New to All things IT

[The Amateur IT]

What's up, everyone?

So, I have recently decided to switch careers and IT was my top choice. I have zero experience besides basic computer literacy. I am currently studying for the CompTIA ITF+ certification to get started.

I wanted to join this forum so that I get a chance to chat with whoever has the experience and is willing to share what they know.

Welcome aboard. Everyone has to start somewhere. The trip of a thousand miles and all that.

Welcome to hell. The bathrooms are on the right, to the left you'll find helpdesk, and straight forward 2 floors down you'll find the sys admins in the torture chamber.

I'm still at the gates for now. But thanks for the welcome and the tour.

In all seriousness it's not that bad. A good team, company, and manager makes all the difference in this field. It WILL be stressful if you deal with high availability environments though.
