I am currently studying a Bachelor of Information Technology at Griffith University,
|
||||
opting for a no major or minor option. Having previously studied Computer Science at QUT
|
||||
from 2019-2021, I decided to take a break from study and focus on work experience. As of
|
||||
2023, I returned to studying at Griffith using the experiences I gained from both QUT
|
||||
and from work.

previously studied Computer Science at QUT from 2019-2021, I gained critical knowledge
|

on how computers worked at a low-level, and other concepts such as networking. Following

the COVID pandemic, I decided to take a break from studying to pursue getting hands-on
|

experience in work environments.

From my previous work experience, employers look more for relevant skills and industry
|

knowledge over the type of degree or the majors and minors you study. The mentorship I
|

gained from those jobs was what influenced me to change my degree over, and to not
|
||||
choose a major.

As time has progressed, my goals and ambitions have also adapted. Initially, I wanted to

be a systems administrator. Upon reaching that goal, I shifted my gaze to what I wanted
|

to do work towards, setting on cybersecurity. Given that the industry is ever-changing,
|

I felt it appropriate to not hem myself in to a single major or minor.

Griffith University has also been helpful in engaging me with industry panels and
|
||||
experiences. In early 2024, one of my units had a panel with some industry experts who
|
||||
discussed what the future of the IT industry would look like. Coming away from that
|

panel, I felt better about the path I had taken. The experts all agreed that the
|

industry is an ever-changing field, so it really doesn't make sense to stay comfortable
|

with a single expertise.
