Thank you for 1.3k subs 🥰♥️ i really appreciate all of your support and hope you’ll follow along for the rest of my journey in cybersecurity. Happy sunday!! 💞
After only 2 of your videos and a month of contemplation. You just convinced me to take the jump and commit to getting into this career. Hands up to a career change at 30 ! Lol
Same ! I’m also 30 and I’ve been wanting to switch into a tech career ( I currently work in warehousing and I’m sooooo sick of it). Watching her videos on cyber security really has my mind going :)
I’m in a similar position right now haha been watching loads of her videos and really thinking about a change at 29 (currently in manufacturing and it’s soul sucking). I know it’s been a while since you’ve responded here but how are things? Have you made steps towards the shift?
Your pace of speech is perfect. I can pay attention and stay engaged in what you’re saying. I find most people talk too slow for my brain to follow. Don’t worry too much about what others say!
Loved the video, very informative. I’m researching more on Cyber security as I’m considering trying it out. Complete noob here but will be watching more of your videos for motivation and information on how to get started.
Love this video - I'm writing my dissertation at UCL on cybersecurity risks in remote work, and planning to enter the field of Cybersecurity in the future so this was really helpful! Thank you!
Awesome video! I'm newly transitioning into cyber security, coming from a background of advocating for children in the social work & investigations arena. Explaining that cyber security advocates for people in the digital & security world...falls in line with my skill set & knowledge. And I love the fact, you'll never get bored in this field..because I stay hella bored 🤣. And your voice is fine..I talk fast too!
@@chicamexicana22 I love it! And coming from a social work background as well, you'll have alot of softskills to help you pivot over to cyber security.
Thank you for making this video! I have a bachelors in Early Childhood Education, and I just quit the field all together! I’m now looking to get into Tech and I’ve started taking an IT course on Coursera. I yearn to go further with an interest in Cybersecurity !❤️
heyy how is it going because im in a similar boat, i studied education studies and want to get into cybersecurity but im searching up ways to get into it
I am an aviation technician that makes about 80k a year but its very physically demanding and I've lost passion in it. I've always been into computers and basic cyber security things so I'm thinking of going to a cyber bootcamp. Since I already have a bachelors in aviation, I don't want to go back to college.
Hello Sandra, i've been completely lost with no direction and have really dug deep into my thoughts on what I want to pursue and love the idea of Cybersecurity. I have no degree and no experience in tech or cyber but plan on exploring my options to get my foot in the door. What advice could you provide as far as steps for someone like me :) Thank you for the informative video!
Hi, I'm not Sandra but I saw this and thought I'd respond. You should know if you want to be on the blue team or the red team. But since you've never been in tech, you want to be sure that your knowledge of computers and networks is great. You can check out the comptia a+ and network+ certs to give you the solid foundation you need; you don't have to take the exams but the knowledge really helps. You want to read for these certs as if you're going to take the exams. Then take the security+, that's a good foundation for cyber professionals.
Also, check out your state department of labor site and career services. The White House initiative included announcements of grants for people who want to work in cybersecurity- you might not need to pay anything for a bootcamp
Thank you so much for the support!! Lmk if there's any other vid topics you wanna see :) I'm thinking of making a vid on the cons of cyber security roles too to get the full perspective lol
Thank you for your channel! I’ve been wanting to get into cybersecurity for years now. So I need as much advice as I can. There are times where you talk too fast but I still like your videos and your content is great.
Aw thanks so much!! :) yes i get that speed thing sometimes haha, definitely good feedback, i just forget when im talking about topics and i get a bit too into my words lol
Just found out about your channel yestarday. So glad I found it so much useful information for a field that I want to enter and it's nice that you talk about your expierncebtoo cause it helps to know how the field is and what it's like
You should try getting a beginner certification in cyber, a good one is Comptia Security+ but i have a video on beginner certs here for more options: Best Cyber Security Certifications For Beginners | Best Entry Level IT Certifications & What to know ua-cam.com/video/vgBQV7jDTsE/v-deo.html - and then try to get free pentesting experience on Hackthebox/Tryhackme/DVWA/etc! Goodluck with everything! :)
Hmm I hadn’t thought about it before but I definitely think that’d be cool :D i’ll look into it more and see how that’d be set up, thank you for the recommendation Haseeb 😆
Thanks so much, i really appreciate it :)! Please feel free to let me know any vid topics you'd like to see too! Can be anything from cyber security/tech/career advice/etc!
