This is my path> CCNA R&S - Comptia Cybersec - RHCSA - CCNP R&S - OSCP Python, bash and moving fast in Linux by my own way. Profit

[@huriabdul1]

[@marv8360]

Do you recommend any certs?

[@kristiangutierrez8287]

[@loganbat1310]

This sounds like YOUR self-taught study. Not everyone's self-taught study.

[@halaurent]

Excellent presentation. Anyone in IT or any other field should see this and practice the time management and goal setting that Keith teaches here!

[@TheRealGiraffe6]

Currently attending college for information technology cyber security. Let me just say first I loved the video and it describes this field very well. I’ve been working help desk and technical support for 6years. I already knew what I’d was I wanted to do as a career in IT and it wasn’t what I did at my regular 9-5 IT positions. I am mostly self taught and I get. Lot of praise from employers upon speaking with me after seeing my resume. Cyber security and analyst is what my goal is after I finish college. Looking to work my way into the cia or nsa.

[@gabrielosaji8920]

This video talks much of what IT expert do, what i really want to here is a career path way to be an IT security expert... now you are talking @17:30

[@gbadri1]

Hi Keith, I am committed to learn Linux and get my CCNP -in 2021. I loved your list of activities and plan to follow some of your and add what I need. Thanks Dude as always you Rock. So you are a hypnotist - Watched quite a bit the last 2 months and was fascinated and funny. Once again Thanks, be well my Mentor.

[@redeyes392]

Did you get the cert bruh

[@Garfield91076]

I actually watched this all the way through and it was actually really reassuring for me. In school I just switched my major to computer/cyber security from electrical engineering a few weeks ago but just found this video now. Thanks for the wise words!

[@LightningTrooper]

Thanks for support!

[@ArchNME]

I think your wallet is a great place to store your passwords. A lot more secure that on any electronic device. In the extremely unlikely event that your wallet gets stolen, the thief will probably not know what to even do with them, or not be interested in them at all. You will also definitely be aware your wallet has been stolen and can change all your passwords. I don't see what the problem is.

[@rfi-cryptolab4251]

You can store your passwords in your wallet fairly securely. I'd add a couple dummy characters somewhere in the passwords though.

[@Gratitude1305]

Thanks a ton for putting this very useful video. Feel Inspired...means a lot!

[@rfi-cryptolab4251]

You should be a trainer. A+ attitude and communication skills.

[@LeoCESS]

Great tips! Thank you for this video!

[@dietmtndewbaby]

This video was great. Thanks Keith!!

[@RamezDous]

Keith.. :D I wish I could work for you for some years. You would be a great mentor :D I watched many of your videos and CBT courses. I have learned so much from you. Not just technical knowledge, I learned much more than tech knowledge. Thank you :D

[@Timanator]

Great video Keith, your videos helped me pass CISSP.

[@sidneylc281]

Thanks Keith for your advice, I'm curious why you decide to get certified in hypnosis? To make sure you can control and get things done? I'm also fighting with getting things done, even if I disconnect from Internet I don't feel I have studied enough, there is always that distract me like my dog, I was considering in meditation or yoga or going to gym, but I was curious for your reason of hypnosis, maybe I should try that. Thanks for your courses in cbt, I really like them, more than the good content, for the way you explained it. Thanks you very much.

[@inggridgreen7538]

Very much appreciate the video- motivation with direction. Thank you sir!

[@huriabdul1]

Hello, I have no background in IT or Cyber Security, but I would like to begin a career towards that path. I was thinking maybe learning Microsoft System & Network Training is a good starting point. Any suggestions on where I can either learn or get certified in this area ? Thank you.

[@TheRealGiraffe6]

huria abdulhadi me personally I started off in college during work study. But I already had a lot of personal self taught knowledge before deciding a degree would be the best bet on furthering my knowledge. Learning coding helps, such as python, c+, SQL and other various languages as you progress. Learn to use command prompt, power shell. If you have time or really have a big interest in IT take the advantage of learning the parts of your pc and how they coincide with one another. IT has more than one path. It’s up to you to decide what is more desirable. My suggestion is to focus and work towards what you feel like you can see yourself doing as a career. Could be cyber security, database management, analyst, overall site support installing and imaging desktops/laptops. So it really all depends on what it is about IT that makes you want to get into it. If you have. Passion for IT in general, you open yourself to more possibilities and not just the one section of the career.

