Certs are the gateway to learning the core knowledge to get recognized and apply that knowledge to real-world projects.
No different, in the (grand) old days, how university degrees were "supposed" to give that same baseline knowledge to prepare someone for the professional world.
Certs have helped me tremendously develop a core understanding of the tech, so I can be more confident with clients and their projects. 🙂
Bearing all of these points in mind, in my (humble) opinion you should run after a certification only if you plan to make a living in that vendor's universe. I.e., get a CCNA if you plan to work with Cisco products, or a VMware cert if you plan to market yourself as an on-prem virtual engineer.
However, if one is only dabbling in these technologies on a day-to-day basis, she's right, no need to waste time when you can just create a project or read the vendor's white papers with how to implement their solution.
Thank you for a very thoughtful and insightful comment. This is great advice based on experience :)
Certifications do 3 things.
1) They help you pass the keyword search when recruiters are scanning resumes.
2) They give the hiring manager a barometer of what you "should" know.
3) They give you a structured learning path.
Thinking they do anything outside of that is a fairytale
Exactly. She is acting like the application tracking system (ATS) does not exist.
@@CarlaJenkinsTV i do agree with part of the statement though. There was a time when anyone with a cloud cert got 200k a year.
Right now the world is fully of people passing Cloud Practitioner wondering why they are not getting a job paying 6 figures the same day.
@@CarlaJenkinsTV Did you even watch the video? With the sound on? OP did not say anything that contradicted the advice in this video.
The market is now distorted and best ways she described no longer work because of the ATS .
@@tinashemadangure8140 Yeah, Before anything else Resumes needs to be shortlisted
Anyone that says certifications DO NOT help with landing a job or helping are people you should not listen to, bc they are mad that they either cant interview well or have a good resume. Do the certs, they are cheap and they help.
The only thing I would argue here is that "cheap" is relative. I agree with you, which is why in this video I recommend people take 2 certifications that will best align for the role they want and build projects that align with the certs.
Yeah i agree it’s almost a prerequisite. I think the host was just saying things evolved, which I agree with and I’m involved with frequent hiring for cloud programs under my business portfolio. She’s still saying the Certs are good but that more practical experience is also good to combine (vs just doing more certs).
I’m currently about to start skillstorm surge, is the financial aid easy to deal with ??
I am starting to learn cloud and just stumbled on your video randomly and it turns out you have whole path to the cloud. The universe sometimes just helps you out :) Thanks for all of this!
If you apply for a cloud role you may not get past HR unless you have a couple certs. They ask for it in the job description. It’s expected that you would have it. It doesn’t make you stand out but it’s now the bare minimum. I agree with everything else you said. Definitely need projects to talk about in the interview.
Hey, what kind of projects who I do? Cloud isn’t like coding/programming jobs where you can do projects like softwares engineers.
@@jonnymcgrath4816 Tech With Lucy has a video about cloud projects
@@jonnymcgrath4816 You can do a wide range of cloud integrated project, but can't depend on cloud solely. So, integrate cloud with some other domain that can carry over the project, but make sure to show and make it's structure to look like it's majorly implemented with cloud and the other domain is only a part of it.
Ways to start a project, based on your understanding on whichever cloud platform you are using,
1. Look for research papers.
2. Gain knowledge from that research paper(which needs to be relevant to your sub domain and also obviously cloud as well)
3. Get an good knowledge on how you will be integrating that project and interfacing it with your sub domain. Then continue doing the project you will learn along the way. 😊
if u have worked on projects it didnot matter ...for freshers vets matter
@@prodemon7678 I myself is a fresher, still on college doing my third year and third year projects 😅. After consulting like 10+ mentors and a few industrial experts, it came to diving deep into it without prior knowledge and hands-on experience is not a good way to gain knowledge. Reading and analysing then getting a better grasp of your domain(which is cloud for me, and my tool of choice is AWS) will give you a better understanding on from Why, where, and how to start and do a project. But, after all it's my individual opinion you choose any other choice of yours if you have one. I went for research papers to know how to start and do a full end project after serious consultation from professionals. 😇
This is very American advice. In Europe, certification is what gets you to the hiring manager and need to soft skills to demonstrate your attitude and a bit of real world experience to demonstrate your ability to work with others. Anyone can build a greenfield stand alone project, but its hard to create a new solution from a legacy bespoke project, maybe for a local social group or a school or local business etc. Create one and learn to talk about it at both a small and big picture level and you'll be glad you took that associate exam to get you an interview!
