Day In the Life of an IT System Admin (Security) 

I liked how you asked questions of your co-workers, really gave good insight into what each person does. You made this way more dynamic than other similar videos out there, great video!

Great EM. Thanks so much for the” Day in the life”. U rock sir. It helps a lot since I’m considering a career change to IT from Healthcare (Respiratory Therapist). I’m considering training now via college, etc and your videos help me get some idea of the different positions in the field in addition to training. I keep bouncing between information systems vs programming vs IT, which I think encompasses all of those ideas. But.. either way U helped. I really appreciate it sir. Thanks!

WOW! Such an informative video! I've been very curious about IT, and it was great to get a glimpse of an area in IT! Keep up the great work man!

Super excited i found your channel,loved every second. Please keep the content coming !!!

You wasn't walking alone. We were all with you. Thanks for sharing this! Great Video!

I enjoyed this video it gave me good insight into the position , i went to college and graduated in Process Technology , and now i find that i do not really enjoy it but i plan on doing what i love which is working with computers. But i dont know what profession suits me so ive been doing research this is the best video ive seen yet.

Thats how you do a day in the life video. Appreciate you for the effort man!

Finally a system admin vlog!! Thanks for the peek to what sys admins do in a day. RU-vid is full of web devs..

Love this work environment, I can't wait !

Great video! Keep up this great content. Its nice seeing other people of color in the IT field. Big ups!

Very very very helpful video. Thank you, and please continue making more. 🙏🏽

This was great! Good job for getting into the profession! It’s really hard to get into!

Dope video man. Keep going, I like this a lot!

Keep the videos coming bro... And keep the positive spirit !

Hey man I really like your videos - I've been wanting to go back to university and finish my degree for IT and major in Cybersecurity however I've been a little nervous and doubting myself. These videos help.

Enjoyed this man, thank you

This video inspired me to make the jump from a L1 Helpdesk position to Jr Systems Admin. Thank you for giving us an insight into the lifestyle

Love your day and job style ❤

Thankful for this video 🤩

Loved this video!!!! Please upload more videos like this 🙏🏾

THIS is my dream job right here! Thanks for making a video about it! I have to admit for your first time making a video you did REALLY well with the editing and staying calm, a lot of people would stiff up the minute the camera turned on lol. I do have a question though, besides with the scripting do you have too do some "hands on" work? Like working on the actual server because a drive failed for example

This was definitely helpful thanks for letting us see into your day I want to do this kind of work but I’m scared I’m clueless

Sweet Miata. I rarely see them in good condition like yours. Best generation too. Watching because I have no idea what I want to do with my career at this point. I'm leaning more towards system administration but I'm looking a bit into everything to see what I really like

nice vlog man.keep it up . waiting for another video.

this day in the life better than like 98% of other videos out there lol

"Im super late right now" Has time to stop at starbucks ....

enjoyed the Video , thx....... looking to switch careers into Cyber Sec, would love to hear more from the young lady on the trail about her cloud security training/ certs?

Loved this video. Currently working on my BS in Cybersecurity and looking to get into the Network defense field or ethical hacking. This was great to see! I hate any kind of scripting lol. Huge shout out to you guys. Love this channel!

damn im in my 4th year of uni studying IT and the stuff that you guys r doing seems so unfamiliar to me. I guess i have to teach myself some stuff.

very good video, enjoyed it alot!

Man! My official title and my main job is software engineer in test now I’m a technical writer before deployments. This coming week I’ll be wearing another hat for sys admin red hat to be specific. I need freakin raise! For real! Good luck and blessings to all!

Great video! Was wondering what's the best major to go for if you want to break into in this field?

I dig the Miata! Makes me miss mine!

Awesome video !

great video mang

Great content!

Keep doing what you do bro

really enjoyed

I work in the IT field as well and let me tell you, your video really makes me feel really proud of more kings working in IT, also as your coworker said about PowerShell, is now in mac and Linux is going to go big, great language to learn.

loved this

dope vides ❤‍🔥

Nice video sir. Keep it up

I liked your video.

Upload more of the day in the life. Very insightful!!

Sorry sir for being late for 1year but thanks for uploading this its very nice to see the real life it day hahahahaha

Hey, Em! I liked your video. I'm sure there was a lot you couldn't show, but it is true that sysadmins spend a lot of time walking around and talking to people. I fell in love with sysadmin back in my first job when the guy who had been taking care of it for our tiny company left for a better job... that was ... well... a long time ago (30+ years). I now work on devops, which gives me the opportunity to write code as well as manage systems (infrastructure as code ftw). Tell your buddy that powershell is probably not quite as up and coming as he hopes. 😉 Seems that Python, Ruby, and JS are the languages to learn today. Keep working on your videos. You will get more comfortable with it as time goes on.

I’m curious to know more about what Abby does bc I’m learning about the cloud now. Does she have a web presence going into this?

Good content

Nice one!

Great video! I was wondering if you were interested in mentoring? As of now, I am studying for the A+ and I wanted to see if anyone in the actual field could give me a few pointers. And of course, steer me into the right direction.

