WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW WON’T HURT YOU. WHAT I WISH I KNEW WHEN I STARTED IN IT (PART ONE)

September 26, 2017 by Theresa Miller Leave a Comment

Recently I wrote a post for Solarwinds Thwack. Its interesting, because I wrote a small series that covered why in a way ignorance is bliss. Sometimes what we don’t know can be our saving grace, that being said I also share some insights into what I wish I had know when I started out in IT. This comes in two parts, so let’s start with part one for today!

That’s not a whole lot of detail to start from, but I was all in.

At the time I certainly didn’t have the foresight to understand how big this IT thing would become.

Done with college, done with learning
