A Day in the Life - Computer Systems Analyst

[anmllvr234]

hey guys im trying to be a freaking network administrator or database administrator. which one is better guys?! im doin college work now!

[garybatesrsc]

I love analyzing systems regardless if they are computers or biochemistry or economics, evolutionary dynamics, politics, game theory! I just like understanding how dynamic systems interact with one another and trying to maximize efficiency.

[juancarlospaco]

Oh my, Linux girlz are prettier...

[jaybrick8920]

wat major does this fall under

[Classicnovaguy]

@jaybrick8920 the video tells you.

[Solado]

Going into IT was the biggest mistake of my entire life. I have a degree and MCTS - and my salary is shit and its so hard to get into another company because they are so heels dug into the ground - They already have there own neat little ICT team, so its VERY rare they let others in... If your thinking of going into ICT along the lines of this work (Systems Analyst ) really dont bother.

[jaybrick8920]

@Solado wat is your salary

[Solado]

@jaybrick8920 £14,500 a year with NO bonuses; the work is out sourced to other countries which is one of the major problems people in india work for farless than we do. No matter how good you are; you will never be paid your worth in ICT. And as i mentioned before; your going to struggle to get anywhere because in IT they expect you to not only specialise in 1 area, you have to know 3-4 areas ontop of that. You work to the bone for peanuts. Even with my qualifications im thinking of leaving IT.

[jdstyl3s]

they said this is 1 of the top 10 growing field...employement rate is expected to grow over 20% through 2018. If u love computers this is the field for u..im currently looking around for the right school for this field...any reccomendations would be great. Msg me if you know a good school for this in california

[MidNiteR32]

And you need a 4-year degree for that? LMAO. Don't waste your time kiddies, get a BS in computer science and become a programmer/engineer -- a real career, not a technician that only requires basic knowledge of computer systems.

[sergeantRC]

If you are the type of person who likes to think and talk about things but never do them, then analyst is the job for you.

[stevomwa1]

who gets paid more, computer system analyst or Software Engineer/Programmer?

[locolalo1364]

@stevomwa1 Analyst since they are as mentioned here teaching the programmer about the system...

[hairlesheep]

Which is better (in your opinion) this or computer hardware engineer!!?

[180cming]

Today ,Systems Analyst is mostly known the head of analysis programmer or programmer, it not really about the computer hardware / network system.

[jorganbon]

Phew i dodged a bullet. To think I actually wanted to pursue this career. No offense to anyone, but it looks seems boring and miserable as hell.

[cdemoneya]

@jorganbon

we get excited when new stuff comes in, then that excitement dies very quickly and we're back to youtube and facebook. :)

[jorganbon]

@cdemoneya guess my gut was right.

[mclarenf45]

the problem is most SME don't know what a System Analyst is, neither do programmers, they don't do any design they just go directly to coding, that's like a building a room without any design, they don't know what analysts can bring into their organization that is the problem..

[bygmikeee]

This video makes it seem like all you do is study computers to get to this career. But at my target school (Cal State Univ. Northridge) You study business with emphasis on information systems. The video made it seem like you just need a general understanding of business to work in this field, but why does BUSINESS come first at my school?

[IronChariots]

Looks like this job involves lots of pointing at stuff.

[robertdelossantos]

Vm ware would reduce alot of networks physiacal sizes in the future

[ar9senal]

Thiss is sooooooooo goood :P

[hellzlostboy]

This is what i want to do

[eazzy40]

i know many system analyst with a bachelors in information systems.

[agreen2k7]

Im doing a two year foundation degree for IT, then im moving onto an honours degree and maybe a masters degree. Is this enough for this career?

[kevin10987]

@agreen2k7

You need more than college degrees to get a job as a computer system analyst. You need experience. You need to try to get hired on at Wal-Mart for customer service experience, then move on to Best Buy for additional customer service plus computer and electronic equipment knowledge. Then get hired by a computer repair business, then move into help desk technician, then with your degrees, you could be considered for a "computer system analyst" job.

[bluejimmy168]

@kevin10987 LOL ur crazy man.... you dont need do any of that.... walmart?? wtf?? why not get an internship and work as a software engineering and get experince that way?? best buy?? lol..go to school to get A+ certified and a Computer science degree... dont waste ur time in best buy or walmart... agreen2k7..

[kevin10987]

@bluejimmy168

Look at who's correcting me. My structure and usage of English grammar is a lot better than yours and you are telling me what will get you that type of job.

A computer system analyst is a job track for "Computer Information Systems" or "IT Technology" degrees. Computer Science is about solving problems by writing code. "Computer Information Systems"and other "IT Technology" degrees is about being able to maintain and manage the equipment and software.

[ruslancool1]

kevin10987 is crazy, he can work at wal-mart all his life lol... but im going to study and go straight to training!

[hk2004GR]

It must be really hard to study but it surely pays back later on ! Good job for the video .

[NightJay0044]

This is a good career. It's what I'm giong into right now.

[Bunfire123]

Thanks for this upload.

[alio122000]

This is the best video on the web, it helped so much.

[eliezeralpr]

good ! this is a real day into the Computer Systems Analys.

[digitalnicko1]

Just wanted to say also this course prepares you well for your job right? you wont end up going out and not know what to do sry for the stupid question, its just that i want to get everything checked out

[NiGhtMarEs0nWax]

fuck doing this course, if youw ant to be taken seriously go to uni, study computer science. nuff said.

[alio122000]

Don't you need a Computer Science degree to become a System Analyst?

[NiGhtMarEs0nWax]

yes, more than likely, but mycareerx wont be very credible.

[Bunfire123]

Or anything related i think?

[digitalnicko1]

Hey guys im really looking into this, I heard that they start the classes off as if u havn't and any computer classes in high school is that right? I want to get my bachelors degree in it. anyway how do I start as said below i just get into one of those classes and stay into it for what 4 years and thats it or are there some prerequisite classes what? I really need your help and your is greatly appreciated thnx

[CareerRx]

Dear Digital - Congratulations on knowing what you want to do. Your question is on target. There are three types who go into IT. 1) The ones who study IT in school 2) those who have an incredible knack for figuring it all out and 3)those who combine both. It is important to get more training as technology changes daily, so go to your school of choice and talk to them. They will help you assess which classes you need vs. which you can skip. Good luck, CareerRX

[racinvr8]

You need a 2 year diploma or 4 year degree in either Computer Information Systems or Computer Science from a quality, accredited college.

Note: Computer Information Systems is more practical and hands-on, while Computer Science is more heavy into math and theory.

Either way, the courses you take in either program should prepare you well for a fun and prosperous career in Systems Analysis.

[irock292]

Dont waste your time - get a CCIE.

[digitalnicko1]

are you sure racinvr8? just making sure and for irock292 what is a ccie

[Ruwaydah]

This seems like an interesting career. What are the necessary subjects required in persuing such a career and what are expected earnings and demands for such a job?

[abcdfghijlnopqrst]

you usually need a 4 year degree like it sayed in the video and the best payed place to work is Washington (not dc) and noobs in washington make $36 an hour and experienced people make $43 an hour and when im old anough im going to get a degree in computer science maybe get 6 years so i can start out with more money and a better chance for a job
