I have a few questions, and if you’re a network admin (or have been one), I’d deeply appreciate your time ^_^
I’m 17, and will be a senior this year, and I really wanna go into the field. I love technology, and there’s an ITT tech in a nearby city, where I could get my bachelors in data security. I’m 90% sure this is what I want to do with my life, but would really be grateful for some advice from those that have experience in this field first hand.
I’m a girl, so will I be discriminated against in this field? I read that women aren’t exactly prominent in the field of technology…?
When you were attending college, what kind of part time job did you have?
Once you graduated, how did you get your career off the ground? What kind of opportunities did you have?
What does your job involve on a day to day basis?
And lastly, is the pay really that good? I’ve read that the median income k? I’m not just in this for the money, trust me, I’ve grown up rather poor and would like to make a decent living–one where I wouldn’t have to worry about bills/buying things I may want.
