Was going for CISSP at one point last year but sadly the contract I was in didn't work out and switch to a different company. And for the new company, CISSP isn't needed: getting it would basically be telling the employer I'm looking for a new job.
@@chuckchan4127 Your company doesn't need to know. Only if telling them benefits you.
All set for CEH thanks to Saddleback College - that's a cert you forgot to mention in this video.
I am a manufacturing designer with 23 years of experience. My boss retired and was replaced by a new CEO. The new CEO expected me to pick up all of my bosses responsibilities. I was excited for a fair promotion and compensation. 3 months in, I was offered a 10% raise to do work that takes two professionals to do.. I wasn't compensated due to the new guy not knowing my worth because he doesn't know me enough to deserve a raise. I quit to start my own consulting business. I want to help small businesses that can't afford to hire a full-time professional manufacturing designer. I just spent $12,000 for a modeling software commercial license. I am designing cool stuff and loving it!! Thank God I have a 5 year emergency fund 😊
Good luck in your new journey! I think it was a good move given the circumstances.
I"m in supply chain. The market isn't great right now. Everyone wants 20 years of experience for entry-level pay.....
Hi. What type of entry level supply chain roles have you applied for?
Thought I was the only person feeling it...
@@diez5778 I feel your pain, I have a Supply chain MBA and have struggled. Supply chain is supposed to be high growth but I gotten nothing but rejections and a few interviews.
What has your experience been like?
A few months ago, I subscribed to your channel after having suffered a TIA (Transient Ischemic Attack or Mini-Stroke) due to stress on the job. I have since left my company of 26 years and took a few months to recover. I have now found a new career in a new company doing healthcare administration. You have provided such insight! Just a very small token of appreciation!❤😊
When you left was it harder to find a job because you technically have a gap in your career (time you took off)?
What did you say to your new employer about time off and why?
@@114D I took 3 months off (which is still too short in my opinion) due to health reasons. I am in the late stage of my career with 26+ years of continuous employment. The small gap was not an issue for me.
Wow, very appreciated! Thank you!
Good for you
I would note that the CISSP requires a minimum of 5 years of experience.
Quoting:
" Candidates must have a minimum of five years cumulative, full-time experience in two or more of the eight domains of the current CISSP Exam Outline. Earning a post-secondary degree (bachelors or masters) in computer science, information technology (IT) or related fields may satisfy up to one year of the required experience or an additional credential from the ISC2 approved list may satisfy up to one year of the required experience. Part-time work and internships may also count towards the experience requirement.
A candidate who doesn't have the required experience to become a CISSP may become an Associate of ISC2 by successfully passing the CISSP examination. The Associate of ISC2 will then have six years to earn the five years required experience. "
You can get your Associate of CISSP at any point, but you don't get your full cert until you get your 5 years of experience.
In my opinion this isn't really a cert you gun for out of the gate. This is a mid-level certification.
CISSP isn't a mid level cert. It's more of a high end cert.
was going to say the same...not exactly the best example. You also have to register with them so they can track said experience. $50 a year.
Get the Security+ from CompTIA. This will carry you a long way (but not all the way).
@@kennorman1142 $50/year??? When was that. This year I payed for my membership and Cissp renewal $135.
I came to say this, but I knew inevitable someone would. Also as the others commented on the relatively high difficulty of attaining the cert, I laughed when I heard it being recommended for an analyst. Maybe it would make sense for a GRC analyst, but for a SOC analyst (which is what this video was basically talking about) you'd be wasting your time getting the CISSP.
If you want a stable job for life. Get into healthcare. You get well paid and you get constant calls to steal you from your current job. The con is a 12 hour shift job where you should not sleep
You should make you a video on why employers enjoy selling you a dream in the interviews. I go through this ALL the time. People are ALWAYS making it seem like they’re going to hire you and even have the audacity to ask you “when can you start” to STILL turn you down. I swear to God, a woman asked us “who can start on Friday”, and of course I raised my hand just to end up getting the same old rejection email the next day. 😒👎🏽
A software developer here and his point on software development is spot on. Despite all the fear mongering surrounding software engineering, it remains to be a very robust career track that is not going anywhere any time soon (yes, even with ChatGPT and AI looming over our heads).
