I try to tell others exactly what you explained here. I have been building computers and home networks at home professionals for a few years, but you hit the nail on the head with your analogy of securing your house and needing to know how it works. Simple cable management is very high on my radar when I'm installing someone's network and firewalls, but many wouldn't think of it without knowing just how vulnerable that one point is.
Thank you I've seen too many UA-cam videos telling people you can start cybersecurity with no experience and I'm like what are you talking about? I saw a person saying they got their CYSA+ but will go back and get their Security+. That tells me you don't understand the basics you're good at memorizing concepts. I have years of IT experience and it was a learning curve getting into cybersecurity and there is still much to learn. Thank you for telling the truth. A lot of these people don't know what they're talking about.
Taking my core 1. 1101 tomorrow. Yourself and professor messer have helped me so very much. I’m so excited to start learning cybersecurity AFTER the basics. Thanks again!
This will be the best video to recommend if someone ask me how to enter in the cyber security field and by the way I passed my security+ certification because of your course thank you ❤️.
Faqs. Problem is too many people hear about the money making potential and keep jumping from one fad to the next hot thing and not wanting to put in the necessary work that is required. Very well said.
I like this guy. Easy to understand and follow. He's good at explaining things. I have trouble focusing at times. However, all the videos I've seen of him, he's had me paying attention from start to finish
I love this video! It's so honest! I'm taking his A+ course and he doesn't an excellent job teaching, and notes provided are sooo helpful! I've used lots of tools, and find the info on how the hands on aspects of working on computers etc. And notes most comprehensive with easy to use formats and lots of visuals. I highly recommend his courses either through his company or Udemy
Thank you for sharing the tips into g Stepping to the door. Your Sec+ course really helped me pass my security+ test👏👏👏I am trying to break in but job hunting is hard especially when you don't have IT experience as you said. I Am taking Network + to solidify my IT basics.
Many thanks for this piece of advice! I've been trying to get out of my job in academic philosophy, and pen-testing really caught my eye. I quickly realized that I need a strong background in hardware as well as software. I tried to go back to college for a programming analyst degree, but it turned out to be a bit basic content-wise, time-consuming, and super expensive. Hence, I've been studying my way through the A+, Network+, and Sec+ contents. After covering all of this, I planned to go for several small, ad honorem jobs, in order to build up my portfolio. However, the following question dawned on me: what big or relatively big company will want to hire small, self-trained freelancers like me for overly specialized cybersec jobs? What you said here makes total sense, and it makes me realize that I should probably go for jobs in general IT or networking as a means to get the foot in the door and get the necessary practical experience first.
I’m in my last semester of my cybersecurity degree. Can’t even get a help desk job. Was passed on internships and same problem with classmates. Most students can’t afford the price of the certificates. I work on the side so I can afford it and I’ll be taking the security+ soon. Hopefully that’ll help.
This makes a lot of sense. I am halfway into my cybersecurity degree, and we are required to clear A+, Network + and Security + first before taking the advanced courses such as CySa+ and Pen testing.
Im almost done with my degree and can’t get a job. Even at a help desk level. Internships are turning down classmates of mine and myself. It honestly just should be like this. I’m getting ready for my security+ soon. Most of my classmates can’t afford the test so they wait until the security+
I’m studying for my A+first then work my way up the ladder.what you saying is true people just want to jump straight to cybersecurity and they don’t even know how to repair a pc.you must learn first the fundamentals first. I see you on udemy do you have any courses on PBQs on the A+ because this would help me?
U just found this channel and really love your advice. As software engineer, specifically someone who is knowledgeable on both frontend and backend in addition to some devops experience, where field of cyber security do you recommend me or in others what is the roadmap from someone coming from software engineering field ? Finally, do you even recommend this field to developer ? I will look forward getting your answer back. Thanks
Could you see a security cert help one get in the door with an entry level tech job, that isn't security that one can perform in as they build the basics?
I wish I watched this video back in January of 2020 when I went to back to school to study Cybersecurity. Here I am a year out of school and 24k in debt with no interest in using my degree,
I am currently going through your A+ course on Udemy and it's amazing to have someone makes it so easy to understand everything. Will you be putting the network+ on Udemy?
I've had to work with way too many people in IT that don't know their way around a computer. To think you can skip both the steps of figuring out computers and also IT and just jump straight into cybersecurity is absurd. Don't set yourself up for failure like that. Work a help desk first.

Good luck
Did you end up passing? I failed my first two attempts, missing by only a few questions.
This will be the best video to recommend if someone ask me how to enter in the cyber security field and by the way I passed my security+ certification because of your course thank you ❤️.
Congratulations, celebrate well. Share with folks who wants to enter cyber security

Good step. Having a solid foundation in networking is essential to security.

Thanks allot
Omg your right that’s why I can’t get a job I studied cyber security I’m getting my data analytics degree now
Could you see a security cert help one get in the door with an entry level tech job, that isn't security that one can perform in as they build the basics?
Can you be a Computer Forensic Analyst with the A- cert and B- Cert qualifications?
The voice of reason.
Do we have to do compTIA A+ certification or can we skip that and do compTIA network+ for entering into cyber security
I wish I watched this video back in January of 2020 when I went to back to school to study Cybersecurity. Here I am a year out of school and 24k in debt with no interest in using my degree,
I am currently going through your A+ course on Udemy and it's amazing to have someone makes it so easy to understand everything. Will you be putting the network+ on Udemy?
Yes in a few months 😊
That does make sense.

I want to take A+ exam I need alot of questions on it for practise where can I get practise questions
The truth. Thank you
Thank you
60 certs in crazy! I have a new goal now. Lol
