    Literally used your "willing to learn" lines in my interviews and ended up with a few offers after months of interviewing. Amazing how a concept as leveraging soft skills can go a long way in the process. Thank you so much for making information so easy to understand and build on!

    Thank you very much for this, for these your videos! I did realise at my age of 37 that cyber security really could be passion of mine. I always did in IT only tier 1 win admin (which is basically little bit more expirienced user, honestly) or jobs in non-IT as a security. Your videos really helping me to inform myself and find out that this job could be something I want to really work on and I hope even love it.

      @curtiss4981 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Governance, risk, and compliance would be a good area to look at.
      You need to be able to work with the business and IT. Being able to convert "we could get hacked" into financial (and other) impact's that executive management and the board understands as an example.
      You need a high level conceptual understanding of the tech side as a minimum and be able to lean on others as required. You do ultimately need to have a solid technical understanding but GRC is an area you can start in from a business background.

    Hello! I am currently a masters of accounting student and graduate this May. I start my IT audit career at an accounting firm this July. I was planning on starting an online degree in either network engineering or cloud computing from WGU. I plan on taking the CISA exam this summer and work in IT audit for 1-2 years to get experience in the field and transition over to network engineering or cloud computing. If I am interested in cyber security which degree would you recommend and which has the highest career growth potential? Thank you for another banger video, new sub to the channel!

      hey Jovani,
      getting an IT Audit at an accounting firm is an excellent start!!
      If you’re interested in cyber security then I see no reason for u to do either cloud or network engineering as those are different fielda on their own. Yes you will need understanding of networking and cloud to a certain extent but u dont need degrees in them
      I recommend u do a masters of cyber security from WGU, that will be the best compliment to your career

      ​@@UnixGuy I got inspired by all your advice and decided to start with CC from ISC2. I am doing well and will take the exam very soon. This is where I need some advice. I am still in uni and have a few more years left to go, thus I am looking for an entry level job in CyberSec that will allow me to work remotely and will not require me to be glued to the screen 100% of the work time so that I may still be able to attend lectures. (take the laptop with me and place it on the desk so I can just monitor certain processes, for example, while I also pay attention to the lecture). Part time jobs will also do. (need to mention: after my CC exam, I intend to get started on the Security+ certificate, as you advised, and then look for a job. If you think I should start searching for a job right after passing the CC exam, please let me know.) Best regards.

      If you do CC, you can skip security+
      Part time cyber jobs are extremely rate, so I recommend you try and get any job related to technology which will at least give you soft skills / customer service skills.

    Do you think it is possible or feasable or maybe even advisable to learn cyber security full time 5 courses a week night hours 6 pm to 10 pm while also working part time during daytime ? I am about to do so and I am thinking I maybe I could just take a student loan and concentrate solely on my cyber security degree, my program also has 2 optional internships.. If I do them it will prolong graduation time if I skip them I would be done by fall next year.

      No there is no such thing as 'ideal' path. All paths can be good, if you work hard and study and get experience. One path is not better than the other.
