My Regrets when learning cybersecurity 

To Start learning the basics of IT & Cybersecurity start with the Google IT Support Certification, visit learn.nicoleenesse.com/GoogleITSupport to sign up for free.

Thank you so much for your video! The "get a job quickly" advice is especially helpful! I am definitely the kind of person to get 'analysis paralysis' or try to figure out what I'd like before actually trying it, lol. I already have a Bachelors (in another field), so hearing your advice about focusing on self-study, certs, and resume crafting is just what I needed. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge and honest opinions!

i’m about a semester into my associate degree for cyber security. already obtained so much knowledge. watching your videos have been very helpful to me.

This is some great practical advice. You have pretty much described the natural progression of my career. I did not plan it. It just sort of happened that way. Getting started in the 90's with medical networks and then transitioning to working for the Army (for the last 20 years) has helped with this. Additionally, I have continued to work with medical/dental networks all along. So cyber security and HIPAA have played a big part of my experience.

As a 15 year Healthcare Privacy professional working very closely with our IS department I am looking to upskill. thank you so much for this video as I have been trying to determine the best method to get this done outside of going back for another degree.

Thanks so much for telling us where to start! This is what I need

I listen to your videos while working my 8-5. I now know that cyber security is what I want to do. I definitely have a better understanding because of the way you break things down. Thank you so much for doing these videos!

Thank you so much for everything that you share. I was so confused where to start and what is important versus what isn’t. Watching your videos gave me a lot of structure. I signed up for the Google IT support certificate and so far it’s going well. 😊

Thank you for these informative and awesome videos after watching the Google support video I took the course and got a job as a helpdesk. I'm interested in the cyber security field and could never thank you enough for the content of this channel

"Otherwise you are gonna endlessly watch youtube videos.." Dang.. you got me there.. icecold! 😲

Great information, I’m currently a junior majoring in cybersecurity. I’m studying for my security plus rn and plan to take the test in January. Afterwards I’ll start applying for internships.

Very relevant, also I can recommend the Cisco Cybersecurity path, it's free.

Hey I am a complete beginner, but interested in getting into Cybersecurity. I’ve been studying basic IT with the Comptia A+ materials. I’m debating if I should get the certification since it’s not geared to Cybersecurity? What are your thoughts?

Thank you Nicole

Thank you so much for these videos! I’ve had so many questions and you’ve answered so many. Could you please let us know your opinion on the ISC2 Certification in Cybersecurity? I was wondering if that could take the place of Security+. They’re also making the certification free for 1M people 😁

@Nicole Enesse Why did you hate your Compliance job? Can you give more detail. Im looking at that as an option. Thanks for the videos.

Hey thanks for the video, very helpful! Unfortunately the link with the resume template is not working

I am new in this field i want to take a degree in Cyber security eventually, for now i am the google IT support certificate my question is how can i breake in to a IT job? and also can i become a cyber security analys or can i get a cyber security job with only Certificates? Thanks in advance.

biggest mistake Years ago passing CCNA, but entry-level jobs were much lower then I was making working on telephone systems. I used the excuse I had a family, now phone systems are fading away trying to add (linux, Python, security+ and more) at 59. I'm I to late for Cyber-security time will tell

So as I am watching this I am glad that the AS in cyber/information security is available at my community college because all of this information you gave out is possible and at a fairly decent cost and if school isn’t a possibility the free resources are surprisingly out there to take advantage of.

This is the most helpful video I’ve found. Thanks for sharing.

I find your video very helpful..i have a query.. I am a mom of 2 and currently working as a law and enforcement officer..i have no IT background....how can i start a cybersecurity career?

Thank you for this great information. Do you know where I can learn pentesting?

do you think it’s worth it going for a degree or should i just focus on certs?

Thank you very much for making this video.

Would you recommend a+ and network+ before security+?

What is the difference between a pen tester and and ethical hacker, and does a pen tester hack WiFi password and all the cool looking stuffs we see in movies like Mr Robot?

wow, great info. I did not know there were sec jobs that focus specifically on HIPAA. That's definitely something i'd be interested in doing. Are you able to make a video on what One would need to get into HIPAA sec job?

I have worked wth IT support for 7 years, I joined during university days, I have been at the same company for long and at times i do regret it for staying at same place for too long, I wish i had found my interest in Cyber Security earlier. I'm trying to explore more into this, any suggestion what I should do? I'm confused.

I just finished a cyber security certificate through a college . I can finish a associate later but I want to work. I just having trouble getting a job

Cool video but too many cuts, would be better to have longer clips of whole sentences

I want to do a degree in cyber security would I have less opportunities if I obtain an Associate Degree and oppose tona Bachelor's?

One of the best content out there

Are most it jobs 9 to 5 even if remote ? Are there companies that are flexible in that industry?

thats cool i would try to do the same but im currently in confusion I have two options in front of me one I could enrol in EC-Council university or I could enrol in saintleo university for an MBA in cyber security what should I prefer guide me both these are online degree providers which have more growth cyber only or mba in cyber ?

Amazing content, you said 6 months for all of this and I'm stuck already 7 monate with ccna, maybe i do something wrong.

Im currently in Engineering and have nearly 0 coding skills. Im looking at taking a large pay cut and going through Springboard cybersecurity bootcamp. Says 9900$, money back guarantee if no job found in 6 months and prepares for comptia+ cert. What u think? Part time 24 week online class. Please help.