I'm American
@@MadeByGPS I got that. My point is standards are higher in Europe. My comment is more for your viewers than for you. Love your mic stand, by the way! ;)
@@user-pc2dz3bd3u Appreciate the input. I wouldn't say standards are higher, they are just different.
Second this. In (Western) Europe you dont even get considered without a legit certification. Unless you’ve been working heavily on projects that can showcase your talents. But then again it’s quite rare because here we just love to study and aim to be certified lol
this applies in Eastern Europe as well, proper certification and how you sell yourself during interview is the king@@HI-bw8fe
18 year career. 6 years in University IT. Many certifications. I find it that when I put my Cloud experience too heavily on a resume... I get no responses. I think it's the, and I am not, "Smartest guy in the room syndrome." I have used Azure and AWS tools at multiple jobs. I find I get, "Too smart for the team", responses. I am an IT Specialist. I have to dumb down my resume. I definitely feel like the hiring manager thinks that I want to be a manager. No. I just like building and fixing stuff.
Thoughts? I don't have the time, if I sleep, to build out a blog or teach what I know that is already online.
Yes..plenty of recruiters call. Incessantly. But, I get to the team and if they use cloud, and do, they don't want anyone else to with more years experience.
I think you should write something like this in your cover letter!
It really matters to speak from your heart, instead of doing the usual “ive done this and that”.
Good Luck!
Just become a lesbo and say you are part of the LGBTQ community and you are becoming post-op trans. You get hired. I am in the same shoes. When you put too much on resumes, they do not interview because you have 100% skills on job requirements, when you put less, they want all the requirements. Everything is for nothing but if I say on my resume I am LGBTQ I will get hire. They want only LGBTQ and feminazis or women.
Hi Mitch, my entire professional experience has been in higher ed. I finally broke into my first IT role (Tech Business Analyst) at a University. I just recently quit cuz I wanted to focus more on programming and less business, my managers didn't like this and kept reeling me back in. I want to get better and do more tech skills. Can I ask what university's you recommend? I still want to work for universities. I have an MBA and a CompTIA Security+ cert. I'm thinking of obtaining the AWS Solutions Architect cert. Also, do you recommend any job titles? My recent job I was basically a Workday Integrations Developer.
I love that u r a straight shooter. No bs in video. I appreciate it a lot
I’m happy to hear this, and your approach on cloud in general. It’s so refreshing, and I’ve felt this way about cloud certs. I’m just happy to see someone that emphasizes implementing the cloud concepts in projects above all.
I completely agree - do you think you should renew your certifications if you currently have a lot of job experience? Or look at just attaining new complementary certifications to get a larger scope of skills?
Great advice, I like this outlook - thank you!
Thanks Gwen. This is very helpful and provide great insight
Wow....impressed on your take. You basically hit on a lot of the thing I believe and see.
The whole Cloud Certs mania reminds me of the early days of when I was doing my first MCSE...back then- around 1998/1999- everyone was on the MS Cert train...And that mania led to a plethora of "paper certified' engineers. Basically people who had the Certs, but no background, skills or hands on experience. Oh they could answer questions...but no real hands on in the field.
The field is where you will put that knowledge to use and then gain skills needed to troubleshoot etc... After all real life production environments are much different than a worded scenario on a test. LOL
Stating people should start with the first one entry type cert (assuming of course people have their fundamentals down first) is a good. And I love the whole do a project to showcase that cert skill.
That's a great idea. Especially in this day and age where you can build out a project online, for free and showcase it.
I also agree that in 2023 companies, recruiters etc.. are looking for the kind of people who are able to handle various areas. Not specifically a master in one.
The only thing I can think to add here is that if one is new to starting out on this road? Make sure you have your fundamentals down. Hard.
If you are just starting out on the IT path then knowing the fundamental cores is a must -- think CompTIA's A+, Network+ --and/or Security+.....even Cloud+ ....know and understand CLI and as Gwyneth mentioned, scripting. You will need those. :)
Thanks for your input here Gwyneth and Cheers!🙂
Wise words here and thank you for the advice!
I have some experience with freebsd, linux, and some programming languages(I struggle though). I am trying to build my own projects and have used a.i to help me somewhat(I try to use it to explain the concepts and the code line by line, though a.i is what helps me finish some of the projects and I don't like that). Should I continue to try to build the projects, and get my certification in aws and comptia+? I struggle with programming as it is.
