I am currently a full-time student at Colorado Technical University Online, focusing on the field of data management. Aside from school, I take courses on Udemy, watch a lot of youtube videos, and read books on SQL (O`Reilly`s Learning SQL, Packt> MySQL 8 Administrator`s Guide). If anyone is already in the industry and would like to give any helpful advice it would be much appreciated. I`m 21 years old going to be looking for my first internship soon. I have no experience in or around the technical industry. Also in terms of direction, some things you wish you knew going into industry or starting out would be nice. Although I am only a sophomore, thoughts on furthering my education once I graduate would also be helpful. I`m very interested in obtaining a Master`s degree. The general opinion over the internet isn`t actually helpful to me. Most of the people saying not to get a Master`s degree don`t have one so I find their opinion to be a little bias. Although the general consensus over the internet is still interesting to think about, I`d to hear from someone how has obtained their master`s degree. [email protected] ©
