Need experience for everything. Could finesse a cloud certification into other IT positions not just networking.

Just check what's in demand in your area. You can make bread doing endpoint security.

FYI, the new Navy contract with Perspecta (HP) just got signed this afternoon.
I just got a bump in pay as a ACTR, as I'm about to hit my fifth year in IT. I also got a call from a former co-worker that may parlay into a cloud position at $90k a year.
It's about who you know as much as what you know.

I know Desktop Senior techs at Kaiser that are making $40 to $45 per hour. The leads make 6 figures. My team alone there are dudes that have been on desktop support for at least 10 or 15 years.
We also are on a union to protect our jobs and our medical and dental is dirty cheap on co-pays.

Left my company a month ago and been doing contract work.
Crazy how much more I can demand as a contractor compared to what my last employer was paying me.
But now I have some other gigs that might be coming through the pipeline and I don’t know what to do. I like the security of a steady gig to fall back on, but I’m literally charging 3x as much per hour than what my last job was paying if you break my salary ther down per hour.
Might go full time and contractor if I can find something remote and allows me to work night hours

Hey guys I graduate this December. I major in Information Systems with a concentration in Data Analytics. I been debating entering the masters program here at the University of Arkansas. I just wanted to ask you guys if there is any real benefit to getting a masters degree in this field or should I just enter the job market as soon as possible.

Get that money...unless you're trying to be a manager.
Experience, e.g. body of work carries more weight in IT versus qualifications like certs and degrees (unless it's for a high level management position or Tier 3 technician).

said "get that money". The company I work at now will actually pay a portion of your tuition if you decide to get your masters while you work. You have to be working full time of course which means your schooling would be part time, so it would take a big longer(unless you're crazy and try to do FT school). That being said if you really want a masters, might as well get the bag and go to school at the same time.If I'm being really real..... I don't know how beneficial a masters is going to be. It might get you a pay increase but as far as getting hired initially, I think experience > education.

In IT? What is a masters going to get you? Unless you’re pursuing a management position.
I’m an old crow. I want to get my masters so I can do side teaching at junior or university.

Thanks for the advice guys. I think I’ll hold off on getting my masters. I’ve been wanting to more into application development and database. What resources have you guys used to learn coding?

Anyone interested in job opportunities if I posted them? Tried to start a separate thread for it but it'd make the most sense here since all the ones I get are going to be IT. They're not just all local either, once I got my resume on ClearanceJobs, Indeed, and maybe Careerbuilder, I get hit up from all over the world. I now need to go log into all these damn sites and deactivate my profile because I get too many calls and emails, I probably get 6-8 a day by phone and even more by email.
I want someone to relocate here though, I'll help you with the adjustment. Get on this migration contract with the Chickasha for 97k after per diem (it's a lot everywhere but 97k in Oklahoma is a stupid lot)