Thanks for keeping up with these videos! Will you do any ctf solving videos or tool tutorials? I'm interested to see what's it's like to solve those and not just struggle on them myself right off the bat :P
Thanks for watching! :) I made a video on one of the try hack me challenges but just haven’t edited it yet but i’m also planning on creating a high level video on the tools used by pentesters! And dw, i still struggle on CTFs and a lot of my mentors say the same too so honestly it’s funner to learn through the process otherwise it’s probs too easy of a CTF challenge 😆
What would you recommend a certificate in cyber security or a masters in cyber security? Knowing that I already have a bachelors in CS but because i haven’t had any internships, I am struggling to find to a job , so I decided to go for cyber security!
Thank you for the detailed explanation, however request you to lower down the rate of speech. A slight miss on focus and bang I am miles behind. so I had to rewind and listen to it again and again. Just a suggestion. Thanks
What is the name of the discord channel you follow? What are some of the Twitter pages you follow ? Do you have any podcast, other UA-cam channels or any other specific community leaders I should follow to be come apart of this community? Thank you in advanced.
Great video! Would I be wasting my time going through a bootcamp for a Security+ certification, without any degrees? Are there any entry level positions where a degree isn’t required?
Hey thanks for watching :)! You should look into the year up program, they have partnerships with big companies that want to hire diverse background candidates with a ged/hs or associates, a security+ would be a huge cherry on top if you get into that program, good luck !!
No, you’re not wasting your time. I’m doing a boot camp for the project and hands on experience. If you’re a hands on learner or need external motivation then boot camps are great. I’m working on my CompTIA certifications too. It’s good knowledge and looks good for job applications/interviews.
I don't have help desk experience but many people Ik do, but i even know people in cyber security w a psychology background since a lot of it is dealing with people hacking, if you're starting from the very beginning, a help desk role might be an easy first job to get your feet wet while you study for a cert or two to get into other cyber security jobs, good luck Felix!
Hi 🙋🏽♂️ !! Sandra which degree is a better option BAS in Management Information Systems or the BAS in Cyber Security pretty much finished all my core classes?
MIS is more focused towards business analyst roles/analytics roles so if you’re looking to get into cyber-focused jobs (security analyst, pentesting, Info sec consultant, etc) then definitely a BAS in cyber security! MIS is a lot more business focused but can also be good for roles that sit between the security/technical teams and the business side, so both are great majors but can lead to different career paths! Good luck making your decision :D
Aw thanks 🥺 i try to think about things positively but at one point want to work abroad so hopefully can still do something security/tech related there lol
@@shake_shells11 hmm idk exactly buti was thinking of japan, singapore, maybe taiwan/hong kong or something, would have to look into what companies are there tholol
Hi, please am ambitious of cyber security but I don't know how to start. I don't know whether I can study the course and become a position like incidence responder or I have to start with the lowest field
Thank you, for the video. Can you make a comparison with big data jobs, there are also in trend and companies produce data every day, so consequently, the demand for these jobs (data analyst, science etc.) will grow and it is stable, please give your opinion One more thing, are there business ideas that can be started with cybersecurity experience, what business can an expert in this field start?
