    Love this video. I was never able to afford a gym membership, medical bills etc before I hit my goal. I wanted 50k but ended up getting 63k. My life changed forever. I can order grocery delivery, got to the best gyms, and take vacations without worrying about bills.

    Bro I cant even fathom $75k. I just got offered a job making $20/hr as a technical analyst after working 6 months as a remote technician making $13/hr & I felt like a millionaire 😂.

    I was a barber from 2010 to 2022( age 25-37) I’m on week two of training for tier 1 service desk analyst. It took 8 months of applying and doing interviews to get the first role. My next goal within the next 9 months is to get my ccna and apply for network administration. I served in the navy from 2003-2009. Definitely should’ve went into IT after the military over being a barber!!

    Start at Amazon as a warehouse associate making 12-14hr. At the time, I was 24, and I thought this was not enough for me. I went on to get my AS, BS, and currently finishing my MS in Cybersecurity & privacy. Bounce around from different IT agencies such as InsightGlobal, E-Team, etc. After working for all those IT agencies, I finally landed my first SOC role, making 75k. I left some details out too much to write😎

    It's refreshing to see another Black Man shooting for the stars. I started IT in college back in 2019 when I was 34 years old. Fastrack now from helpdesk for a few years and now going to finish my MS CYB in another year. Your words, your experience, and drive motivate me.

But you reaffirmed that I need to just keep goin, get certifications which I am preparing for now. Thanks for your Words sir!

    @TechTual Chatter This just blessed me so much. I recently started my IT HelpDesk journey in February, at a new job. I was previously in a position where I had some HD exposure, but was viewed as though I wasn't capable. This is not my final destination. I am definitely interested in Cybersecurity and plan to do alot of self study. I did not go to school for an IT career, but learned so many things on the job.
