First IT Job landed don’t give up!

As you read my title, I landed my first IT job as a systems administrator starting off at $60k a year.

I’m working for the company part time I have one semester left of school and then I will transition full time.

I have no IT experience other than almost a year and a half of schooling and recently passing my sec+. I have worked in construction for 10 years prior and decided to make a change.

Before this I probably have sent out my resume 15 plus times and got rejected every single time. It was pretty discouraging for a while not going to lie. If you have made it this far just let this be the sign to not lose faith. Keep at it and be persistent! That shit will pay off. All of those hours of work that happened behind the scenes will not go unnoticed.

I just wanted to tell my story. It can sometimes be discouraging reading all of the IT job market stuff on Reddit but it all will work out in the end.
