For context, I’ve been making 6 figures for months but never cared to share it on here on RUclips because my goal is not incentivizing cybersecurity as a cash cow but rather a rewarding career. Also, I’m turning 20 soon so might as well lol
@@lateshastechtipstricksandt335 Thank You💙
Really inspirational man! even if you aren’t trying to incentivize cyber security it should with the right dedication how far you can go, I’m 25 and I just got my Network+ and studying for the Security+ and these videos keep me motivated!
@@gabrieljr8171 Great!
That's awesome..representation matters. I am black person in my 30s and always want to work on IT. I came across another black person in tech on RUclips. This inspired me to go back to school after suffering depression for five years. I was recently offered a job just under six figures.
I never thought it would be possible for people like me.
I wish you a fruitful and long career.
Courage... Never Give Up, the best is yet to come!
Congrats, what's the update and what route did you take?
Great video! It’s crazy how similar our stories are…I come from a west African immigrant family as well and I got in an accident also in 2020 and the beginning of that year was very rough for me too. I don’t have a degree and It was also the year I got my 6 figure dream job , except I was 20. Doing internship programs, certifications, and networking really was my secret to success. Best of luck to you brother! 🤝
It’s really crazy how similar lol
@tree fiddy I’m looking to get into cyber security as well. Would you mind emailing me?
@@byronja4296 email ?
I’m so proud of you! You remind me so much of my younger brother, he’ll be 17 in April and I wish he would stop trying to fit in and be cool and take this route. Starting WGU BSIT 3/1. Keep up the great work!
This is actually crazy inspiring considering I found you when u were still making comptia exam videos haha. Great work dude! Keep it up
Thanks Yung!
Love this video my man. 100% valuable. I didn’t care for the money aspect but really enjoyed hearing your personal story. Gives more context to who you are and how you always show the dedication in giving back to the community. You are a real one for sure and everything you have is earned completely. I just hope your channel grows faster because more people could use your mentoring.
Much appreciated man 💙
@@DayCyberwox ❤️
Congrats Day!
I have been following your channel from the get go and I am super happy for you. It’s hard to bare it all like you did but you got it out somehow and so modestly too.
I commend your openness, your candor, your boldness and the tempered audacity with which you roll out your contents.
Your humility is unmistakable. It is clearly evident in your gentle nature, countenance, tone, narratives and demeanor.
Worthy of note is the fact that you are dispassionate and self critical in your analysis. Consciously avoiding distractions, self discipline and your passion for excellence has definitely kept you laser focused on the “things that matter” which has got you to where your are today in life and career.
This is just the beginning. You are surely going higher. I wish you well man!
Thank you!
Love it whenever fellow believers continue to attribute their success to their faith. Lines tend to get blurred when you make such money, keep representing the faith brother!🙏
I wish this video existed 20 years ago. Thank you for sharing your personal life experiences. I am trying to transition from IT to Cybersecurity so I am sort of starting over and trying to build my skills up to be focused on Cybersecurity
This is truly inspiring me and many others out there. I have been sick for a while months physically and mentally and i am going through many things right now if not the worst daily. I feel like if i was not sick for the last couple months, i would have gotten a job because i was putting the time, efforts and the energy for the skills that is needed. I live in the US now and came here as an immigrant from East Africa, just turned into 18 last month so i been here for 5 five and months since. I am just praying to God that may he take away all this things that i am going through so i can live better life, Thank you.
Safe Recovery!
@@majestinostario1341 Thank you for your words!
I gotta admit you’re absolutely killing it as an older person I wish I could’ve heard this 30 years ago but this is what I keep telling my son if he’ll put in the extra effort now and it’ll work out. Oh, he’s graduating high school in three years this year as a junior, and he has desires for the medical field call but so many people or dictate I guess the games and everything else that and then they’re shocked later on in life when they haven’t made anything their wife well done
I wish that I would have been this wise and focused and willing to take a chance in tech at this age. I'm about 20+ years behind, in my opinion. God bless you, young bro.
Thanks for the video! So smart at 19 yrs old, cute too. Welcome to the US! Don't be depressed, just keep moving.
Thank for sharing! Another immigrant here. Inspiring!
People complain only about the wealth gap, but never about the effort gap 🤷♂️
Thanks for watching! YES, The effort gap!!
