Overall I think there was some good content here. However, I also think this is very narrow. IT is a very broad field. It is more than just help desk and help desk management. I'd really like to see content on the more complex areas of IT. For instance, enterprise architecture, systems integration for satellites, weapons systems, etc. Cybersecurity, IT service management, agile, scrum, portfolio management etc. There are loads of jobs that aren't at the keyboard, and IT degrees are a lot more transferable than people give it credit for.

Thank you for this content Shane! Now I have a better understanding of the IT field. For feedback purposes, I didn't like the fact that you didn't separate the time in chapters as the last interview; in the last video, it was easier to follow along and come back to check the specific parts that I wanna watch again. Lastly, I would love to watch an economics graduate student; I'm very interested.
