I guess it depends on the school. CIS degrees where I'm from was more programming than theory like CS is. There were IT degrees for networking/IT work.

Breh a lot nikkas just trying get to bag as quickly as possible to improve their circumstances. I don’t fault them.
However, the theoretical aspect can take a back seat initially when starting off. My goal is to help brehs attain a stable position where they can earn a decent salary, even before completing half of their schooling.
As black men, we're aware that stability isn't guaranteed, whether it's in terms of family, housing, or employment.
To be honest, a significant portion of my job could be handled after completing a single college-level SQL course (@HaitianPatty), with the rest learned on the job.
@Striving For Greatness ,Interestingly, I had a similar conversation with my nephew, who's a freshman CS student and struggling with math. I shared insights about those challenging weed-out courses. I also emphasized how individuals like @Obreh Winfrey don't rely on those difficult math classes in their careers. So, opting for the CIS route appears to be a more practical choice, especially considering the significant overlap and the option to take computer science electives.
I think he meant to point out that schools aren't all following the same conventions with their degree programs, where CIS was more IT at my school, but CIS was in reality computer science at his.

Yea say It’s Malcolm-Jamaal Warner .. use Warner and see if your resume gets more hits, if it’s different effect then *surprise* racism but if not then you know the resume gotta get fixed up
I could use my middle name. That's less black sounding.

Truth is you have to be willing to be uncomfortable. All those tough projects that no one wants to be a part of, dive in head first and learn as much as you can. Learn all you can, develop as many skills as you can, and be willing to go elsewhere. Rinse, repeat. I've been with my employer for a minute but that's because they took real good care of me when I was about to leave. Now I'm trying to get into the ML/AI space and I've already told myself to get ready to start shopping that resume in a year or so. To get to the salary range you want, you have to be prepared to jump ship every 2-3 years. It sucks but employers aren't going to pay you your worth unless you force their hand.Yes entry level, making 50k before taxes. We basically pre configuring devices for our customers, nothing crazy
Nice! There was a breh and brehette on my team that studied kubernetes. Both found employment else where shortly after being hired to my team
I'll definitely give it more thought and sort out a path
Thank you brehs for all of the input, it will not go to waste.
I was unemployed when I first signed up here after losing my 1st IT job and you guys along with a few other things inspired me to get back into it
I'm still in the office and Monday is a holiday. If my manager want wasn't here I would've dipped like an hour and a half ago.
Even the office manager took off at 2.