Mind you that too many nursing jobs are extremely unsustainable for your health. You tear yourself apart with night shifts that can last 10-18 hours, especially if you work in a hospital among terminally ill patients. Some nurses end up sleeping on the hospital floor due to the high pressure and lack of time. With all the recent budget cuts, the pay is often not even close to $120K unless you are on your 4th+ year or hold a high degree. Most nurses I know end up switching to a part time schedule or a different career, just not worth it.
Aren’t travel and specialty nurses still making lucrative salaries though?
@@tarynstewart8279 is it worth it?
he said Nurse Practitioner though, not RN, they aren't the ones cleaning peoples potty pans, an NP is almost an MD
Seems like it's nearly impossible to get hired into cyber unless you have a military background with clearance.
Getting a job in Cybersecurity is 85% luck, 10% knowledge, and 5% connections and charisma.
@ikariTTV, I'd reverse those ratios.
Security Clearances are Gold in the DC area. The military does make it easy, a LEO background, esp for investigation , couldnt hurt
Try looking at state agencies, like your state Treasury, Department of Commerce/Agriculture/Attorney General, etc. These usually don't have any clearance requirements and pay is decent with lots of potential to go up because state agencies like to pass employees around.
@ALifeAfterLayoff
No his ratios are definitely accurate. A lot of getting that industry is luck honestly and of course, nepotism for some
I was working as a UX Engineer for a Cyber Security Company. The company was great, the atmosphere was excellent, the highest salary I've ever had and I also thought it was a safe 'industry' until I was also laid off in February 2024. It seems nobody is 100% safe!
Did you find another job?
Got laid off from UX design role after 3 years in February 2023. Friday had a great performance review, then laid off by email Monday morning! Never think you’re special no matter how high up you go
@@AnnMitt Not yet. I was laid off in mid February and decided to have a break from the job market and focus on myself. I decided to take some time to learn new skills and get some certifications
Software development is not growing, it's a dead end, and AI is taking hold. It's indicated by H1B as well, and it's forcing salaries down. Nursing I agree with somewhat, but at the same time, doctors are leaving in droves due to all the regulations. But I do not see Ai there. Big Tech also said the only software dev are the ones creating AI. But this industry is DEAD. That is a fact. There is no strong demand, and the salaries are being slashed.
The salaries are being slashed indeed....my last job I was making just over $100K. Was unemployed for 7 months, just got employed again. Salary is $80K for about the same amount of work. And when interviewing I was getting offers for $60-$70K, even though I have 7 years experience as an SDET
Take it from a business analyst: the market has dropped out of this area too, at least for now. $83k isn’t much, and you frequently have very unpleasant clients, particularly since many of them are government employees.
You're referring to the median (across all industries, levels, companies and locations). Keep in mind this isn't a snapshot of today's market, but the forecast for the next 10. Today every job type stinks.
Good luck getting a software or game development job in 2024, especially with all the recent outsourcing, flow of competition and international students, and layoffs. You now need at least 2-3 internships (or unpaid co-ops) to just lay an entry level gig, unless you have connections.
As stated in the video, this is over the next 10 years.
I work in risk management for one of the big banks and automation and outsourcing are all the rage for all jobs that don't interface directly with customers including IT. None of our jobs are safe
The greatest skill to have in this day and age is the ability to adapt. No job is safe, no industry is safe. No job pays a decent enough income when compared with house prices. You have to be able to constantly adapt to the fast changing environment. Like a mutant.
Agree!
The tech job market is really bad right now (believe me, I know... was laid off in Dec 2022, took until Oct 2023 to get a job... then got laid off again in March 2024, and took me until May 2024 to find another job)... BUT... if you want to become wealthy, or at least upper middle class, SaaS is still where it's at. There are plenty of non-technical jobs in SaaS as well (Sales, Customer Success, etc.)
Glad you are back to work! Thank you for your input
Can you share your thoughts on how someone could step foot into this field? In your opinion what type of skills would a person need to succeed in SaaS?
Sad thing is not everyone will be able to do these roles. I see a lot of people unemployed in the next 10 -15 years:(
Thank you, I enjoy all of your videos.
