I am a former infantry Marine that transitioned into Cybersecurity. If I can do it, then so can you! Keep watching videos like this and many others out there to help prepare yourself. I personally went to college and received a "former" education in Software Development with a minor in Cybersecurity, however, college is not needed and not for everyone. After I was offered and started my first job in the industry, I was curious as to "why me." What set ME apart from all the others. My boss told me it was because of my labs. I setup home labs (and they were NOTHING crazy) and learned new Operating Systems and new skills. He said after I was done speaking about my home labs, he knew I would be a great fit for the team and not because of what I knew but because I had a drive to learn. In this field you have to want to learn. Once you stop or think you know everything, you fall behind on technology and best practices.

Damn by starting the video off immediately with the answer, it actually had the opposite effect and I watched the entire video. You gave the answer to the title and that hooks the watcher because they immediately get a sense of a genuine want to share knowledge. Thanks for the video, friend. Respect.

Thanks for this vid. I’ve spent so much time watching 20-30 mon vids on where to start as someone with no experience and I’ve gotten no clear answers till now! best 5 mins of my life thank you for being so straightforward in this vid!

[sugarskulllyfe]

@2:50 agree 110%!!! about knowing what and why your securing and how it works.

[CyberTronics]

For me personally it was cyber security that raised sufficient interest in me to learn the fundamentals, which I previously had very little interest in learning.

[goldielox]

this answered alot of my questions so thank you and I look forward to understanding the fundamendals because thats where most of us who have no experience in programming need to begin

[JSONSEC]

100% on learning computing basics / fundamentals. However many grads and people interested in Cyber Security refuse to learn this and want to go straight into pen testing.
As someone who tries to hire juniors, the amount of people not willing to put in the hardwork is mind blowing....

[ghost-nqpx]

a true hero, answers the clickbait within the first 1 second of a video, saved me 5 minutes of life

[marcelngale]

Best video I have watch all my life watching YouTube videos especially on my IT career journey thank you 🙏🏽

[danielmontejo]

Thanks a lot Grant for sharing such a simple video but very helpful because of the insights it gives and the resources you gave, I found it a very valuable piece of information. THANKS A LOT !

[nicckollas]

Thank you for the video! Great! Im beggining in cybersecurity and can see fundamentals is very important for understand concepts very hards

[jonathanrizzo]

I wish I would have known this information before I started my cyber security class. I'm lost and now I feel like I have to take a step back and learn this.

im rly thankful for this, especially right now with the current trend of going to cs for the money, ive been feeling rly disconnected bc it felt like cs wasnt really of any use to anyone, aside from corporations and whatnot. cybersec kinda quells most of those fears and this was rly helpful in giving me a path to start learning

[brixfrancis]

I'm an IT grad but after 5 years, I still have no experience in the field because I went to switch my career to art and game illustrations. Now I'm wanting to switch back to the IT field because I'm unsure about my future in art. I want to have a job in Cybersecurity. This video helped me where to start over again in fundamentals. Thanks!

[jagspatel]

Defo a great vid. I've been away for a while from my degree back ground now looking to go back on my fundamentals...hope to start a new path! See you all on that road

[cristinacc]

I didn't really know what I expected but this was way better. So much useful info, links and courses. Thank you so much!

[andreabill]

Grant, I just found your channel. I am so thankful and I look forward to learning from you and managing risk.

[David_]

I 100% agree. That’s how I’ve gotten my career started; first in IT and then onto cybersecurity. It’s very tempting to want to jump straight to pwning machines. But a strong foundation of knowledge is critical when dealing with technology.

[samael]

I got my Masters in Cyber Security and am now getting ready for the CompTIA Security+ cert. You definitely need to know how stuff works before learning how to secure it. Cybrary is a great resource for both IT Security and fundamentals as well.

Good thing I started my course on IT support specialist on Coursera first, I had a feeling that it would be a good start from there and move on to other practices and thanks for the video very informative.
