Here I am as a 32yr old man looking to get into cyber security because I’m tired of working different jobs. I need a rewarding career. Thanks for the video boss🙌

Great video Ben!! I completed my Google Certificate recently but some of these entry level jobs are asking for like 4 or more certifications. It's insane. Thanks for the insight.

I like your video man . But the discount code doesn’t work for me I don’t know why ? I just start studying for security plus .

Thanks Ben although I couldn’t pass my security 601+ exam, I’m still trying other ways to get in after completing my masters🤣 So these videos help a lot!

27 min ago is crazy, thanks for the tips. For me it was either this or SWE, but i didn't want to become a code monkey and code stupid widgets no one will see. Cyber will be boring but its kind of interesting and i know i'll get burnt out, but i think every job ever has burnt out.

Thanks Ben! Any cert you can recommend for GRC jobs?

Hey Ben I’m new here but I’ve already subscribed. Thanks for the advice and I have a few questions regarding where I am in my career now. I haven’t really started since I’m still in high school and am looking to get a degree in cybersecurity. Should I take these courses now or wait til college or even after. Also is college the right way to go for cybersecurity? Thanks

I'm almost done with my Google cyber security certification and as a beginner it gave me a good idea of the role and what I need to learn. Will it be okay to do the Security + even though I haven't done CompTIA +?

I don't have any experience in cyber security. How I start my
journey in cyber security from zero, and I don't have money to take course in the center so how I study it by my self then I get a certificate to start entry level jobs in cyber security

[taahaaijaz]

if I learn all these certifications for free from youtube can I start applying for jobs without buying these certification what is your opinion

[heatherfeather]

Thanks for this! I'm looking for a career change and I'm interested in cyber security

Hi Ben. It would be great if you can reply to this.
So I started my masters in Fall 2023 and I did my bachelors in mechanical. I transitioned into Masters in Cybersecurity.
I have 7 months of IT internship exp
I have done Google cybersecurity, SEC+, BTL1, And HTB CDSA(in the first 2 semesters of my masters). I am also giving my CCNA in August. Plan to do CYSA+ and CCD before my masters end.
I made my university CTF team too and we participate every 2 weeks. I am making a SOC LAB too for my resume and I maintain blogs as well.
Is there any else you would recommend?
