Josh trying to be hip with the kids! 😂 love it Think you meant to say "Sweaty" instead or "Sweating". How do I know? Because I'm a sweaty valorant player.
Same got my CCNA and bachelors in IT and a couple years ago I’d be sitting good but by the time I got it all together a couple weeks ago I started looking and was like “my god where did the jobs go” lol.
@@papercliprain3222 i have a cybersecurity degree from wgu with comptia certs ranging from A+ to PenTest+, 2 homelabs and its a struggle. About to accept a remote help desk position for poverty pay
I have been working in the I.T for quite some time without a degree that works as a RHEL Linux Admin. I built my entire I.T career with my homelab alone. I think having a homelab is beneficial as it sets you apart from the rest as you have something to talk about and show case during your interviews. Most employers want practical hands on experience opposed to just only passing an exam.
Yup, exams mostly consist of questions with multiple choices. In the real world, there aren't questions with multiple choices. Only right or wrong options. In such a situation, the only thing that matters is your practical knowledge, not some fancy degree that onlg projects your knowledge on a piece of paper. No offence to degree holders.
I was talking with my bro, and I think I’ve concluded that getting a degree in cybersecurity (maybe even a masters) is the way to go. I have many of my coworkers in sales that are going into cybersec or IT, and if I see this on my day to day, I can assume that the career is getting popular. Lots of competition coming up.
I personally don’t recommend cybersecurity. I got the Sec+ and B.S degree and even Helpdesk aren’t really hiring. I swear this has been the worst degree choice I made.
Currently doing my bachelor's degree in cybersecurity and hold a certificate IV in cybersecurity, I intend on obtaining some vendor/ vendor neutral certificates, and current studying for security+ . I'm in Australia btw
I say the degree is king in most situations unless you’re a good self learner. With all the layoffs in tech you will be competing with people that have multiple degrees and exchange students working on masters or PhDs. I think the degree is well worth it
@@JoshMadakor I did some of course careers I just never finished it but your course helped me alot when they started asking me about azure. So with that I started doing volunteer work.
If I have a bachelor degree in education. Is it better to get the certifications??? Then, I plan on taking your cyber course. Afterwards, taking your internship. :)
Not an expert, but I think certs and a portfolio would be fine for you. I talk to a lot of professionals in my job who got into IT with different degrees.
I feel personally attacked

Learning to be articulate in conversations in general is a very crucial you don't where you would find yourself tomorrow.

Everyone's aunties and uncles want to get into IT and Cyber, lol.
Saturation by social media at its finest.

It's really an unprecedented tough market now and it's always been tough for entry level. Try a staffing agency like TekSystems @@bryangallardo5048
all hail the god of cybersecurity
lol 🦺😮💨

Sweating valorant player 🤣🤣
I have something against Valorant, lol
Both?
Yes help me decide. I have no IT experience and can’t decide whether to go for a degree or certifications
Degree bro and then work on certifications

I just started some volunteer work in IT but never done IT but do you think this will be a great way to land a job in IT?
Yeah absolutely, experience is a really valuable piece of the puzzle when trying to break in.
