Sir how about OSCP??

[@mavrick1297]

Thank you Colin. Is the network and security plus certifications international. Thanks

[@scottch4444]

Also, the eJPT entire course/labs is free with an INE starter account. So, you only have to pay the voucher fee for the cert.

[@johnczech7074]

Colin, you are the man! Thank you sir. Very informative! Happy holidays!!

[@mgusa9372]

Hey Colin looking for advice on my job search. Currently a Spanish teacher but looking to leave b/c the pay sucks. In the last 5 months I obtained (Google Data Analytics Cert, Google Project Management Cert, Comptia Security + Cert). I have a limited budget to pay for more certs/training. My 2 questions are: 1. What type of jobs/pay would you say I am qualified for now? 2. How can I buff my resume even further but inexpensively? Thanks in advance.

Hey what happened to you? You don't make vidoes any more and you blog link doesn't work. Are you still around?

[@takaoda5266]

Thanks for your informative video. I have network+, security+, and now. Heading towards good security engineer, What do you think kind of the better way to get there? I do agree that certs help me a lot to study and self-confidence. Because I am a beginner too, I think like this now. Study scripting especially Powershell > Cysa > CISSP What do you think about this? If you advise about the path or "the things beginners should do to enhance their security way, that would be great!! I already bought some books and video courses about Powershell for this winter, so I would like to get your advice about kinda mid-term or long term perspective for security beginners like me (only 1 year of security experience) Sorry, I wrote too much but I am very eager about security too.

[@XxAlex530xX]

Can you update me? How’s work been?

[@yashikamalhotra2352]

how about a bachelor's or masters from a top university like I m having ec council university in my mind, will it be more benificial?

[@moonaj89]

My work is going to reimburse me so I feel like I might as well go ahead and finish my degree. I'm getting it in cyber security. So my question is if I'm working on my degree should I also be spending the time on these certifications?

[@lizziesoddprojects2120]

Thanks for covering these certificates! I started working straight with 0 exp, and have listenend through professor messer comptia A and Network, and will be taking the security +. Could you list all the certificates in the description box? I would love to check out the others

[@ContractHacker]

Hey Lizzie, here is a list of 7 certifications that I recommend for beginners! cybercareerschool.com/7-best-cyber-security-certifications

[@XxAlex530xX]

How you doing now?

[@lizziesoddprojects2120]

@@XxAlex530xX Hello Argonaut, I'm doing really well at my work as cyber sec analyst and also threat intelligence writer. I took the Network + course but failed the exam. I'm waiting to pass my drivers license, before trying a second attempt. I really reccommend it if you barely know anything about Networking. It has helped me understand how alerts are triggered and sort between false and true positive triggers.

[@XxAlex530xX]

@@lizziesoddprojects2120 thank you for your response. That’s awesome! Good luck on your drivers license exam. So, I’m starting an associates degree in cyber security in community college it starts this September. I have been listening to Professor Messers videos. I believe when I graduate I will have my COMPTIA, Network, and security + certs. So I have a few months before I start that course do you recommend I should be doing something right now? Other than watching a few KZbin videos?

[@lizziesoddprojects2120]

@@XxAlex530xX That sounds amazing!You will have a good start then if you get those two. I'm so lucky to have my workplace pay for my course, so I got access to Comptias own learning portal and exam practice portal. Especially the latter is amazing. I also saw all professor Messers videos, but reading the information and doing the lab exercises at Comptia has helped me really understand. I bought professor Messers notes for Network +, which is fine but I havent used it much. If you can get a free trial subscription to Pluralsight, I reccomens the Network + videos from Ron Bagurdes. I recommend really nailing down the OSI layera, and all the componenta that fit into the different layers. I found different analogies for it and drew a drawing for myself. Lastly cram.com has some good free memory cards which can also be played as the "Jewels of wisdom". I made a couple of decks myself, which you can find under Lizzioy.

[@Wordlife1103]

Hey Colin, would you recommend the SSCP even if I already have a Security+? If not what do you think I should go for instead?

[@ContractHacker]

I would not, you should look into getting the cysa+!

[@PrincePalmUwU]

so someone with no experience can be very difficult and challenging? such as myself? should I even pursue the pentest route? or what?

[@TsokasPictures]

What about CEH?

[@abdulhakeemdoctor2257]

Sir how we can develop interest in IT field

[@blueminty100]

I'm a junior in college right now studying cybersecurity, and I have my sec+ cert! I am still yet to get any actual real world experience yet but I think I am in a good place currently.

[@ContractHacker]

You are in a very good place right now! Enjoy the journey and you will be very happy with a rewarding career!

[@GabbiPhoebe]

I’ve been getting hacked I’d like some help with it.

[@oliverwindsor]

What about CCNA?

[@frittatas8551]

I dont know if anyone will see this, but I am pretty much at a loss of what to do. I have both the Sec+ and CySA+, a bachelors in comp sci, and Ive been stuck in Desktop support roles for 5 years. I have had a total of 1 cyber security interviews, I blew it and didnt get the job. My question is where is the best point to go from here? I dont know if I should go for another certificate like SANS or CEH, but it seems near impossible to get another interview, and I can feel the knowledge I gained from these certs leaving my brain. The only thing I can actually think of is to take another shot in the dark with another cert, but Im not sure. If there is anyone out there that has some insight, please share it.

[@j.vosier6786]

What type of cyber security are u trying to do?

[@johnvardy9559]

Why net+ and not CCNA? 🤔

[@abdulhakeemdoctor2257]

Road map for AWS Ccna Linux Msca AWS

[@NiteshKumar-yz1wr]

Can a 12th passed students earn compTIA security + certification plz tell me sir,

[@timmyhuynh3859]

i think only you can answer this question

[@kdub1666]

"SANS courses aren't cheap" is an understatement. It's a pound of flesh regardless of the course level. $7k+ for intro to cybersecurity is ridiculous.

[@SuperChelseaSW6]

Hello sir. Where to apply entry level cybersecurity jobs?

[@thetruthsayer8347]

Lol

[@saucyisawesome]

Just about everyone

[@bchristian79]

I like your videos but your volume is low even when turned all the way up. Thanks. It may just be me
