    2) hack nasa and Pentagon.

    At 72 years of age I have no intention of 'getting a job' in any field but I must say that I find you and Neil extremely interesting and informative. I am actually checking out your leads and have started delving and participating in the basic training and other leads you talk about. I've learned so much since I started following you guys. I've started setting up my home lab and look forward to hacking myself if nothing else. :) Keep up the good work. It is great even for old folk like me. It keeps our brains alive.

      I switched over from the medical field 3 years ago. Went back to school. Got an IT degree. Focus on Cyber Defense. Graduated. Got my Sec+ and finally after almost a year got my first job in IT. Security is tough to get into and will take patience and time. Clear your schedule to learn ethical hacking. It’s a rabbit hole. Fun but a rabbit hole. Find a good mentor to help because sometimes reading isn’t enough.

I started an Ethical Hacking course on Udemy and so far I've really enjoyed it and I'll be switching careers hopefully sooner rather than later. At 48 it's a bit scary switching up careers but based on what I'm learning so far I'm really enjoying it. What I like best about your channel is how thorough you are with your questions and making sure that your viewers get all the information we need to get ahead and succeed in the IT field.
