Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions, comments, suggestions.
I'm going for the Net+, CySA+ and the Linux+ because I'm doing a minor is cybersecurity for college. If I have these three certifications, I'll only have two do four other classes to get the minor. So that's my motivation! Also, if anyone is reading this and is going or planning on going for a Cybersecurity degree then you'll likely be required to get these certifications anyway.
Did you have any experience in IT or tech before this? What if one does not have any IT experience at all? Would you recommend any course before the step of security plus
I’m new to this what would you recommend. I also have Darril Gibson book and wanted to know if you took notes to better understand the information if not what did you do to better understand the information?
Third option, a lot of people miss Its the 2 year associates degrees at community colleges. Its a mix of the 2 you mentioned. Community college associates IT degrees (There is some I've seen that are like systems administrator+ cyber security etc community colleges usually have multiple IT degree paths including ones that transfer over to university level IT degee) are honestly probably the best way to get into IT, bachelors is I'd say the second best, self study certs isn't a good way to go anymore... maybe 5-10 years ago it was, but it's not now. Community college, many of those IT degrees there will set you up with the ability to get 6-8 certs in the 2 years you'll be there, ntm in your final year a lot of them have a co-op/internship class that will count as like 3 credits plus you get paid and work experience before you graduate 2 birds with one stone, where they literally set you up with an internship, make sure the community college has one of those classes if it doesn't, meh. So 2 year community college, 6-8 certs, final year Co-op/internship...its a great way to get into the industry imo. I'm gonna be honest, i don't think IT at the bachelor's level is worth it for most people, if you are gonna go technology bachelor's degree, I'd say CS, EE, or Computer Engineering. I really don't see IT, cyber security, information technology, Computer information systems, degrees at the bachelor's of level are worth as much as CS, CPE, or EE.
Thank you for this, I just decided to take the security+ exam yesterday. If you don't mind pointing me in the right direction to this whole new thing for me. I graduated as an electrical engineer, doing a PGD certificate in Applied energy management - Renewable energy.

Every one keep saying you can get Cybersecurity Certifications without a degree all the Certifications programs I'm finding require at least an associate's degree.
i just start reading from the book when i finish the first page of book and come on 2 nd page i forget whats in 1st page i dont know why its happen with me and some time i dont understand can i have to make ?? pls help me i wannt job in cyber security 🥺
For someone with no computer experience whatsoever, where would you recommend to start? And what is the fastest way to learn about all of this without a degree?
Hey Colin I got a question im just starting out I love your video this really was eye opening and helped me walk away with a good perspective. Would you recommend getting a computer science degree with a concentration in cybersecurity? Im a father of two and im restarting my life and my education in a manner of speaking. I want to go into this industry the right way. But I dont know how or where to start off. Im gonna go to school but I want to make sure I don't waist my own time in the process.
I just started my bachelor degree for computer science/cyber security at Colorado technical university online an if I keep the current course load or take more classes could be finished in 2 years
I am NOT looking forward to taking this exam, the school I am attending will be going over this exam, starting June 26 and I will be taking it about Sept 21st, so the course of study for this exam is about 12 weeks, but dam, this course and two additionally courses over two term. I am not sure if 12 weeks is enough time. I am expecting to take my SEC+ or or about June 20th or later, have about 7 weeks later for that exam. Do you think 12 weeks is enough?? I am only getting them, since there are offered as part of the program.. Shooot, $30K for an associate degree with SEC+/CySA+, I was already A+ and Net+, so I convinced them to purchase me Cloud Essentials and Cloud+, but still waiting on that, these I will take much later in the year.
I just took this particular CompTIA exam yesterday, and I did pass, but between the Security+ and the CySA+ exams, completely two animals! Security+ is very basics of cybersecurity and considered entry level, but the CySA+ is more like a high intermediate or low level expert. My recommendation is know about encryption, how that works with the proper protocols and know how to read the logs are presented to you. The simulations I found them to be pretty difficult, only cause you need to read them real closely and know what the question is asking you to find as the correct answer. Good Luck to all!
I’m almost getting my associates degree in cybersecurity in community college, they told me that I can only look job for entry level positions or it’s hard to get job at all. What is your opinion on that? Thanks
Great video. The idea of the video is awesome. Only complaint, which was a deal breaker for me, is the audio quality. When there is a pause in speech the next sentence starts out screaming at me, and for this reason, I could only watch half the video. I would try more of your content but it's scary how loud it gets lol
I believe cyber security employers would want candidates to have a degree in the near future. The same thing happened with the programming job title. Back then you could have gotten a job just with certificates and proof of knowledge. Now it's very difficult to get into programming without a computer science degree.