The righf video i needed to see at the right time. Thanks a million 💯
This is great. Thank you for sharing!!
It might depend on where you live, here in Sydney Australia if you don't have a degree, Certification is the main factor that will attract the attention of the recruiters. After certs then they will ask you about your experience, and if you're at entry level you're going to have to walk them through the projects that you built relating to your certs. Otherwise forget it, your resume is not going to make it to the hiring manager's table.
Hey since you're in Australia too, what are your thoughts on the learning people? I was searching for online certification in cloud and they seem promising but I'm not sure if they're worthwhile. They'd come down to around 8k for a handful of certs. It's a lot for me.
@@Brisingrr_ Waste of time and money, they already have so many negative reviews, if you're looking for cloud training for your cloud exam there are better options that cost a fraction of that price, checkout - Tutorial Dojo, Acloud Guru, and Cloud Academy.
Very good video, thanks for sharing your experience with us
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome video, so on point and very encouraging. I'm in the business but want to share this with my son who is considering options. Your detail is awesome. What tool did you use to write out your frameworks. Very visually appealing. All the best!
Love your content I’ve seen some videos that inspire me to get into tech
very helpful and a study plan too amazing and outstanding.thank you
Great advice and video!
Hey GPS, thank you for your advice. I love how you keep these cloud fields real. Btw what Windows theme is on your desktop? looks dope
Very helpful, thank you so much !
Been following you recently i instantly subscribed you
Great video. How do you showcase your projects for prospects? For example, If I’m early into Azure networking focused deployments and Powershell, do you typically have a public repo that displays scripts (Pshell/bicep/terraform etc)? How do employers then know you truly wrote and understand those deployments?
Oh thank god! I have ADHD so sitting to study and sitting to try and pass an exam is sooooo difficult for me. and is why I've never managed to get one.
I learn by doing, so creating an online profolio is soo much easier and do-able. Plus you actually learn the material for the real world
Hey what's good GPS! Hope all is well. Thanks for this great advice as usual! I've always followed your advice on all things cloud. I'm in the learning phase so this video really helps me in terms of what to do NEXT! So thank you once again for your teachings and all that you do for us!! Cheers!!
They've been saying that since the 90s but TBH having them is noticed by emplyors and HR departments but I also like your frame work too.
I stopped worrying about acquiring certifications and started focusing more on actually learning and applying that learning in projects, as you've mentioned. If a certification becomes required by an employer, then fine, I'll get one, but I agree that they don't seem as important now.
You also have people getting these certs who honestly don't know anything else outside of that environment, and I think it's turning off a lot of employers.
SELF TAUGHT , Step 1 attend BOOTCAMP to be taught, but then get out and claim to be self taught!! YOU KNOW!!!
Such an inspiration.
You really helped me a lot by clearing my doubts regarding cloud but their is a small request if you can make a video my telling sources regarding AWS it would be really grreeeaattt
Thanks for your insight! Right now I'm focusing on my first certification just because I obtained a free exam voucher through the Microsoft Learn Cloud Skills Challenge. Once I'm done with it, I will continue my focus on others skills like the ones you mentioned. Question, do you think its "smart" to learn splunk before other skills like programming and linux? Appreciate your input in advance.
Linux a big YES. Most servers are running linux or on linux, most cloud things run on Linux Servers.
Programming, you do Not have to be a "Developer" but learn some python for "scripting", as in you don't have to be able to write a whole full-blown application BUT it's a gamechanger to know enough python to write a small script, which can AUTOMATE processes/system configurations/repetitive tasks!
(Writing Bash scripts in Linux is similar, they complement each other)
So basically you "need both" yes, but not on Expert Grand Jedimaster level.
Hope that helps :-)
Oh, GPS has a great video playlist on Bash here on YT 👍🏻🤘🏻
These are facts! It took me a couple years to get a cloud job after doing the AZ 104 and AZ304/305. What finally helped me break through was when I decided to do the cloud resume project. Certifications themselves only get you so far.
Thanks for sharing 💯
Certs get you farther than not having them. Stop acting like the application tracking system (ATS) does not exist.
@@CarlaJenkinsTV Why are you spamming this video? Do you own a cert training course or something?
@@CarlaJenkinsTVwhat is that
New subscriber! I do have a question where would I be able to find or if you can recommend projects/labs that I could work on for Cloud Devops? Im going through the GCP cert but I have no experience and currently not working. I want to be able to put what I learned into action to place in my resume or Github. I apprecaite your channel and what you are providing !