Hey, thanks for the suggestion! :) i’ll def look into this topic since i’m also a huge fan of the data science/ML world. There are many cyber security startups i’ve seen but many of them have experience in the field and see the gaps and areas that companies need third parties for, i would start with consulting if you’re trying to start a cyber business bc it gives you insight into what companies want in terms of security and how you can make their environment more secure
Hi Larisa! I've heard of it but haven't looked into it too much, it looks like a good program from just the website but i would really want to look at a bootcamp with corporate partners so you know they have companies working with them or that directly hire from the bootcamp program, good luck Larisa! Keep me updated :)
@@WithSandra Hi Sandra, I wanted to follow up on my previous comment. Thank you for taking the time to respond. After looking more into the program I entered I came across this info: To get you to this point, Fullstack Cyber Bootcamp leads you through a five-part curriculum covering Foundations (AWS basics, Linux Command Line, Computing and Networking Concepts), Security Essentials (Data Encoding, Basic Cryptography, Networking and HTTP, System Administration, Security Concepts), Red Team (Ethical Hacking, Penetration Testing Methodology, Attack Types, OWASP Top 10), and Blue Team (Threat Modeling, Aws Best Security Practices + Tools, Firewalls, System Hardening, Identity and Access Management, Log Hunting, Splunk, Incident Response). Last, you’ll complete a Final Project, which will be a powerful tool as you apply for your first role. Do you have any recommendations on any certificates I should look into before this?
I'm finishing my diploma in computer systems technology, I just got accepted for a graduate certificate program at Seneca for cybersecurity & threat management, I'm so hyped, my question, do you think a diploma program and a cybersecurity postgrad would land me a good job, would it be equivalent to a CISSP? I'm trying to work towards sys admin, SOC analyst role
Is the grad certification program similar to a masters? I think certs like CISSP do well because many recruiters are told to look for that certification while they’re scanning through resumes which helps them get their foot in the door easier. Your degree and grad cert program can definitely make you qualified for a cyber role but just make sure you write your resume in a way that those resume scanning tools they use will pick up on the right keywords!
Hi, I'm currently in the process of college applications. I'm having a struggle deciding between majoring in bio vs cyber security. If I went down the cyber security path, would you reccomend I major in cyber security? Would that set me up for success within the field? Thanks.
I know the question is directed towards her but I just wanted to put in my input in case it helps. It depends what you want to do with that bio degree. I was majoring in astrophysics until recently when my priorities changed. If you're planning on doing research with bio you might not be getting paid as much as your degree is worth. That is why I didnt want to pursue astrophysics even though I've been going to school for it. Its competitive and a bachelor's does not pay as much as I would like, heck my current job pays more. Cybersecurity pays very well. It's a hard choice but if you want a well paying job I would definitely choose Cyber Security. Hope this helped a little
I have a degree in bio and am now looking into cyber security. Only go into bio if you absolutely love the field and are openly either working in the lab or doing grunt work for scientists. Of course, this is just my experience but thought I would add my pov :)
@@carolinatorres7575 absolutely agree. They make it seem like bio majors make so much money but they simply do not unless you have a phd/master’s or want to climb the corporate latter
Hello Mam, I am looking to do my masters in UK, but confused of taking the best course data analytics or cyber security? I am an average student with less knowledge of coding and statistics. Please help me
im currently in confusion I have two options in front of me one I could enrol in EC-Council university or I could enrol in saintleo university for an MBA in cyber security what should I prefer to need your guidance
Hi Yashika, thanks for your question! I think these are both great options but I think you'll at most need a bachelor's degree for Cyber security entry level roles so i don't think an MBA would be necessary yet, unless you already have experience in cyber security and are looking towards a more senior/management position. I'd stick with the option that is the best financial choice but still has a competitive cyber security program that teaches real skills, good luck with your decision! :)
Bachelors in Cyber security, Information technology, or Computer science would be perfect! They each have a courses differences so pick the major that resonates most with you, good luck! :)
Which major is best for undergraduate student computer science BSc Hons or computer science (cyber security), BSc Hons I don't have much experience in neither of'em so what would u suggest :) Plz reply 🙏
I don’t have a specific brand for laptops but definitely at least 8gb of ram if not 16gb since you may use VMs, i7, ssd. Many entry level cyber roles will hire you with a cyber degree but it’s definitely helpful to have some cyber internship experience and beginner certifications!