Problem is and I mean no disrespect by this comment by the way but these are not just career's you can just cross / jump in to. It means going to university by the sounds of it and devoting years to "re learning". It's not like say security here in the UK, 4-6 day course to get the certificate the apply for an SIA (Security Industry Authority) license, Door Supervisor (Bouncer) level. The difference there is a 4 to 6 day course vs months or years worth of learning.
What about jobs where the company's actually teach you the skill or require a similar length course as I stated with the SIA course. Ones you can more easily switch to because not every one can perhaps ditch their current jobs so easily.
Like I said, I mean no disrespect with this comment.
Yeah, this is definitely a "you're a highschooler looking at different careers" or at minimum "looking to go back to school for a year or two" type situation.
This is a great comment. And it would have been nice to have the caveat in the video. A lot of folks will see this video and think they can just hop on over but it don’t work like that.
Just the video I needed after changing jobs.
Awesome video. Glad to see you branching out like this. I plan to show this video to my students. Another field where you can make 120,000 is teaching but it is very dependent on where you teach and it doesn't start at that salary. A school district in El Centro, CA has a salary scale that goes from 71,000 to 143,000 dollars and there are a few other districts in CA like that. Within CA people are moving from more expensive areas to less expensive areas but the salary scales in the less expensive areas are often higher for teachers because demand is higher.
I know the hiring manager for a position you listed in your video. 680 candidates applied in 12 hours and the org had to take the position down because it makes no sense to take any more resumes. Even he was taken back by the number of applications he received. Things are not good out there.
"Printed Circuit Board Designer" is a very niche skill that is in moderate demand right now. Many PCB designers have retired and there are few skilled people to fill the void.
Yes this sounds VERY niche! I never heard of this type of job. Do you currently work as one? What does one need to get into this field?
120k is just getting by these days when a 3 bedroom home is 500k
True, but the market hasn't caught up in salary.
What was the 120k for again?
Wow, $500k for a 3 bedroom home? Sign me up! What part of the country do you live in?
@@MrGordonSims they are the new million dollar homes in CA
@@ryukirito2616Same here on the opposite coast in Nova (I live in Loudoun County, the #1 richest county in the country)
I think nurse practitioner is a bit overrated and will be a bit over saturated in some markets. I think nurse anesthetist is the better route to go if anyone has a choice is considering both.
Higher risks of life/death usually equals higher pay so this checks out.
Love this content, alternatives, different ways to think thats what we need to do
Thanks for all the great information you share on your channel. Could you share the website where you obtained that information?
You can search the Bureau Of Labor Statistics website.
I agree that healthcare is AI proof. There are always jobs in healthcare. Healthcare is not very high paying compared to the other industries, but there is always work.
AI is just the latest scare for Computer Scientists originating from none Computer Scientists such as yourself. AI was first predicted to automate all software development in 1982 when Japan started their fifth generation project which was designed to create A I systems. This project failed.
One issue of using AI to write programs is that they very often do not produce working code. There is no problems for Computer Scientists getting jobs so long as they develop difficult low level software and do not simply produce simple data entry screens which it might be possible to generate using AI.
Also, the "CISSP" certification that you mentioned requires 5 years of experience.
Jobs like wind turbine tech are a great career path that pays well and is impossible to outsource overseas because much of the work cannot be done remotely or physically sent overseas.
Many trades pay wonderfully, in many cases more than a white collared senior manager position and they arent back breaking labor.
This may sound weird but I could see him also giving dating advice as well. I know women who stayed in relationships for 10+ years without a ring knowing that they wanted marriage. They put all of their eggs in 1 basket and let the dating market pass them by. That same logic applies to employees who stay at low quality and low paying jobs for 7+ years, don’t work on new skills and let the job market pass them by.
What about a "two way radio programmer" in the commercial field? Drone Pilot, you need a UAS certificate from the FAA?
Now it would be a good time to do a video about which jobs are forecasted to shrink or disappear
As a cybersecurity engineer and software dev I concur.