Acloudguru
Thanks a lot
Ty 🙏
I am so happy that I found your channel. How can I join the course?
You aren't lying! I checked several job posting myself for Cloud or DevOps Engineer and very few mentions a Solutions Architect or an associate level certifications. Most they would ask is a Cloud Practitioner or AZ-900. They put more emphasis on practical hands on experience.
If you have experience in the world of cloud technology or even worked with a company that uses cloud technology get your cert. I worked in television for over 15 years and I decided to get certified in cloud technology. Every bit of education is good. Not just for a job but for your own portfólio.. Keep pushing being educated people..
Good advice
What kind if projects should I do? I'm thinking about creating a small load balancing solution for a website using app gw, front door, and layer4 load balancer. How big does the project need to be?
I have some project idea videos for you to checkout. github.com/madebygps/projects
I came from electronics amd computer information engineering background. Right now, im a genesys cloud emgineer, whatever that means. Feels like im bit lacking as my other colleagues graduated with cs degree. Thank you so much for this video. At least i know what sort of certs that i should aim for.
May I ask why you transitioned from Electronics Engineering to Cloud?
@@Xarishhersorry for the late reply but short answer, couldn’t get electronics engineering job, IT pays well here in my country.
Great video
I work for a cloud services consultant company in Brazil and want to expand my knowledge to work for companies outside Latin America.
I will for sure do projects after passing the AZ104
Your content is awesome, thank you
i want give exam az-104 after few months..i want to walk with you cloud job..can i get your what's app number or instragram linl or anythink?
hi @Gwyneth , i am a frontend developer trying to move into cloud engineering. Should i start on getting the cloud practitioner first, before getting into associates as i don't have much experience on cloud other than git, vercel, deployment etc.
Start with the Solutions Architect Associate one. Then migrate all your web projects to cloud, using different AWS services- this should put you at a massive advantage.
Where would you recommend we do online certs though?
I have ccna and just finished studying security +. What cloud cert would recommend
Hello GPS, power platform Developer could be an entry job?
Hello , what’s the difference between cloud engineering and devops engineer
While it’s true that certifications are not the most important thing in the world they will show some expertise in each technology , so they are not useless for instance lpic Linux certifications will show your Linux knowledge, and everyone should really get network+ and security+
I dont let these videos discourage me. Why havent we closed universities and colleges? They are all "certification" driven.
How does the oci cloud certs stack up?
I have previous experience as a technical project manager primarily for mobile apps but I've used AWS quite a bit, I really enjoy the solutions architect role as described by others and would love to pursue it.
I know the certificates are helpful in grabbing an interview but, I know my previous experience in business level processes gives me a bit of an advantage. I'm just looking for somewhere to start where I know I can develop my skillset enough for this role without wasting too much of my time (I HATE managing mobile apps - too repetitive)
Thanks.
look up Mike Gibbs
Heyy GSP, I've been struggling to see why my bootcamp taught me Java and Azure 900 and have struggled to find influencers that have been using both. I've been feeling really down about it
Thank you so much for plugging Chris Tremblay!
How about those software developer roles that demand AWS certificates?? I see a lot of those lately
How realistic is to get sysadmin/ network admin role as a first job, without having any Helpdesk experience?
Rare
Can you join classes for an architect knowing nothing heading into it? Or should you have an extensive background already what do you think ?
You could but it might be difficult at first to understand.
Can I get benefit from RHCSA in addition to Azure?
Man, I am considering this cert and trying to reinvent myself at the ripe age of 40yrs old 😮💨lord help me... Trying to find the best program to go with.
❤❤ good content
Thank you for the advice . I lucked up and got a job with a MSP with not an ounce of experience and I’m trying to navigate how to grow instead of just existing at this Tier I level. Glad it’s working with a cloud platform but I need more structure and a plan so thanks for just giving sound advice .
You could probably get lots of Active Directory skills there, one of the pillars to cloud :)
Cloud certs are almost definitely needed atm.
Did you watch the video?
After I get my Security+ and CCNP, I plan to get a couple AWS certs, including Architect, data analytics, and maybe a AWS security cert. I want to get into data analytics as well as cybersecurity and networking. You think I'm doing the right thing? Also, AWS is the most widely used Cloud, including by the US government. You agree with all this?
