What I Wish I Knew Before Getting Started in Cybersecurity

[@UNcommonSenseAUS]

Yep everyone is covering their asses & pulling up ladders.

[@Gigi-zy1kx]

Yep. It's rampant now

[@BigSunshine11]

Mentors don't even trust their students nowadays

[@Gigi-zy1kx]

It isn't the destination its the journey. One of my first jobs was working in a grocery store bagging groceries, i wasn't saving the world at the time but i had fun and some of the best memories in my life came from that experience.

Well said!

@@collinsinfosec Thanks Grant. Take care of yourself.

[@Zacharias810]

Thank you! I work in a high burnout field as well. Always take care of yourself and be well.

Just started nucamp cybersecurity on Monday so far it’s a lot of information I have no background in cybersecurity or anything just warehouse and brewery jobs the last 10 years so I’m excited to learn this field this week did get overwhelming any tips or recommendations on books, websites, so I can learn as much as I can aside from the boot camp

Why people don’t talk about open university cyber security courses??

[@JeanJosue-h1u]

Good morning! I m haitien and lm very interesting with that cour

[@talhasial-mu6od]

I'm a BS telecom and networking student. I'm also interested in cyber security. Can i learn cyber security by myself? And is it possible to get a job without having a master degree in cyber security?

[@johndank2209]

Can you Elaborate more on the "not needing passion anymore"?

[@collinsinfosec]

In my opinion, it's more about your work ethic, dedication, and discipline rather than a passion. A passion surely helps but they can come and go through life. Work is work. I read a book called "So Good They Can't Ignore You" by Cal Newport which shifted the way I thought about passions and work.

[@BigSunshine11]

I need a mentor 😭😭😭😭

This whole thing was a fucking AD

[@collinsinfosec]

*Classic KZbinr response*, sponsorships help me build new projects and improve. I have tried to decrease the amount and type of sponsorships, leading to more of an integrated type style, with 60 - 120 seconds overview rather than a dedicated video, I also provided a small yellow line where you can see how long it is. Take a look into SponsorBlock if you don't want the interruption or don't want to skip 👍

it is not but it it is at the same time🦍
