or not before committing to it as a career path.

It's been awhile since I've used beginner resources, but I remember Codecademy being pretty good for absolute beginner lessons, since it's hands-on from the very start - you write short scripts based on the lesson and it grades them for you immediately. It even has a course to help you decide which direction to go in. I'd personally start with Python, as it's widely believed to be the easiest to learn (and also my personal favorite) but it depends on what you find most interesting. There are also plenty of courses on MOOCs like Coursera, edX and Udemy, but I think Codecademy is a good place to start.

Now, if you decide you do like coding, awesome! Unfortunately, the entry-level market is fairly saturated, at least that's what I hear on r/cscareerquestions (I got to bypass that because I could use my previous experience on my resume when applying for jobs post-grad school). Since you'd be starting out with a bachelor's and master's in something completely unrelated, you'd be at a disadvantage. The main options are to go back to school and get a CS degree, go to a coding bootcamp, or just build an impressive portfolio on GitHub. Which of these would be your best option would depend on your circumstances and drive/motivation. I recommend checking out the linked subreddit for more info.

There is also another option that is not as widely known: getting into Salesforce. Salesforce at its core is a customer relationship management (CRM) system, but it's really a cloud platform for application development. Meaning, it's good for customer data but you can build basically anything using the platform. Case in point, I've spent my entire post-grad school career in the higher education industry. There are a lot of different ways that universities are using Salesforce. But you can think of any industry and I guarantee some companies/organizations in it are using Salesforce.

I bring up Salesforce because even though I personally work on the coding/development side of it, that's not the only option. Salesforce enables people to make a lot of configurations and basic-to-intermediate automations using "point-and-click" tools instead of code. People who focus on that side of Salesforce are Salesforce Administrators, and they're in high demand as well. So if you realize you don't like coding, but still want to be tech-adjacent, this could be another option to pursue.

If you're interested, you can learn hands-on for free at Trailhead. Certifications are big in Salesforce (I happen to have 2 - the Admin and Developer 1 certs) but you can use Trailhead to prepare for the certs, which you'll definitely want starting out. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people with certs and no experience in the entry-level market, so it's not an immediate slam dunk, but it's not impossible, and I'd be happy to help in any way I can.

If you're not interested in coding and not interested in Salesforce, but still want to be tech-adjacent, I can think of the following career paths: business analyst, project manager, and technical writer. I'm not very well-versed in the job market for these though, but they should still pay fairly well if you can manage to get into them.

If you managed to make it this far, then sorry for all this tl;dr! But I hope you found it helpful, and if you have any other questions, feel free to ask at any time 🥰

Side Hustles That Won't Kill Your Day Job
