Thanks Jon!!! Very informative and well said. I know I definitely want to work in a Technical role...I particularly enjoy Incident Response and Handling

[@JonGoodCyber]

I'm glad that you enjoyed the video and thank you for sharing! Knowing what you enjoy and where you want to go is a major part of effectively using the time that you have and maximizing your return.

I appreciate this video. Can you do a stepping stone video for becoming a security architect?

[@JonGoodCyber]

Security Architects typically progress through the ranks to accumulate enough knowledge to reach the high level but there's not an exact path because it can vary a lot. I recommend starting with my free eBook ( jongood.com/getstarted/ ) and becoming as familiar as possible with all the technologies used in an organization. Once you understand how they work together, start thinking about how you can securely design a network around that. Besides that, it's just about getting experience in designing and implementing technologies in your job.

Great video, can you do one on actually how to break into a few of these jobs with out without experience or should a say traditional and non traditional routes

[@JonGoodCyber]

The best place to start for that is grabbing my free eBook ( jongood.com/getstarted/ ) where a lot of that information is already documented. Additionally, I have videos on different job types that I've had and what was important in those jobs.

Id like be a cyber engineer/architect, What cert should I take next? I have a sec+ rn, and I about to graduate college.

[@JonGoodCyber]

I recommend checking out my Getting Started page ( jongood.com/getstarted/ ) where I lay out the skills and certifications that you should pursue. That doesn't mean don't apply to those kinds of jobs but you should apply to all entry level IT and Cyber Security jobs to at least get experience as you build your resume.

Curious about the multitude of individuals online offering free guidance and the resources guiding others on this path. If this career path indeed offers well-paid positions in high demand, why are there so many individuals helping others attain it? While they assert the need for more talent, it's natural to question their motivations. People usually don't help without a reason. Is selling a dream more profitable than the profession itself? Why are they selling me this? I'm unsure; I would appreciate any insights. What am I missing?

[@JonGoodCyber]

For starters, look at all the requirements for the laws and regulations around data security and privacy. It's impossible for somebody to wear all the hats that are required and generally a bad security practice to combine all the roles. Technology is great but it doesn't solve all the problems or requirements from a cybersecurity perspective. Speed is another factor in implementing or improving cybersecurity and that's pretty difficult to do unless you have more people. I can't speak for these "other people" that you speak of as I do think there's people with the wrong motivation, but the people I'm helping aren't my competition...in an ideal world they are part of the solution that will help solve problems.

The REAL answer is that you get paid for KZbin, and most of these people have courses or websites they promote. If you look at any other in-demand position, there are videos like this. Because these KZbinrs want you to click their video or buy their specific course and you get more views talking about in-demand and hot jobs. So nah, they’re not really lying about these jobs being paid well and in demand, they’re just taking advantage of that fact so they can capitalize off of it.