Great Vid, happy to see more brothas doing IT, I'm just getting started myself. Question, how long after you finished school did it take for you to get a Infosec job?

cool video

Hey man, great video, great content! I have worries, however, as I’m about to get out of the Navy from working in a technical rate with computers. I’m struggling between if I want more cyber security or just it admin/management. I have a science associates degree in math/science and coupled with a background in fiber optics and computer hardware from the navy; I’m wondering how far can I get by just working towards certifications like A+ and Sec+ ? Any help would be great as I’m really trying to get on my feet ASAP and I don’t want anymore college right out the gate.

Thanks for sharing. I'm currently in my first helpdesk role , few months in. What would you recommend learning to skill up. I'm currently studying network+ , not fully into networking but it's fundamental IT knowledge everyone should have IMO.

I'm like... fresh out of highschool trying to figure out where to get started with this. Non-community college isn't really an option. Any advice for getting started would be greatly appreciated! :) Very motivational video.

Been thinking about making the switch from Retail management to tech. You provided from good insight. Do some people learn programming langauges like Ruby, python, or Java after getting a good grasp of security?

I want to be a system administrator in the future but I hate computer programming. I'm currently a technology support specialist. Barely working in the IT industry.

Came for the perspective, stayed for the miata. I'm about to finish my bachelors in cyber security and was wondering if you had any certification recommendations.

The guy in a dark green golf tshirt is 🔥🔥🔥🔥 and his voice is OMG 😍😍😍😍

nice vid. what was that dope beat @7:40? Is this the job that pays 100K? And exactly what do you do at the computer for IT?

So were you coding starting @ 6:55? Or is "scripting" somehow distinct from coding?

THE MIATA!!!

what were you coding in? php? I'm currently learning php as of now and I'm thinking is it really necessary to learn this language? What is it really used for, If I were to master it, How can I make the most out of it in the workplace and so on and I could tell you're Nigerian from the name on your laptop

would like more on the field and your background?

Nice Miata!!! :)

Hey Man, I definitely like your video! I am currently working in a Technical Support Representative job and currently thinking about applying to a SysAdmin Position. Do you think I should apply or what job do you think would help be beneficial to transferring to that would help my chances?

seems fun.

Hey Bro thank you for the video . One quick question what is the app that you are using for scripting

Hi there, nice video. Can you tell us where do you work? I work as junior sys admin and i'm looking around for opportunities in othere companies.

Whats the background music you used?

Genuine question: is there no position where i just go to peoples computers and do super simple stuff everyday?

Whats the difference between a command prompt and a powershell? Arent they basically the same thing?

Thumbs up juste because you drive a miata ;)

Absolutely wonderful video, do you know of how I can reach Abby?

I'm in this field for the free ice cream

Would you say to start a career in IT its best to get a bachelors degree? or should i get certifications in powershell, A+ etc and an associates degree?

Greetings, great video! I have an Associates in Networking and a Bachelors in Cybersecurity. I have no hands on experience, is there any advice you can give me in regards to getting my foot in the door with a company. Thx

what company do you work for

Hey I just wondering if you had any suggestions on websites that help with this skill set?

Wasup bro leaving the cell tower networking industry and trying go get into IT security or be a cyber security specialist. Working on my NET+ certification. How long did it take you to master linux? also are you Red hat certified? thanks bro

Where is the next installment of videos?!!? Yo!!!!!!! Like....We waitin!!! lol FrFr

You had me at miata

Do tou have to be good at math for cyber security or is it more tech knowledge you need?

What is your qualification

Hey I’m currently In the Army as a 25U/B basically IT. At my unit I am a system admin with a Sec+ cert. I learned Windows 10 and a little bit of Linux. I manage LAN/WAN,Sharepoints/shareports,powershell, active directory for my whole battalion. I’m looking into trying to get my degree in System Admin/networking. What certifications should I also pursue?

I’m currently in school for IT Network Specialist any advice? And very good video btw!

I’m 22 and just received my diploma for an associates in Information technology: hardware and desktop support and I’m wondering if I should get my A+ first before applying for my first entry job or is my degree fine to get my foot in the door cause I know powershell, Linux, CLI, etc etc. or should I go straight into applying for higher positions and get my CCNA while working?

which company please refer me as IT Sec role I am looking for it

Im currently in desktop support t2 (3 years)and im really weak with my programming skills would it matter trying to apply for a sysadmin job?.. i feel stagnated with my current job and i wanna move up.. need your help and suggestions :)

“Im super late” heads to Starbucks

Which terminal are you working on scripting??? Thanks

the main reason why powershell are not in the top ten is because not all sys admin is using windows o.s. some are using linux so it's a bash scripting language and nowadays linux have pre installed python. so that's why a lot of sys admin using python for both O.S. But honestly i really like powershell as security researcher

Hey man with any language of programiing u r use 😅 i just want to know cz m rlly i want to be like you ❤❤

Do I need to know a lot of math to major in IT? Love tech but I’m horrible at math. Barley passed all my college math courses and dropped pre calculus for statistics

BAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNN! LMAO

Hay quá

Sir, what do you think is the better job? Sysadmin or network analyst/engineer?

You stay around DC area?

Do they make Miata anymore?
