I realize there's a typo in here, has nothing to do with my lack of degree, that's just my laziness and being all over the place.

Really like your genuine and no-bs style. Your journey is also very inspiring. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience. There are many people including me in same boat, who are without degree or experience. This definitely helps

Thanks a lot for sharing your tips and journey. I really liked what you said about rejection - "Becoming comfortable with rejection is skill set on it's own" wow.. Wish you all the best in your journey.

The part on 4:00 onwards - where you might not have dependency, but there are many who are in a similar position like you, do not make use of that to their advantage. Thank you for being sincere on this specific part and the video. It motivates.

[colttonn]

0:00 Intro
0:43 Lean on resources you have
1:46 widen the pool of places you are applying to
2:03 Correction: I said "I didn't even go to high school here, I was living in South America and did 2 semesters, then dropped out" I forgot to say *of college. Yes, I did graduate high school, then I did two semesters of college then dropped out.
3:01 Be open to cloud adjacent roles, just because "cloud" isn't in the role title doesn't mean you won't get cloud experience
4:40 Move up instead of out?
4:50 Be smart with your money, later on, it helps if you need to take risks in your career
5:42 network, grow, start a blog, keep studying, start a youtube, document your journey

I've been watching your videos and I'm absolutely inspired by your journey. I'm 33 years old and looking for a career change after working in Tech Sales for 5 years.

Hey thanks for your video! I'm trying to get into cloud cybersecurity, and currently I work as an entry level AWS admin. I'm hoping to get AWS certified soon and move on up the ladder. I really appreciated that you mentioned to move up, not out. I feel impatient sometimes in trying to attain my goal, but I just gotta keep on working towards my degree and certifications. I'll get there eventually. Awesome video, seriously. Thanks

I found your channel today and I only can say is awesome! thanks
