I will start school in a few days. I was cut between cybersec and cloud. I'm happy to hear Cloud pays well as that was my choice. Great info! Thank you.

[y.e.w]

I needed this . I just realized I've been doing entry level cloud task for a while.😊

[damiensmith]

Didn’t even finish the vid, this is the first person to actually explain what an entry cloud position would. I’m about a month away from testing and really appreciate this so I can target my job search after.

The salaries here are interesting. I graduated with an associates In network and administration, I got my first it helpdesk role with a pay of 10$ an hour in 2013

Planning on joining Comptia for cybersecurity next month

Just go with whatever you want then just pick up the certs you need.

[CoachMitchellh]

Excellent video. Ive been in technical project management for a long time now and looking to try something different and something more skill/knowledge based. Your video really helped me to decide that next step.

Finally, someone is making a very informative videos about this topic

[frenllissanchez]

Thank you so much for this video, I work in the library in Ghana-Africa but I want to branch into Cloud computing and hopefully work remotely. @Nicole Enesse.

Information technology is the use of computers to create, process, store, retrieve, and exchange all kinds of data and information.

[stormchaser]

Tech is where it's at!! As somebody who is transitioning out of teaching into IT, I am amazed at just how many jobs there are.

[bigombre]

Started my journey to work in IT with cloud. I have AWS CP cert and started on the SAA course to do the test but I stopped bc I’m thinking cybersecurity may be easier to get my foot in the door without the degree and just certs. I’m really confused. Not sure if I should keep trying cloud or return to it later and start with cyber as the jobs I see on indeed don’t require so much experience.

[myhealthislife]

Definitely looking to get into Cloud :)

[bkeindl]

Nicole great video ! I'm new to IT and i want to go the cloud security route. Which classes/certs and in what order should i take ?

[neutranoticias]

Thanks for the Spanish subtitles Nicole so I can share with my business administration degree friends 😘

Just started learning the CompTIA+ 3 days ago .nice video as always

[lettdwn]

Awesome video! I do not have any degrees or certs yet. Just personal experience. Used Windows since I was about 13 (I'm 27 now) and would like to believe I have a decent understanding of how things work. I have good experience with Linux and in all likelihood have a much deeper understanding of it than Windows. Started with Ubuntu, switched to Arch and am now currently running Void.

I understand Firewalls, VPNs etc. The general stuff. Went through a hacking phase when I was a teenager and learned about wifi hacking, brute forcing, phishing, SQL injection and all that jazz but I'm still in the baby stages of knowledge in that area. I've always loved computers and have an absolute BLAST learning more about them so I can confidently say that I have the "drive" or "passion" that's really needed for the career.

Right now I'm pretty solid on working in Cyber Security aand would like to get started ASAP. Any and all recommendations, critiques or opinions are extremely appreciated! Even if I have to start a non cyber security job at first, that's cool with me. Thanks!