Pick one domain bro
Got you. Also, I found the IBM full stack course on Coursera, which is a cloud computing course. What do you think of that?@@pinkpenzu
I feel I should at least start by getting a ccp certification for aws. I'm interested in work from home opportunities and I feel aws can provide me with oppportunity for that. I could start by maybe selling aws products?
You are awesome
Thanks for the content.... I luv u....😘
i love you too
God d***. great video 🤯
Thank you🤝
As an IT Manager - you don't show me a Cloud Certification, you don't get an interview.
What if they show you 2 cloud certifications and 2 projects, as I recommended in this video?
Or if they have years of experience?
I am AWS certified. Should I do Azure or Google Cloud as well? Some Indian companies are asking for multi cloud knowledge. Or can I use AWS experience to do projects on GCP or Azure?
Does one need a computer science degree to work on Azure?
@@atuldwivedi3959 No! Learn Azure, Do Azure.
Pick one and be the expert in it? It’s like you’re a back end engineer but they’re asking you to do full stack lol. Aint gon do it.
Big Facts... If I could do it over I would have put Linux and Python first.
Well what I understand about the certification, is not necessarily to secure the job but to know or navigate the subject at hand. Delving deeper is an individual's responsibility. Same as it was even before. If you had certification, you just prove that you know the subject to a particular level at minimum which then could help you secure an interview where the employer gets to know better about your skills then in most cases an assessment. But should you only claim to have some knowledge, it hardly gets you even closer to the door where they get to know you better. In my view, nothing has changed about certification. They never meant to say one is an expert on the subject, but they were always meant to prove that you know the subject to at-least a particular level.😊
What cloud boot camps would you recommend?
I don't recommend any. If you need a guide checkout learntocloud.guide
What are your thoughts on Bachelors degree in Cloud Computing?
Waste of time and money. A lot of employers these days are dropping degree requirements. I have been working in IT for a decade with no degree or certs.
@gwyneth your smart. what I realized late in the game was that I was just running on a hamster wheel. All those certs wont mean squat in about 8 years. They are good to go for early in your career, but honestly you need to focus on saving as much money as possible. Then learn ways to use that money that you saved to make you rich. Not sure where you live, but once you have $500K, you should consider not working for any one. Start a small business doing something simple and make your self rich. I am not saying IT is bad, I am saying its a hamster wheel. A golden hamster wheel, but still a hamster wheel. You have to have a plan for getting off that wheel. if you dont, you will be stuck on it untill you die.
Indeed, that is something I plan on focusing on next year. Leaving NYC is the first step.
@@MadeByGPS I saw another one of your videos, where you talked about buying a house... don't. Buy a building if you can find one. But don't buy anything unless there is positive cash flow
Wow probably best advice I've read in awhile
aws solution arch associate+ kubernetes cka+ terraform+ python = a strong desired candidate
Even in 2023? I’m a software engineer, and it’s getting harder to get software engineering jobs. I’m thinking of dropping everything and get as many AWS certs as possible.
Do I need to learn python for a Cloud admin position?
If I were you, yes.
For me..cert helps me to find the correct way to study without wasting my time doing research in internet..more sharp to improve your skillset....but if you have plenty of time (which i doubt in professional universe)..go on with research and study method..
I freakin hate cloud. But gotta do it 😅
Do you use any of the AI chatbots to learn with? If so, do you have a video? If not could you make a video? lol
But wait up! Cisco cloud certs on the horizon with no Cisco Press material. Wait for them to get some cert chasing profits in. Then you can tell em
This is unmatched. I recently enjoyed a similar book, and it was unmatched. "Mastering AWS: A Software Engineers Guide" by Nathan Vale
Experience plus a cert matters. Most the time wo experience just not enough knowledge how to actually apply it.
Certain LinkedIn jobs have those Quick Apply buttons literally asking for the specific certification. If not, it's probably rejected right there.
Did you watch the video?
My attention span is 1 minute - and the title got me started in the wrong context. 😢
I see a lot of people these days just collect certs that aren't working in the I.T Industry which is be misunderstanding what certifications are ment for. Certifications like a RHCSA or CCNA were really designed for existing IT professionals already working in the field since you some prior hands on experience. I support RHEL7 and RHEL8 in my current role as a Linux Admin with no certs or degree. I plan getting my RHCSA soon while i apply my real world experience with Linux to the RHCSA exam.