Bryan, I have a math PhD, but I am finding it hard to land a math-related job even though I know it's a skill not many have and it's in high demand. I have been following your channel and a few other career coaches, but it seems so hard to get noticed without an industry experience. My prior experience is in academia as an assistant professor of mathematics, so it's really hard for me to answer questions like "Do you have at least 2 years of professional experience in Python?" for example. Well, I don't use Python in my math research because I am a pure mathematician, but I've been using Python a lot in other projects of my own. Along with SQL, Mathematica, Excel. What is your advice?
Have you looked into cryptography? Could be an interesting shift.
@@alexdoe784 I looked up LinkedIn once or twice. Just a few posts and they all need citizenship, of which I am not as of now. I looked it up again after reading your comment; I did not find any. It is something interesting though. In fact, my undergraduate thesis was on Elliptic Curve Cryptography many years ago!
I would caution ⚠️ on certifications. I remember those A+ and Microsoft certifications that emptied your wallet, but had little impact on the long term job security or gating hired without work experience.
A+ is a decent entry level cert.
CCNA is still valued
Security+ is a literal key to federal government jobs
Be wary of the Microsoft Certifications though due to how often Microsoft retries them.
@@chuckchan4127 My experience with A+, Network +, and Security + was not that positive. That’s the reason I’m working in accounting now.
Some certs are required/standard.
I have hardly seen certs needed in tech.
@darksideblues135 Of course many of the certs are not needed. But you're also not needed: you need to convince the employers you're worth having.
You're videos bring me so much peace of mind. They help me learn and reinforce things I've learned in the past and emotionally purge some of my employment struggles and you're entire sphere is so peaceful and intelligent and it means more to me than I can express.
Wow, thank you!
* your
Hello, thank you for all of your wonderful content. I am currently waiting to hear back from the company. It has been 10 days since the senior recruiter of the company told me that there are 2 other candidates finishing up the interview process and that the process will be done by last Friday, 6 days ago and that the team will meet up and have a discussion with who they will move forward with and that she will circle back with me after its finished. I sent a nice follow up email earlier this week and still am waiting. I was told that I did well on my final round. I had a great feeling about my final interview and have the majority of the positive signs of a successful interview. Granted that it has been 10 days and counting, is it safe to move on and say that I didn't get the position? What do you suggest that I do?
AI does not play well with Actuaries? Machine Learning is all about stastics, and AI can be appling these stastics. What am I missing ?
As someone in that space, they already do and have been using models. Having better models will lead to better decision making but does not go as far as replacing them. It will be a long time before AI can be trusted with multimillion+ dollar decisions. That said it is already incredibly competitive to get into. If you don't have exams and interships when applying it can be a real up hill battle.
For added prospective, the acceptance rate at the small life insurance company I worked for new incoming actuarial students was planned out to be about 0.4% of those expected to apply based on the previous years applications.
Another interesting field is forensic accounting.
This is another good one that's unlikely to be replaced by AI.
Gives me a headache just thinking of all the numbers 😂
We’ve been hiring Security Analysts for my clients, some good tools/practices to learn: Palo Alto Cortex, CrowdStrike, SOAR and Pen Testing
I was expecting HR to make the list
In reality you are referring to the AI LLMs of today, but I think almost every job has some risk in the future. I think that even if you are in a quite replaceable industry for AI, if you have deep enough knowledge you are going be around a long time.
I am in digital marketing (paid media) for example, and I don't see how this role could be replaced by AI systems like LLMs, maybe a different kind of system in the future might do that but not current ones, they are good at doing some tasks, not entire jobs.
Healthcare admin/ manager here with experience and im working on my degree. I can attest that this prefession is thriving , experience needed( even more so than just a degree) can be very stressful but pay and position is secure if you're dedicated to making people profitable. It becones harder when ethics are involved.
What types of jobs would you recommend getting into?
Davita has roles for kidney/ Dialysis general manager, refocus Opthalmic administrators, Dermatology, Aesthetics, hospital administrators in a practice manager role.
I’m surprised that mechanical, electrical, civil, and environmental engineering didn’t make the list.
I work in Telecom site acquisition and permitting making in the low $100k. My job pays much more than my jobs related to my master’s of Urban Planning by $20-$30k per year. Feel like I hit the ceiling with pay grade and I am only 40 years old.
