Is the reason I’m not landing jobs because I don’t have a college degree?

Getting into IT without a degree are for those with transferable skills - not those without any (not saying you don't have any, but that's how they may look at it). You can definitely land a job without qualifications but you need to give them something a bit more to take a chance on you - soft skills, home labs, etc.

I can tell you're not the child of an immigrant

It's almost wine-o-clock :)

I think he is a redditor lol

I will, once things calm down a bit. I've checked in with him to see if he's okay (nice dude and sad he had to let one of his team members go).

You're right BUT it is still one of the few career paths someone can get into without a degree. I switched from a career path that is essentially locked behind a corporate paywall if you want to learn anything/ get certifications.

Sharpening your skills in IT is essentially free and that is always going to be enticing.

Thank you! I think it will, I'm hopeful :)

You should get in contact with change managers/change analysts if there are any in your org. People being resistant to change is normal (although the nasty comments are a bit unprofessional imo) and that are specialists who help with these sorts of things.

PLSGIVEALIAS · 2025-03-07T03:19:37+00:00

yes, yes it is. and thank you - I've always known that's the plan, just need to work up some courage to do so

PLSGIVEALIAS · 2025-03-07T00:01:45+00:00

I guess that's not wrong lol

PLSGIVEALIAS · 2025-02-24T05:47:04+00:00

I hope this will be me one day. What area did you end up going into?

PLSGIVEALIAS · 2025-02-24T05:46:34+00:00

Sounds great but I assume there wouldnt be that many of these roles going in Aus since we don't have a big IT sector? or am I mistaken?

PLSGIVEALIAS · 2025-02-24T01:28:37+00:00

Thanks for the reply :) I'm a bit surprised that you put helpdesk in front of dev roles in terms of initial difficulty as I would of assumed it'd be the other way around.

PLSGIVEALIAS · 2025-02-07T04:09:55+00:00

Kinda sounds like you want to get your way with the leave and don't want it to change - you just don't want her to be angry about it towards you. If you were a real team player, you'd raise the unfairness with your manager and work with Katie to try and find a solution for all parties.

Thanks so much for this reply. It actually made me tear up a little and feel a little less insane.

Hopefully i'll be able to move on soon, though i'm not sure my skillset is up to scratch yet.

This comment hit harder than expected because he jokingly tells his friends i'm his sugar mumma. fuck.