I agree
@@MadeByGPS also I wanted to add, once certified will give you a bump in pay in the near future over non certified candidates. I think certifications are more of a metrics for measuring your proficiency in a specific technology but alone doesn't equal real world experience unless you had some side projects or a home lab you worked on for quite some time. I notice employers really look for people with right skill sets to perform a specific job and willing to learn that has a passion. Even College degree requirements are going away. I worked with one guy that went to school for Networking and that even told me College didn't help him at all getting into Networking since he ended up working in Desktop Support. He said he hated Programming but I told him Automaton and Programming is an essential skill set to have if you want to purse Networking. U can do so much with Ansible configuring routers and switches or even cloud networks. DevOps automation tools, Scirpt Programming (Bash, Python, PowerShell) and Linux is where it's at.
Anybody who is having software engineering or equals full time work experience. And who is authorised to work in US. And willing to learn Cloud technology and do certification?
Certs don’t matter much id hire someone who knows their stuff during the interview if you know your shit your hired
You remind me of Epsilon from Pluto, same personality
Is that a show?
Hey GPS nice caps
Go Yankees!
Top-class content, indeed. A kindred book I explored had a profound impact on me. "AWS Unleashed: Mastering Amazon Web Services for Software Engineers" by Harrison Quill
1) this comment section is more spicy then hot sauce lol 2) I am still getting a developer and DevOps AWS CERTS 3) I think ima also use your roadmap 4) thanks for the video
to get hired they still ask for certs. mostly professional these days . talking about USA
Did you watch the video?
@@MadeByGPS yes , make it short it’s too long
It’s 7 mins… gotta improve that attention span.
I work on RHEL systems and I have no certs or degree. Usually you get certified later on aftee you had some real world experience.
Daft Punk ❤
Your advices are good but dont forget your case is not universal, as others said , a newbie wont have much to display besides certification and knowlegde from sandboxes , however as you said it was a niche few years ago , first AWS cert was published 10 years ago , and back then was already outdated cause AWS changes so fast , but we are going into the same banashit as with windows certs back in the days , where HR mandates you to have it , and people sits few weeks to beat the game and get certified but have zero knowledge about everything related to the basics of IT in many areas like networking security dev database and so on ....... recently AWS removed the labs from some exams which mean you can get it without real field knowledge .... same story as with microsoft

Yeah, passing a Kurbernetes certs back than was a huge deal. The only practical certs that actually matter even til this day and AWS doesn't have any off that !
Agree. Cloud certification not important..
It's just a piece of paper
Ridiculous amount of info to master. Even with certification, you still need a MS in computer science and 10 years exp. I only use the free training for highl level mgmt knowledge.
Watch the video before you comment. I clearly recommend taking 2 certs. Stop wasting time cert chasing, focus in on 2 and build projects.

Linux + 1 Cloud Associate certif. ? Which Linux certification do you recommend.
I had only one Linux cert when I was a beginner. RHCE. Do any good one.
She is clearly full of it.
Depending on the context and positions you are seeking, Cloud Certs or other kinds of Cert for that matter, most certainly DO matter. Do they matter for every position, context, or company? No, of course not - it's a tautology to even have to posit that.
There are so many different career paths with Tech, even within specific niches, that it's absurd to propose one set of guidelines for any one thing or person.
I've been in IT for 35+ years and reinvented myself at least three times, each time required new training/education or at least a reup to existing skill sets.
The real absurdity is hiring manager-morons who still lend too much credence in college/university degrees even to get hired for low to mid level roles.
I worked in academia for 8+ years and know how the 'sausage is made' - many young people coming out of college, even with a so-called Masters in IT (MIS), are largely clueless - they have NO idea how businesses work, little acumen regarding processes or systems, and many cannot even speak or write coherently, or communicate effectively - all of that comes with a diversity and depth of experience.
Before I engage with you... did you actually watch the video because reading your comment clearly shows that you didn't.
As much as I think this channel is great, charging $12 to low income people for a picture when you're making over $150k is not cool. I'm honestly disappointed you'd do that.
Okay let me make sure everything I ever do is free just because I worked hard to make 6 figures and I don’t deserve to charge for anything ever again.
Get outta here. She don't owe you anything and you sure as hell, no matter how poor anyone is, have a claim on anyone's hard work. If you want to slave away for free go ahead but don't demand it from other people
Forget you…. Elon should give cars away for free.. Jeff should give all free shipping to everyone since he soo rich… apple should not charge low income people for different gigs on iPhone we should all get 1tb for the 60gb price lol. I don’t understand some people’s logic
If you don’t have $12 and are on CZcams watching this video. You have bigger problems my friend.