The fields like actuary, statistician, mathematician, and operational researcher are highly analytical and require long-term commitment to gain meaningful employment!
Air craft maintenance my husband is an A&P and in the aging out population. Some of his co workers have topped $300k due to overtime. This is going to be an issue in 5 years. Those Air Force mechanics aren’t there or they are in very high demand not just travel but ups or fed ex fleets. There are tech schools for A&P license
I wonder where cloud engineering (Security or DevOps) fits in here? I heard someone say that has >30% growth rate?
I remember when I was workin at the library in college there were so many nurses that needed books for those classes.
I’m aiming for somethin with animals but good lord it’s so competitive.
This is depression. This is an huge country with millions of people who do not have the skills or the means to acquire the skills to earning a salary that would provide a decent quality of life. My husband and are Gen X and the last of dinosaurs that will retire from civil service. We bought our house in the early 2000’s when mortgages were reasonable, paid of our college loans because of the forgiveness for working in government, and only had one child. I am greatly worried that my online child will have a financially more difficult life than his father and I. I am so concerned that I have advised him not to have any children because it’s getting more difficult to afford to be alive. There are millions of Americans, that are going to be locked out of the high paying job market in the future.
Online child? Do you have a real one too?
What about AI and DS professionals ?
EC-Council's CEH certification is another that you forgot to mention and it too is often seen as valid - and it's much easier to attain than CISSP is. Typically has a 2-year experience requirement IF it's not done through an academia partner - getting mine through Saddleback College which changes that game considerably and yes, if you get it through a school you can work around that 2-year minimum.
Software developer you said, let's go!!!!!
Engineering anything is dead. Especially in my area. I keep seeing on job boards, and interviewing for roles that require 3-6+ people to do with a low salary. I just want to quit and work at McDonalds doing 1 job and living in my car.
I hate hearing you want to learn valuable skills, do it on your own time but do it after you work our 60+ hour work weeks (including the weekends). I was considering enrolling into a MSME program but now forget it. I'm too burnt out at the end of the day to even care.
My late grandfather's timeless advice and wisdom is that a career/job path will come with many twists and turns and that many opportunities will arise in the future. If you want to hear timeless, wisdomly advice, ask the Great generation (while they're still alive).
I get emails for Production Supervisor jobs almost daily
I love your videos on jobs, work politics, and career training. I think you might want to dig deeper in your AI research here, because you seem to be recommending these jobs as generally safe, which I think is a mistake. Actuary, for example, is very likely to impacted heavily by AI BECAUSE it is mathematic and statistical. Have you heard of the Machine learning term, "statistical model"? These are precisely the types of problems ML/AI are suited to solving in the near future. I think it is wise to class future careers according to their likely shelf-life, rather than overall likelihood of being affected by AI. Everything will be affected. The question, in my opinion, is how and when.
What are your thoughts on fraud investigation? I can imagine it's something that AI can be good at but it's something that's interested me as well over time and I would imagine there's aspects of it that do need human input.
I can't speak for the growth of the field, but look for roles that require independent decision making and creativity. Ai can't do that (and probably never will)
Maybe I'll follow in Marge Innovera's footsteps and become a statistician.
7:00 my jungler is playing with a controller. This is why I can’t get ganks.
Software development is not going anywhere, ever. The only thing that will always change is how software is developed, be it write millions of lines of code or ask an AI to do it, it will still require someone to know how to describe and wire things up.
Hi hi... sounds like you've visited the future. What's it like?
Im in purchasing. Depends on the type of industry. Im a manager in Pharma and make about 115k. But ive seen Purchasing managers at 70-90k. My dad was making 130+
If I had my time again, I'd do geospatial engineering/GIS.
Yeah, but you need to know someone who knows someone to even get an interview these days. I could live comfortably on $120,000 year salary. I have no kids and I’m single, so it would be no prob for me.
This video talks about jobs that are forecasted to grow but then lists jobs like Nurse anesthetists and practitioners. Forget the education requirements, these are jobs that require years and years of experience after nursing school. These are not jobs that you can just switch into in the next 5 years. Also, the nursing field isn't as promising as people make it out to be. My sister is a nurse and has had her hours cut. So have a number of her coworkers. People know it's a solid field so they are trying to get into it. But a number of nurses she knows are looking to switch fields. The grind isn't equaling the pay.
