21 y/o £47k/year AMA

So what's the job

Technical job

Has to be cyber security! Am I right?

No I’m a data analyst/scientist

very cool. What do you do in your work? Whats the stack in your firm?

I'm interested in doing an IT related degree with good job prospects and little maths involved what would you recommend?

How did you score the job? I have a degree in BA but can't manage to get anything..

You need to know some level of maths maybe up to AL. I’d say brush up on statistics. What are you doing at uni?

idk what to do w my life I despise maths with a passion!

no point having this conversation, IT ain't my thing, but that salary looks good!

Learning programming requires very little nmathematics, and in fact aids learning math...I can recommend taking A level computer science, or a programming course at some local university or academic institute, or one of the online MOOCS. I definitely recommend it.

Really one of the best way to learn math is to actually program some basic math.

Thankyou! I'm interested in cyber security but I'm not a computing geek at all I can see myself struggling while doing a degree through independent learning. I have no knowledge in IT behind me only BTEC IT while I was at school!

I'm a 2020 applicant so I'm in a bit of a dilemma choosing a career path

Ok, cyber security does not need much level of math, only for those cryptography people and thats not really much of a field for jobs anyway (I think).
I mean youre here online posting on a computer, so I think thats really the basic prerequisite for learning cyber security, that one can use a computer and the internet, has half a brain and can do basic language and logic (seriously, this is the starting point).

I wouldnt miss out on a cyber security degree if I were you (you admitted to be interested), the salaries are very high..the entrance requirements arent too much either, and the career growth is projected to be quite good.

Plus I think BTEC IT taught you enough. Whats with all this extreme level of self deprecation, lol.

Went to my third interview today and miraculously I got an email offering me the job (assuming I can actually do the job and they don’t sack me).

So AMA. I earn £47k (c.£175/day + bens) so after tax it’ll be £36k so I technically earn £36k.
