In this video, we discuss the benefits of doing my cybersecurity internship and taking my course. We will look at the statistics and job success rates for people who did both. This video is perfect for anyone interested in starting a career in cybersecurity.

We start by explaining what my cybersecurity internship is. Internships are a way to gain real-world experience while still studying. You get to work with professionals and learn how to apply your skills in a job setting. The experience you gain is too valuable.

Combining an internship with a course gives you both practical experience and theoretical knowledge. This combination can make you a strong candidate for jobs in cybersecurity. We look at statistics that show people who did both my internships and courses have higher job success rates.

We hope this information helps you in your career journey and gives you the confidence to pursue a path in cybersecurity. By the end of this video, you will have a better understanding of how a cybersecurity internship and course can boost your job success and set you on the path to a rewarding career in cybersecurity.

Those of us who have been watching you from the start know you are legit. And we thank you for it.

[JF-ifjh]

Just here to vouch. I got my desktop support position soon after finishing your IT course

[gloryokwata]

I just like your personality ❤ even though I'm not able to purchase this course at the moment, I've followed most of your labs personally and it's been very life changing for me. I wish I can meet those who bought the course and can't study it.

[keishab]

Absolutely loved the Cybersecurity course. Finally, I was able to put the theory I’ve learned into hands on training and it finally clicked. Thanks Josh!

[acekurylenko]

I bought your course and am planning on actually going through it fully next week. I am studying for my A+ and just finished Google cybersecurity. I am taking my test tomorrow for A+ core 2. I’m excited to wrap everything up with your course and hopefully join you in the IT world! Thank you so much for your guidance

[alexmalooley]

This course is 100% worth it. I was stuck in limbo after my Sec+ and this course helped me get over the hump and land my new role as a Security Analyst. Thank you Josh for everything.

At this point, any friend that’s interested in getting into IT/Cybersecurity, I tell them to get the Google cyber, Sec+, and Joshs cyber course. Optionally but I’d highly recommend is to consider taking his IT course as well, especially if you don’t have any IT experience. I was close to taking that too but I got the Security Analyst job so I don’t need to

[AHomicidalPear]

I like how you were as honest as you were for this. The numbers didn't look the best, but your transparency is appreciated.

I was thinking about getting this course when I finish my associates in Cybersecurity and Information Systems. Your honesty has helped put some of my uncertainty as ease.

I have watched your videos for a while Josh. I also love the fact that you travel to Thailand frequently. I have been a handful of times and worked remotely from there for 4 months. Based on my skill set and various roles in my 14+ IT career, the Cloud Security Engineer role seems a better fit for my progression. I am not a coder and I watched my dad code as a software developer and data architect for over 40 years and it's just not my cup of tea. I don't need to break the bank, location independence, not money is my sole focus during this time in my life. My goal is to work remotely splitting time between the US and Thailand while earning enough to sustain both with some to spare. I am planning to focus hard on accelerating the WGU's BSCC. I will start SDC this month, transfer credits to enroll at WGU by Oct 1st, and finish in 1-2 sessions max.

[MichelleGutshall]

Keep doing what you have been doing and make more courses. It looks like you're helping a lot of people

[EFHstParadox]

I personally plan to start the course later this month, and I look forward to being able to complete it fully and hopefully start my career in Cybersecurity as a SOC Analyst or just skip to being a Cybersecurity Engineer that specializes in firewalls. I’m glad you took the time to put together this video as I have been watching your videos to do research on the Cybersecurity industry for about a month now. I feel a lot more confident in my ability to succeed! Hopefully I’ll be able to make the statistic of 52 go up to 53 if someone else hasn’t already. Your videos have inspired me and helped me realize that a Cybersecurity career is definitely possible as long as I put in the work. 本当にありがとうございます！

[icecold__]

I agree, considering the amount of people that have actually completed the course those jobs found numbers are solid.
Can't complain about not getting a job if you don't put in all of the work, and you can't force them to go through it all to get a better idea of the actually success rate people can get from completing the course.

[matthewacevedo]

I bought the course. Haven’t finished it because it was recommended to get google cybersecurity cert. Didn’t expect to land a software engineer gig somewhere down the middle lmao

[thinhman]

I've been hesitant on your course for a while. I'm just gonna go for it. I am a bit scared that I'm not smart enough right now.

Around 7 years ago, I did get the 3 CompTIA certs and the CCNA, but I didn't do anything with those certs, so I feel like I'm back at knowing nothing again. I did the Sec+ CE recently, but those allow you to retake the assesments over and over again until you pass, so those aren't difficult to finish to renew the Sec+.

This fear of not being smart enough has also paralyzed me from going to WGU for a good 3 years now. But hey, baby steps. It would be crazy if I could get an entry level security job before I start WGU. Plan to save as much money as I can this year and start WGU in 2025.

[justingolay]

People probably bought the course and didn't finish it because they got jobs before they got through it. Then their time was spent training at their new job.

If they were ambitious enough to get the course, they probably have done other things to boost their stats as well.

[Liftheavy]

I went through the course and it was a great launching pad into other things I went through. I think the "internship" is a bit of a waste of time but it could be better if it had more structure. I already had some IT experience so learning and doing the projects was pretty fun. I just had an interview for a security analyst position inside my current job that I'm in contention for and should hear back hopefully soon about and everything learned in the course contributed to good talking points

[Trihope]

Honestly, I took advantage of a sale and knew I want going to start right away. My plan was to do the Google Cybersecurity first, but then life happened and changed jobs. So, my focus was taken elsewhere. Just now getting back on track to do the Google course first.

[DoomSayer]

I have my Google Cybersecurity Certificate and Sec+. I bought your course last year and pretty much finished it but I still want to redo it a few times to make sure I know what I'm talking about and doing before applying to jobs lately

[bryantgonzalez]

Hi Josh, I'm confident your course delivers on helping built a strong technical foundation however I was curious if your course helps with optimizing a resume to get a job in Govtech? I have a goal to start working an entry level Govtech role in the next 3-6 months that allows me to get a government clearance. If I can achieve this first step I believe it would help catapult my career.

[eddiemartinez]

Hi Josh! I recently did your SIEM home lab and was wondering if you offer just the internship part of the course? I competed the Google cybersecurity cert and currently studying to take the CompTIA Security+. I’ve added the home lab to my resume and started applying for entry level roles but haven’t had much luck.