Name any job type and you'll find someone saying the same thing.
@@ALifeAfterLayoff In Europe at least, nurses get paid shit, do shift work, on call work and are competing with new age professional degree fake nurses that have even cheaper salaries. It might be a AI proof work but its definitely not a high paying job.
From the list, at least that i know of i dont agree with Nurse, Software developer and Logistics, Logistics is a low paying job in Europe, Software developer is getting hit hard now with insane wage cuts and with an insane amount of people getting fired.
my plumber makes $150/hour....my car mechanic makes $200/hour....my electrician makes $125 / hour....no degree...no malpractice insurance...no loans to get started...no lawsuits....get the picture?
What mechanic makes $200/hr? Lmao tweaking. $200/hr is executive base pay 🤣
@@dre8160 he thinks just because the facility charges 200/hr means that the mechanic servicing his vehicle is making that LMAO.
I am interested in canada IT I live in Canada
Guys. Find a trade. Stop torturing yourselves with the corporate grind. U will thank me. I promise
Wish I could man I don’t have any trade skills
Wish I could man I have no trade skills
@@AcromansReef that’s why u become an apprentice. No one is born with trade skills. What kind of trade are u interested in? Let’s say you want to become an electrician. All you have to do, google some local electrical contractors (companies) in ur area and call them. Tell them u want to become an apprentice and boom. Will be one of the best decisions you’ve made in your life. They will hire you and put you through school. Now is the best time because the economy is booming
@@dougfoster445 I’m in my 30s and I have difficulty with technical skills. It would take 3 years to be considered an electrician and I can’t afford to only make 17 an hour for 3 years. I have been in marketing for 6 years now and idk what to do cuz I just got canned on BS
Cybersecurity entry level is ROUGH, I tried to get in and it was terrible… heavily over saturated for entry level. If you do have security clearance the. Cybersecurity is actually not a bad field to go I to it’s not bad at all.
Unless you go to big tech or super big name company with specific titles, you wont get 200-300k+ salary even with 10+ years of experience. And yet, most fresher think they should get that sort of salary right out of college. It is pathetic. As for 120k, it is not much these days but I bet 70%+ people in USA cant make even 120k salary. :(
"Software developers" I have 24 years of software development experience and I'm lucky if I get an interview every six months, then I usually don't get passed that because I'm missing some obscure "new thing" that they want because apparently software developers can't learn new technologies on the job.
I remember when you got hired to code, and you had to learn the entire code base when you were hired. That can mean learning multiple custom frameworks. But now if you don't know a well document framework, that has huge communities online and not just Joe who is leaving in a week, that you're to dumb to do the job.
"Software developer" positions are like playing the lottery. If each "skill" is a number, you have to have all the numbers line up, plus get the bonus number which is some arbitrary thing they come up with during the process.
If you have the stomach, and the mind for it, the upper echelons of academia are thriving, particularly in STEM subjects. Investments in research are rising thanks to the IRA, a sudden surge in institutional funding for green energy and materials research, and in environmental rehabilitation. Sure, the adjunctification of academia is an issue, but if you're well published and have a grant or two, you'll do absolutely fine. And if you're at a public university, and get tenure, that's lifelong job security.
Software developing will be replaced by AI. That is completely false.
The same jobs that were in demand before this latest wave of AI are still in demand.
Being a nurse practitioner (NP or ARNP) is tough. I do believe they are better than doctors when you choose an NP as your primary care physician. Reason being, we are used to seeing a patient as a whole person, not just a disease state that needs to be treated. We, along with nursing assistants, spend more time with patients than doctors do overall. When I can, I see an NP for whatever I need them for. In school, we are taught the Nursing Care Model of Patient Care, which is far different than the Medical Model. However, being an NP and seeing patients, diagnosing, and prescribing comes with the same challenges as physicians have. Long hours, a lot of after hours charting, and only getting to see patients for 15 minutes due to high demand.
NPs are a joke... they are not "better than doctors" and have WAY less training than doctors. Fortunately, in most places they still have to work under the supervision of an MD or a DO.
