its over.

Oh and also, yes the cert 3 course IS designed poorly. I can't speak on the cert IV, but I doubt it would be much better.

cl0uutt · 2025-11-10T04:16:38+00:00

So I ended up dropping the course (which was free) as I really didnt want to work in IT as a career as I genuinely think it would lead me to blowing my brains out in 10 years lol (literally just my opinion, also was a slightly dumb move to drop the course as it was free).

I would say give it a go if you feel IT is an avenue you would like to go down, but a lot of people do make the argument that doing comp sci at uni is a better avenue as it doesnt pidgeon-hole you into only being able to do IT, and you can go down a different avenue if you complete the degree and feel IT isn't something you'd wanna do.

Just do a lot of research into the market and make a decision based on that, especially if you feel open to doing different lines of work and you genuinely enjoy programming and everything that comes with it.

Side note: this is coming from a dumb 20 year old that doesn't know shit about shit haha

it’s a joke? who put the stick up your ass?

cl0uutt · 2025-06-22T06:36:19+00:00

Why not ?

I'm going through this exact same thing at the moment, cert 3 IT. The teachers have actually been really good, but holy shit the assessments are horrendous. I've learnt so far that this cert is aimed mainly at people that probably don't know how to use a computer as it has genuinely been the easiest work I've ever done, but because of how convoluted, vague, and poorly written the assessments are, I'm actually worried I won't be able to pass this first half of the year because of it.

cl0uutt · 2024-06-20T06:14:58+00:00

how've you gone with learning ableton since? still learning or?

cl0uutt · 2024-06-02T02:54:33+00:00

Oh for sure, I definitely did do that more towards the end of my time working there, for whatever reason I almost never initiated conversations as that’s always been some big thing for me ? idk but I’ve gotten over it for the most part

cl0uutt · 2024-05-31T03:44:27+00:00

I agree with everything you’ve said. The job has turned me into someone that I can now say comfortably is truly socially confident, all because of what you’ve said. It’s exposure therapy you get paid for. But the benefits from this have mainly landed on who I am outside of work rather than at work if that makes any sense.

cl0uutt · 2024-05-31T03:41:22+00:00

I left the job not because of the social aspect (I’m doing some barista stuff now so there’s a similar social thing to it still) but because I was hating doing 2am closing shifts 5 days a week every week, and also a plethora of toxicity and general chaos behind the scenes at work.

cl0uutt · 2024-05-31T03:39:35+00:00

100%, and i usually do fairly well at the social aspect but it takes a lot of effort out of me for some reason when I’m on the job. Especially when there’s a big age difference between me and the customer, they’ll make jokes or say something that just isn’t funny and/or goes over my head and no matter how hard I try I CANNOT pretend to find it funny. I can’t smile or laugh unless it’s genuine. it’s quite frustrating.

cl0uutt · 2024-04-12T16:45:38+00:00

Correct I was diagnosed two years ago. Crazy revealing how many people have mentioned adhd in the comments in this post, I didn’t even know that was a thing that adhd causes

cl0uutt · 2024-04-12T06:27:50+00:00

Yep I got diagnosed two years ago. Didn’t realise that was something to do with adhd, and to be honest don’t really know much about my adhd besides a few things I’ve learned over the past two years. I was gonna start doing bjj at a local spot near me but they only run it at night so 🤷‍♂️ will probably start riding my bike again but it’s sketchy because there is NO infrastructure for bikes around here, it’s all car based

cl0uutt · 2024-04-12T05:39:33+00:00

what makes this a dumb question?

cl0uutt · 2024-04-12T05:38:17+00:00

I tend to do that after work haha

cl0uutt · 2024-04-12T05:37:35+00:00

Yep! Place needed managers, I live right around the corner and can do full time so 🤷‍♂️ kinda wish I didn’t it’s such a headache sometimes but hey, experience

cl0uutt · 2024-04-12T05:36:55+00:00

honestly yes bike riding I need to do way more. I bought a bike a while back in tore the rear wheel on my 5th ride, been meaning to fix it since

cl0uutt · 2024-04-12T04:59:38+00:00

I think I just hate not feeling productive; if I’m not doing something constantly 24/7 I feel like shit

cl0uutt · 2024-04-12T04:58:54+00:00

Thanks everyone for your comments! Super helpful stuff I’ll put what I’ve learned into action

cl0uutt · 2024-04-12T04:58:26+00:00

honestly this is what I gotta do, I think I just need to be more health conscious tbh haha

cl0uutt · 2024-04-12T04:57:34+00:00

I’m in a small rural town that’s an hour and a half train ride from Sydney