Thanks so much! :D I have a vid on reasons why NOT to go into cyber too if you wanna hear those, just to give the full picture of pros and cons!: ua-cam.com/video/_dOPcMpTPig/v-deo.html
I dont have a laptop brand preference since my company actually assigned me a laptop 😅 but i would definitely want 16gb ram preferably DDR4, intel i7, and your ssd anything over 256gb!
Actually!! If this is for school (which i didnt read at first lol) i’d go the refurbished route, and focus on 8 gb ram and at least i5, that’ll be much better for your budget, the storage is more flexible if you’re in school too since you’ll probably get a laptop from your employer when you graduate! I had a refurbished lenovo thinkpad in college and ik the dell xps is a good choice too, good luck w everything! :)
Based on comptia security+ FAQ www.comptia.org/faq/security/how-much-can-i-make-with-a-comptia-security-certification the median income is $81,100 but it definitely varies a lot from state/company! They show the 25th-90th percentile of salary too

im currently in confusion I have two options in front of me one I could enrol in EC-Council university or I could enrol in saintleo university for an MBA in cyber security what should I prefer to need your guidance
Hi Yashika, thanks for your question! I think these are both great options but I think you'll at most need a bachelor's degree for Cyber security entry level roles so i don't think an MBA would be necessary yet, unless you already have experience in cyber security and are looking towards a more senior/management position. I'd stick with the option that is the best financial choice but still has a competitive cyber security program that teaches real skills, good luck with your decision! :)
Is cybersecurity is long term career?
what degree should i get to get into cyber security?
Which degree would you recommend for this career path
Bachelors in Cyber security, Information technology, or Computer science would be perfect! They each have a courses differences so pick the major that resonates most with you, good luck! :)
Which major is best for undergraduate student computer science BSc Hons or computer science (cyber security), BSc Hons
I don't have much experience in neither of'em so what would u suggest :)
Plz reply 🙏

How about advance diploma in cyber security. Will i be able to get job after graduation? And can you suggest some laptops for cybersecurity ?
I don’t have a specific brand for laptops but definitely at least 8gb of ram if not 16gb since you may use VMs, i7, ssd. Many entry level cyber roles will hire you with a cyber degree but it’s definitely helpful to have some cyber internship experience and beginner certifications!
Do you need a degree to get started?
Interesting stuff!! Is cybersecurity a difficult field? Do you think it’s worth it compared to other fields?
Thanks so much! :D I have a vid on reasons why NOT to go into cyber too if you wanna hear those, just to give the full picture of pros and cons!: ua-cam.com/video/_dOPcMpTPig/v-deo.html

what certifications programs are the best for the field?
like online classes for it not necessarily basics.
im going to school for cyber security analysis, i was wondering what is the best laptop to use?
I dont have a laptop brand preference since my company actually assigned me a laptop 😅 but i would definitely want 16gb ram preferably DDR4, intel i7, and your ssd anything over 256gb!
Actually!! If this is for school (which i didnt read at first lol) i’d go the refurbished route, and focus on 8 gb ram and at least i5, that’ll be much better for your budget, the storage is more flexible if you’re in school too since you’ll probably get a laptop from your employer when you graduate! I had a refurbished lenovo thinkpad in college and ik the dell xps is a good choice too, good luck w everything! :)
I got a bach in Psychology and now doing Software Eng Masters, so Cybersec makes the most sense for me, I think
Great Content but,

Hey Sandra how much can you expect to make with security plus certification in an entry level salary?
Based on comptia security+ FAQ www.comptia.org/faq/security/how-much-can-i-make-with-a-comptia-security-certification the median income is $81,100 but it definitely varies a lot from state/company! They show the 25th-90th percentile of salary too
Do u need to be a computer genius 😅
