Hi Mike stumbled across your videos after I maybe funded for a entry level cyber security course however I'm not confident that I will have a career in this as I don't have an It background and others saying I'm to old to start this career without getting a bachelor degree in computer science, are they right and it's wasted time with me been 35 years old this is something that really interests me and funding the course and having negative feedback puts me off trying.
