       Going to go back to school to be a Dude Named Ben. Any advice from a Dude Named Ben for someone with no coding experience before I start classes?

       @Dkaver just remember that the field of IT is MASSIVE. It's OK to specialize & it's OK to struggle w/ certain concepts & roles. Don't beat yourself up too much if you're struggling w/ a topic.Personally, I found great passion in the hardware of BIG systems that span many many racks. But ask me about a touchscreen device that fits into a pocket & at best its a 🤷‍♂️ if not 😡 . I only work in Linux. I won't touch a Windows or Mac system. One of my good friends only works Windows. Find what you enjoy

       @StackKorora Thank you for the response. My idea was to get a web developer certificate and see where that takes me. I figured that’s a good jumping off point.

       @Dkaver That's a big field too. Explore enough to know why you like a particular path. Ruby vs Javascript vs go, ect will all lead different paths. DevOps is a flashy name for a lot of different things, but do check Gitlab's annual reports for where the market is going & what languages/concepts to look out for:https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2021/05/04/gitlabs-2021-survey-uncovers-a-new-devops-maturity-model/I can't stress enough, find something you are enjoying then find a matching career. It's soul sucking to be on a project that you loath & the tech world is huge.

       @Dkaver If you are just doing programming, the same is very true. There's a big difference between C, Bash, Python, javascript, Fortan, R, Matlab, Rust, Go, ect ect ect. Don't chase the paycheck! Focus on the programming concepts & EXPLORE the languages. That will determine your career path. Some languages are more flexible in careers then others (eg: Python/Go). If you fall in love with Fortran, you best be good with Physics because only the big labs use it but it pays well cause few do it. 😆

       @Dkaver @StackKorora I like capturing traffic and analyzing it.
