I will start school in a few days. I was cut between cybersec and cloud. I'm happy to hear Cloud pays well as that was my choice. Great info! Thank you.
@youngchapo3513 It's going good so far. I am told to start working on my certs. I want to start soon, but between work and school, I am being lame. That subnets is no joke. Thank you for checking in.
thank you for the video nicole . i am in dilemma actually to choose between cloud or cybersecurity. I am 19 years old now and am starting to think my path to choose as i wanna pursue my degree in between those two. and as a result i think i wanna continue my study in cloud . Thank you ! you helped me a lot
The salaries here are interesting. I graduated with an associates In network and administration, I got my first it helpdesk role with a pay of 10$ an hour in 2013
Love your vids, im currently finishing up my Google IT cert and then will apply at WGU to complete the cybersecurity bachelors program! Your vids are very informative! I love watching them!
@@johnvardy9559 CyS is harder, most of the time they require you to already have some IT/Pen test experience. There are workshops that count as experience. Cloud computing depends on how big the company you are applying for is and if they utilize cloud computing (AWS/Azure/GCP). A generic I.T degree gives you the minimum to get your foot in the door, then work on the other certs depending on your employer. (Sys/network/web/Databse Admin jobs) Easiest job to land are help desk jobs which require no degree but certs are a plus...get it? (A+).😁
Started my journey to work in IT with cloud. I have AWS CP cert and started on the SAA course to do the test but I stopped bc I’m thinking cybersecurity may be easier to get my foot in the door without the degree and just certs. I’m really confused. Not sure if I should keep trying cloud or return to it later and start with cyber as the jobs I see on indeed don’t require so much experience.
Excellent video. Ive been in technical project management for a long time now and looking to try something different and something more skill/knowledge based. Your video really helped me to decide that next step.
HELP! I watched your videos and I’m trying to build a roadmap to cloud computing. I have no experience in IT and I’m wondering which certs are necessary and which are fluff for my journey. So far it seems I will need an OS cert like Linux +, then basic coding skills like a Python cert then fundamentals like a CompTIA networking cert, and cloud essentials cert. My question is what’s necessary in your opinion? Do I need the CompTIA A+, Network +, Security +, Project +, Cloud+, Cloud Essentals, then cloud +, then cloud practitioner and move up the associates to pro to specialist ladder? Or is this too much? I’m trying to minimize time and money while also building the needed skill set to be as successful and competitive as possible! What do you suggest?
Thank you so much for this video, I work in the library in Ghana-Africa but I want to branch into Cloud computing and hopefully work remotely. @Nicole Enesse.
Didn’t even finish the vid, this is the first person to actually explain what an entry cloud position would. I’m about a month away from testing and really appreciate this so I can target my job search after.
Hi nicole, love your vids. They have helped me learn quite a bit. I was accepted into WGU but I’m having a hard time deciding between the cloud bachelors or the cyber security bachelors. I’m 46 and making a career change from being a respiratory therapist. I have lots of interest in both fields from the learning I’ve done so far. Any advice? Or words of wisdom?
@jeffsm3 Same here, I'm 36 and have been truck driving for 5yrs. I was looking at the same WGU course the B.S. cloud engineer. I need to make this career change!! Good luck to you! Happy to hear people in my age group or older making career changes because at my age I feel like a loser. Lol.
I'm currently working as senior soc analyst having 3+years of experience. I need to go into cloud computing. Wherever I see I can able to see only the entry level position for cloud. I need to go further combining both my security knowledge and cloud. What skills needed and where to start for cloud. As I already know basics in AWS cloud.
You don't like Soc Analyst? I'm currently in cloud computing right now and thinking about going over to Cybersecurity, which what was I originally wanted to do.
Awesome video! I do not have any degrees or certs yet. Just personal experience. Used Windows since I was about 13 (I'm 27 now) and would like to believe I have a decent understanding of how things work. I have good experience with Linux and in all likelihood have a much deeper understanding of it than Windows. Started with Ubuntu, switched to Arch and am now currently running Void. I understand Firewalls, VPNs etc. The general stuff. Went through a hacking phase when I was a teenager and learned about wifi hacking, brute forcing, phishing, SQL injection and all that jazz but I'm still in the baby stages of knowledge in that area. I've always loved computers and have an absolute BLAST learning more about them so I can confidently say that I have the "drive" or "passion" that's really needed for the career. Right now I'm pretty solid on working in Cyber Security aand would like to get started ASAP. Any and all recommendations, critiques or opinions are extremely appreciated! Even if I have to start a non cyber security job at first, that's cool with me. Thanks!
Thanks as always for these videos! Just a quick question. I'm 36 and have been teaching for 14 years. Your videos have inspired me in making the jump to IT (I'm torn between cyber security and data analysis), but I'm afraid I'm too old to switch. After watching your videos, what would be the best starting path to jump in, or am I too late? Thanks!
Absolutely not too old to switch. My employer - a global leader in their field with major presence across North America and Europe - have been employing ‘new entries’ into CyberSec at much greater ages than yours. With 14years in teaching, you could leverage this experience to pursue a Security Education & Awareness role. Enterprise sized companies all resource an Education & Awareness function, leading activity such as mandatory annual Sec Awareness training (typically a regulatory requirement in many industries), security culture baselining and growth, guidance materials, company Intranet presence, developing ‘Cyber Champion’ networks, etc. If too similar and not exciting enough, use it as a foot-in-the-door to build a couple years experience then transition to Security Operations (if you have the technical know how) or GRC (if you don’t).
36 isn’t even old Brother dan!! You are not to late at all. I have known retired people who changed their career into tech. Data Analysis and cybersecurity are both really good paths. It honestly depends on what you like better and can see doing long term
I’m 38 and am about to jump in myself and have had the same question about age. I have a background in architecture but I just don’t see myself doing that for the rest of my life.
No such thing as best. All pays well. Just depends on your interest and what you are passionate about. A.I is also another new sector booming in IT. There are just too many different career paths that are all lucrative.
I have 14 years of experience in Non IT in payroll field..now I want to pursue a career in cyber security or AWS .. but unable to choose one. And what is the scope of i pursue one.
Thank you for the roadmap, Nicole! I am following the GRC recommendations via Coursera and Gerald's master class. As someone only interested in the Sec+, do you think it would be a mistake to skip both A+ and Net+?
I have the same aspirated and goal set in my mind to complete and wanted to ask you with your experience is cloud computing commonly outsourced overseas?
I'm fresh out of highschool. Whats my best option into breaking into tech? Should I go to a university/community college or even a bootcamp? If you have a video regarding this please provide me with the link, thank you.
I wanna go after soc analyst but I wanna go after cloud what’s the one job you recommend getting first and what are the certifications u recommend that kind of go together for cloud and Soc or where I should start studying first thank you
Hey! I’m currently majoring in an unrelated field (graphic deaign) and minoring in IT (if I switch majors I’ll be behind and run out of aid) would this ruin my chances of getting a job if I don’t have the right major, but I have certifications? Thanks

Cybersecurity degrees are a waste of money
Information technology is the use of computers to create, process, store, retrieve, and exchange all kinds of data and information.
Just go with whatever you want then just pick up the certs you need.
Which one is easier to land a job? And to gain the skills.