Thanks this is really insightful!

IBM Cyber Security Analyst Professional Certification. This is a four-year college level. This is a starting point.

If you are new like I am, there is a great book that just came out recently called How Cyber Security Really Works, and it’s an amazing resource that covers tons of fundamentals! Highly recommend it!

This was wonderful insight; thanks!!!

Thank you so much for clearing my doubts💯

If I’m 35 with no career can I get into IT?

Maam the Google IT support certificate link is not working can u plss help me...

Is comptia A+ better than google I.T. cert?

If I took IT support by Google do I have to take Comptia+ or just Security+?

When I was in IT (Linux), there were a lot more Men than Woman in the domain. Do you encounter a lot of sexism on a daily basis or are people really accepting of your capabilities?

Since I don’t have much of an IT background (other than playing around with easy web design and having troubleshooting experience with cell phones years ago) would you say to its good to get the comptia A+ certification before I go for the security + ?

Why recommend google cert over A+?

Hey Nicole. Been watching a lot of your videos. I'm starting the purdue global cyber BA program in the fall. I'm currently enrolled in the google IT support now been going at it! any other advice for me? I'm transitioning from health care

WGU demands previous IT experience, High GPA from Highscool which I don't have lol. any work arounds?

Your link for the resume is not working:(

Hi Nicole, do you recommend any course for cyber security to start ( instead the google )?

Hey Nicole what do you think about accepting a job as a NOC analyst 1 to put my feet on d door and later moved towards being a SOC analyst

Hey! I tried to get the resume Template but it says "Error 404"

Is a cyber security degree good if u want to be a cloud security engineer

Hey what kind of laptop would I need to learn and do cybersecurity

I really enjoyed this video

Very useful - thanks. On a side note, have you noticed that you use the word 'niche' in nearly every video? 🙃

Is there any of those I.T foundations courses for free?

I am currently studying for Security+ and by chance I happened to score a voucher for ITF+. I was going to do that before doing Sec+. However, I think I am going to follow your recommendations instead. I'm going to do the Splunk fundamentals course too.

Do you teach Cyber security? If so what would you charge?

Very informative video. Thanks for sharing!

So, college courses is not really necessary?

Lol please don't hate me, I Was gonna record this topic tomorrow 😭

Great video!

Looks like I am following correct path 😀😀

on that job thing. what I am stuck @ is all my resume is related to help desk or customer service call center so my resume keeps attracting all the jobs that I dont want. I am thinking to completely remove those jobs and then I have nothing lol

Thumbnail makes no sense.. but here I am.. still tuning in 🥴

Great video topic! Definitely will watch

Would you recommend A+ at all?

thats a lot of jumpcuts

Can’t wait to listen to this! Thank for the continued info!

God bless you 🙏 ❤ you are awesome 👌 please make labtop video for beginners every one tells me I shouldn't buy apple labtops for cybersecurity but you said mac book air is oky

So gooood to see your channel finally growing 💗💃

Hey Nicole, ... I lived in Columbus, Ohio for 15 years ... Good to know a Cybersecurity mentor from buckeye country. Keep in touch ... - Reiner

Well oops I just went to comptia cyber security cert

Very informative video ✌️

Good advice here. Great to listen to, but the 1,037...sorry.. miscounted... 1,034, breaks/jumps in the video editing made it painful to watch, even as cute as you are... joking! not about your cuteness, but the editing. You have a great listen-to voice and I 'listen' to 'videos' at work anyway, while doing PLC coding in manufacturing, so i can't watch that much anyway.. Looking forward to more listening.

So this is sponsored...

Is this thumbnails for Halloween?? Because its scary Lolx I mean it ni a nice way

cool girlll

I don't know what a Router is, but I know a Switch turns on my lights

Are you married?

Hey Nicole! Hope you are doing well. Thanks a lot for sharing all the information. Your videos are very useful. So, I come from a finance background with 4.5 years of work experience. Now, over the period I have realized my interest inclining towards Cybersecurity but I don’t have any prior knowledge or experience in technical/IT. Now, I’m confused on where to start from cause universities and colleges ask for relevant degrees to become eligible for studying masters or any course. But I came across a boot camp course offered by University of Toronto for C$12k. It’s a foundation course with 6 modules and includes the fee for comptia certification which will be taken after the course is completed. Here is the link bootcamp.learn.utoronto.ca/cybersecurity/landing/?s=Google-Brand&pkw=%2Bu%20%2Bof%20%2Bt%20%2Bcyber%20%2Bsecurity%20%2Bbootcamp&pcrid=466244840523&pmt=b&GGL%7CUNIVERSITY-OF-TORONTO%7CSEM%7CCYBER%7C-%7COFL%7CTIER-1%7CALL%7CBRD%7CBMM%7CCore%7CBootcamp&Bu%20%2Bof%20%2Bt%20%2Bcyber%20%2Bsecurity%20%2Bbootcamp&s=google&k=%2Bu%20%2Bof%20%2Bt%20%2Bcyber%20%2Bsecurity%20%2Bbootcamp&gclid=Cj0KCQiAsdKbBhDHARIsANJ6-jdqb0h6oirtjlM9vzUsbg3Ol-UzATxlDVROv92Evne8oVTacuJHHHsaAly4EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds Can you please let me if this is worth taking for a person like me who is completely new to this field and also do I need to do any advance course after this to get a job?