"I wouldn't trust AI with my health." That space is going gangbusters. I think in a few years, maybe less, you could easily switch out "AI" with "a human" in that sentence.
Actuary is one of the easiest jobs for AI to replace. Statistics, calculations, projections are all things that AI excels at. What it doesn't excel at is the wisdom to determine the true value of anything based on the world's response to whatever course of action is selected.
Is a Data Analyst same as a Business Analyst or Operations Research Analyst?
It's in the same genre.
Hey, @ALifeAfterLayoff,
You listed my profession right off the bat. The CISSP is more of an advanced cert for 5-7+ year veterans.
I recommend newbies start off with learning Network+ (and A+, for non-IT people). Then, get the Security+ or SSCP. These certs are more accessible for people staying out fresh or pivoting from another profession.
However, you're right that a CISSP does stand out in Info Sec. It reflects how dedicated someone is so far in their career.
You're in a good niche!
Unless the longer-term pay for the career isn't 250k+, then it's not worth the investment.
These jobs are not in demand. Nobody will hire for any of these without years of experience. Especially cybersecurity, cybersecurity courses are the biggest scam. To be a nurse practitioner you need to be a rn for at least 10 years. Also the competition for tech jobs is is unreal. My company put a job ad for a job in security and the requirements were long as a book. My advice start doing real work i.e. trades.
Agreed 👍
You don’t need to be an RN for 10 years, just a couple, but I think it behooves any RN to get that experience first. As an RN id go to an md knowing what little experience most NPs have. Docs have internships and fellowships after 4 years of med school which is a better knowledge base and more experience.
@@Gioli565 I live in Canada. To get into med school it's nearly impossible.
I was skeptical from the beginning that software engineers would be threatened by AI. While it is true that some of the more mundane tasks a software engineer may undertake may be automated (and some have been even before any AI was introduced into the market), there is much more to this job that still requires the human brain to accomplish. Also, software engineers are basically the fathers of the very technology that we speak of here - is the creation really going to be greater than its creator?
I'm an outdoors/non-technical/creative type.
None of the professions listed resonated with me.
I don't belong in these times.
I feel like such a fool for choosing the wrong career path
What did you choose?
@@KQY614 I went into tech support for MacOS, of which AI will be a serious threat to not too long from now. Plus being a niche specialty actually hurt me when I was looking again, which Bryan spoke about in one of his videos.
I was fired from my previous tech role while I was dealing with a medical issue, which limited my search to WFH only. I had lost passion for tech in general (office politics in that field too) but continued to look until I fell for an employment scam.
I then wanted to go into a different trade (electrical work), but complications from that medical issue prevent me from being on my feet for 8-12hrs per day as it would require.
If I had went into that trade like I originally wanted to in 2013, I would be laughing right now. Sometimes you are your own worst enemy without even realizing it.
It's not too late.
Software developers are not going anywhere. AI may one day be a threat but not quiet yet. BTW I don't see AI really doing anything correct for me yet...
AI is a red herring. It is just another design pattern.
So basically no careers I qualify for?😭😭😭😭😭
Make yourself qualifed
Like I been saying since the invention of the Internet, now an American is competing for job with the world instead just the United States they live in.
UA-cam Grifter will always be a popular career choice.
If DEI officer is on your list I’m going to throw up.
No, not on the list.
Cybersecurity analyst... absolutely false (though it WAS true in 2022). My husband is in the industry and he said entry level roles have become extremely difficult to get over the last year or so since companies think they can replace it with AI. It's extremely difficult to get a cybersecurity analyst job at entry level. Once you reach mid-level, however, there aren't enough people, but they want you to have entry level experience first.... a catch 22 since it's so hard to get.
Oh wow surprise surprise, most jobs that pay well and arent going anywhere are in stem & medical, shocking😱
I would add the niche world of industrial automation. Even in this market I get messages for all sorts of different positions. If u have life science experience it’s even better.
It’s one of those fields that AI is going to augment rather than replace. Engineers are using AI to train industrial robots to do a lot of things. Those things will still need to be set up and run.
Disagree re AI on cybersecurity. It is one of the jobs that definitely AI can take over.
