I never ended up pursuing the certificate (might go back for it when I have time though…), but the Google IT program gave me the confidence I needed to pursue an IT career. Now, despite having no certifications (and just about six months after having first learned about Google’s program), I’m working as a desktop administrator and make awesome money (considering this is my first IT job). Hopefully some time soon this certificate starts to get the respect it deserves. A proctored exam would be better… but the Google program taught me far better than CompTia training did.

As a soon to be sysadmin college student, this was super interesting to listen to! Gave me a very good grasp on the basics of the role and what I am getting into. Thank you!

the most important thing is to define the rules of administrative responsibility in your own employment contract.

I went from 1st Level Support to 2nd Level Support to ICT System Administrator. So a Sys Admin is just a supporter who maxed out his skills haha