[@fadiaamar872]

Hello there! I like all of your videos and based on what have you said, I comit that I am about to enter the Cybersecurity! I also have two questions for you which are : Is it necessary to have a diploma from a university to find a job in this field, or by doing only the CompTIA courses would be enough? What online websites do you recommend to get these courses done? Thank you for your time!

[@cbtnuggets]

[@The3nlightened0ne]

I am interested in getting my ISC^2 Associate Certification. However, I have a basic understanding of Information Technology. Would the CISSP be too advanced for me? What would you recommend (learning) for a budding security professional like myself?

[@Ten0692]

I've been doing desktop support for about 17 yrs, and I've always had a bit of an itch to transition to IT Security or Network engineering. Desktop is a cool job, but I guess you can say that I have a hunger for a deeper level of IT

[@j.vosier6786]

XiphosΩ is desktop support hard and does it pay? Im graduating with my associates in information tech. In December

[@Ten0692]

Na, it's not hard at all. It does challenges you to think abstractly sometimes though. The best way to learn it though is to get involved. Practice on how to put a PC together piece by piece, and learn how to install an OS manually. Most of your skills and technique will come from your experience level, but it's very easy to catch on quickly. As for troubleshooting, that's where it can get a little challenging. There are some things you will understand, and some things you don't. Never be afraid to say, "I don't know, but I can find out for you". Most issues with PCs can be found on the internet, and then you can apply the solution from there, and count it as experience gained for you to use in the future. As for the pay, it tends to vary depending on the industry you work for. Big companies usually start you at a decent amount, and some employers try to hire desktop techs for cheap. The key is finding the right place to sell yourself to. If you know that you are worth more than the employer is trying to buy you for, don't be afraid to look elsewhere, or try to negotiate within reason. Most companies don't realize how important you are, so they will try to buy you for cheap. Desktop Support in my opinion is a 'crossroads' career, because from there you can see what you want to branch into, because you have a good chance of being exposed to other IT fields. You can stay in it if you choose, and actually be quite successful.

[@thomasxeon994]

I actually doubt about the fan speed, the fan speed increase it might be increasing of temperature, fan speed tune or maybe user setting. Unless the hacker are using lots of processing power that cause the fan speed increase...

[@kennethboadu9227]

Well Spoken. Great stuff!

[@buddy3387]

I am just starting on IT, I have no experience and I have only taken 2 1/2 of my IT courses. What do you recommend to get a head start? Do you think I could be accept for an internship at my level? Certifications?

[@cityguyable]

You ever find the answers?

[@cuddy90210]

Thank you.

[@Sammyi]

i commit to finish my cissp training in a week

[@jacobogunlade41]

Organizations are experiencing a significant shortage of IT professionals with cybersecurity skills. The economy stinks, big student loan, and the enthusiastic have no money.

[@dailyhiphoplive693]

I dont have a secret clearance but I have masters degree in IT cybersecurity Im a Air Force veteran how can I get employment ?

[@peaceful4you408]

Get internships. That’s literally the best way to get the experience you need. The only problem with internships though, is you almost always have to be a college student which sucks because most people can’t go to college or won’t for whatever reasons.

[@navtalitservices5743]

great video

[@KowennaM]

Hi! When you mentioned "EDS" that's not the same as "EDI" is it?

If you need to reward yourself for spending time with your kids, something is not right.

[@romebyoutubn]

Could you do a video on how to construct your IT Security resume? How do I translate all of these tips and practices you've given into "3-5 year" experience on your resume so that you can at least get into the door? Past the job filters and recruiters that might not understand the potential in a self starter that's constantly working on something but doesn't officially have a security position that they can put on their resume.

[@Fermion.]

It'd be hard to advise you without knowing more about your background, e.g. Do you have any certifications? What is your IT work history? What major projects have you accomplished? Etc. I'm not gonna sugar coat it, with no IT work experience, the chances that some company will give you a security job are virtually 0. Security isn't an entry-level type of discipline. You're going to have to present a proven track record of having the ability to administrate and troubleshoot devices, systems, and/or networks before a company will offer you a security position. If you don't have 3-5 years of admin/technician experience, I'd suggest working on that before even thinking about security.

[@romebyoutubn]

Fermion thanks for your honest. These are the types of things that need to be addressed in videos such as this as well. How to turn nothing into something. These tips are great but can only take someone so far if they don't have a entry point into the position they really want

[@Fermion.]

Do you have a home lab (physical or virtual)? What's your current skillset? I could link you to some of the resources I've used/using to work on my security skills, if you like.

[@kg-killa]

Fermion can u send it to me im interested

[@theolindsey3]

Can you send them to me too please?
