    When I was growing up in Silicon Valley in the 1980's, my college buddies were talking about a fast-growing company in Menlo Park called Cisco as we were standing around the keg one midnight. I saw the potential of networking and the Internet back in the early days and spent a lot of time experimenting and building through the ensuing years. I finally got my foot in the door (of Cisco) in '96. I can't even begin to say just how much of a life-changing decision it was to learn as much as possible about networking and technology early in my career. There are even more opportunities today and the accessibility of those opportunities is much better than it used to be (back in the old days). It's all about the motivation!

    I've been in IT and networking for the better part of 30 years. I have yet to see a David Bombal video where I walked away having not learned something. Content is always top shelf. This one is on point - accept who you are, stay curious, carve away some of that social media / TV time to learn something that can change your professional life and alter your trajectory. The best predictor of the future is building it.

I already bought your course from Udemy (the course CCNA), but also I think the computer еngenieer like you is more easy to learn and upgrade with anything: Develop software, programing, maintain network etc. beоcuse your basic education is computer/system/programing engineering... etc. You have the basic knowledge about how its work. I am machine engineer and now I learning from you the theory of Network. I think that will need me more time to mastered this matter. But I am not give up. I will pass the CCNA exam... I hope. :)

    Canton Ohio?! I’m from Kent, my brother!! Man, I grew up really poor…single mom in an area called Silver Meadows, which was the Kent version of lower income housing. There’s so much I can relate to in this video! From nothing, and through hard work I was our teams Tiger Member of 2021 for Red Hat. Hard work pays off, and anyone can do it with the right attitude and drive. I love this video - now subscribed!!

    Thank you. So many issues I'm broadly dealing with (mindset). long term illness for the last several years thats become chronic. For 10 years prior I worked in investment banking. But in 2017 I became very I'll, and unable to work since. While recovering, I knew IB was in the past, but hopeless without any direction. I struggle with cognitive issues and reading/processing now.
    Somehow I found your channel and it clicked... always loved tech... Good at it... Now I know there's a path to a career and life change. I'm starting with A+ and want to get into cybersec...leaning blue, but purple and red are fine too. Fortunately I have the time and the drive, but routine is the challenge. I need to regain the structure. Everyone has their own challenges...its up to me to work through them. This was very motivating and much needed. TY

    Well to properly motivate me to actually finish studying the CCNA that I started on like two years ago, I went ahead and scheduled the exam. My retail job does add to my motivation a bit more every day.

    Great message, and unexpected.
    Financial freedom = power. Power is your ability to exert control over your own life (not the life of others). I have 2 full years of living expenses saved as my 'emergency' fund. That's not my only 'backup' account. No company has leverage over me.
    Don't waste time/money/effort on college. Identify a skill with high market demand, then master that skill.
    Don't fall for the consumerism. They want you to be on a 30+ year debt treadmill (removing your power). With the possible exception of a house - if you can't pay cash for it, don't buy it.
    The used 2012 Camry for $5k will take you to all the same places as the 2022 C8 Corvette for $95k.
    Minimalism is the key to success. Minimalism often gets confused as 'don't buy stuff you don't need'. I would define it as: don't buy things that won't significantly enhance your life. I'd rather spend 5k on that Camry, and invest the excess 90k (being honest it will be 105+ after financing) in blue chip stocks, and experiences over the next few years.

    You mentioned education in tech is becoming more accessible. You, David, are one of the reasons that is the case. So grateful for all the content you provide. Even if I don't ultimately make the jump into a tech job, I am grateful for the knowledge itself.
