how are the job prospects looking for you? currently considering a bootcamp

[@pjf4397]

Congratulations, I would recommend staying away from boot camps until you get your first job. You will see what is really needed in the job field and then you can look at more options for learning and find the best boot camp you need. Or learn on the job and in fun online groups

Thanks so much for watching the content, I'm glad you found it! You can definitely get into the field! Once you have a good baseline of knowledge, I've that most cyber jobs are relatively easy. The hardest part comes with other people, depending on what you're trying to do, haha. I have a video about this coming eventually :)

[@JoshMadakor]

Lol 12 hours, that's so long

[@gerardquimbo]

@@JoshMadakor yes sir, the physicality of standing for 12-13 hours, working in a hot kitchen and mental aspect of dealing with customers and staff dealing with all the madness of the kitchen. If you ever watch the Hulu show "The Bear", specially the first season, it deals with a lot of challenges in the kitchen. It is physically and mentally draining. I'm ready for a change so I'm looking at cyber course on your website or the Course Career for IT. I'm just trying to figure out which one I go for. Thanks again!

[@mustaphaattah1896]

Another great video! Josh on point as always

[@Geomaverick124]

Hey Josh...have you thought about selling a light version of the course with an option to upgrade later? What I mean by light is maybe removing the access to you and the internship components and only selling the vids...kinda like a coursera model. Selling the light version for $50 to $100 could increase volume...where 1 out of 10 may buy the course at $500, 6 out of 10 may buy the light version and if 1 upgrades you make a profit. Just a thought😊 Keep up the great work otherwise

[@amjads8971]

For CISSP, what are the pre reqs? I m always confused if I should go for it as I have 10+ years of IT experience in Architecting cloud solutions and it includes security architecture experience as well

[@JoshMadakor]

Cissp dews are 5 years working in 3 of the domains, 4 if you have another relevant cert or education. You don’t need to have a dedicated security job, just need 4-5 years experience in one of the cissp security domains :). I recommend getting it if you wanna boost employability to the max

How would you rate Dakota State University's cyber operations bs? The curriculum seems like you'd get a good dose of computer science as well.

[@JoshMadakor]

I would honestly rate it very highly, it just depends on how much time/money you want to spend because it's def gonna be more than WGU for instance. But the program itself and the school is very good I'd say

[@Noc___]

@@JoshMadakor yeah I’m trying to figure out the price difference and whether it makes sense. What would be the equivalent bs at wgu that teaches a similar curriculum?

Hi josh quick question, i visited the site of the supposed course and you mentioned in a video there that the price will be 497-500 until May “2023”? Yet it’s still 497, though I don’t have any problem with that at all since I’m still a student (will be a big help) - if that really is still the price. Can I ask for a confirmation as to when exactly will this “497” price tag ends? Thanks in advance

Possible. The problems come when moving up. Think of it this way- if you're competing with someone else and everything's equal except the degree, who wins?

I see your point, but I have to disagree with you. First of all this is the "cheapest bootcamp" on the subject. They usually cost thousands of dollars. Second, they've invested hundreds of hours and put a lot of effort to create this comprehensive course which is current, btw. Finally and most importantly, if it's too inexpensive it becomes devalued and those who enroll will not appreciate and understand that there is no free lunch. You got to make some sacrifices in life to achieve your goals.