As far as finances go for now just live by these simple rules --- SPEND LESS THAN WHAT YOU MAKE -- LIVE OFF LESS THAN WHAT YOU EARN--STAY CLEAR OF CC DEBT. keep doing that while learning to invest and manage your money you'll be just fine lol thanks for the videos man you are way ahead of your time I actually use your videos to try to motivate my 16yr old
That’s the play for sure! Thanks you, and I wish your 16 yr old all the best.
Bro you are truly inspiring.... Watching you sonce 600 subs. Truly impressive Brother leep doing your thing
POWERFUL!!!
Congratulations my guy! I plan to have my 3kids in the same position.
Good stuff! I come from an immigrant family as well and I now make 6 figures at 23 in I.T. Anything is possible
Proud of your bro 💪 sky’s the limit.
Thanks Brodie!
damn dawg...insane how wise some people are at a young age. im turnign 27 soon and ur way ahead of me in that department. You think ur not privilaged like a native born american, but i think othwerwise, from experiance. Im from ukraine and damn i wouldnt trade my childhood for anything. growing up in a less fortunate environtment really teaches you about value. i hope you make some content where you go deeper into how you looked for work, how to better sell yourself through job apps/inteviews, things you've learned along the way, green and red flags etc. im going to take a+ exam hopefully in upcoming week, the content is TOUGH, volume-wise.
Powerful, it'll be great if he releases such videos!
Congrats on your success! you are killing it!
Keep being you bro! Keep up the transparency as you get comfortable it only fuels motivation. Positive vibes your way.
Thanks Narciso!
Wonderful and humbly storyline on your financial journey. Bro you're indeed an inspiration. Blessings
Thanks Jean 💙
Thank you for sharing Day. I follow you and your advice helped me reach Security+ certification. Looking for to CISSP soon but starting with CySA+ and PenTest+. Best of luck to you, your story inspires us for real man
Truly inspirational! I'm very lucky to stumbled upon your contents and your community. Comes a great 2022 to you Abisola.
Thanks Long!
That’s awesome bro! You’re doing very well for yourself! I’m currently trying to transition into the cyber security field. I’m taking certs and I’m working on my network+ atm. It’s rough but hoping I get into security+ soon!
All the best!!
@@DayCyberwox thanks!!
Alhamdulilah 🥳
Well done for being brave enough to disclose your growth
I really needed this thanks bro
Great video bro, I am a minority 28 in IT moving towards the security direction. I am paid more than those without a degree but the politics and the corporate "game" are a mean one. I am realizing i value my time for than money. Becoming more independent as a contractor and moving away from big business. I respect you and your channel but i would take a leap into becoming self sustainable in the future. especially if your birthday is this month and if you are an Aquarius you got the skill set. If you are a pisces you may have to do some soul searching. look it up. God Bless. "Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free - John 8:32"
Thanks you! I do like the corporate game, I’m also quite career oriented but I also have plans for buildings something of my own in the future. Also, I factor company culture in my career decisions, this helps me with working at organizations where I don’t have to worry about politics.
Amen🙏🏽
Keep up the good work !
Awesome video man. I believe I recall asking for a salary progression video. This is great!. I also got here about 6years ago at 18 then when I enrolled in my IT/CS degree. It’s definitely been an awesome journey so far. Any tips on been a pro in piano ? Lol have been an amateur for years now, need to dedicate more time eh.
Thanks man! I’d like to do an actual salary progression video but that’ll probably be later in the year. Hahah yeah, more practice 😉
I just turned 30 looking to get into a new field dog work, wish I knew what you know at such a young age.
Where're you working?
@@majestinostario1341 industrial manufacturing. I need advice on getting started.
Thank you for sharing. ❤️🙏🏾
Thank you for this bro
Another banger vid man great job! I wanted to ask for some advise as a fellow 19 year old myself struggling to figure what I want to do with my life. I've been studying for the sec plus and building my home lab(Using your vid's as guidance) but I have no enjoyment in anything related with cyber sec or IT. The main drive I had was to do since my family was kind of pressuring me to get a good job and also since I wanted to work remotely. I crave being alone ever since I was a child in which I find comfort in. You helped me get out of this rut I had of depression and other mental illnesses to study for the sec plus test but I didn't enjoy anything even when building and working on the monitoring and detection lab. I've been looking into software development and software testing but still cant put a finger on what I would like to do man feel lost. Would love some advice as a fellow brother in Christ.
Hey man! That’s a tough spot to be in and it’s hard to succeed at something if you’re not interested in it. It seems like you’ve explored IT & Cybersecurity stuff, however, have you tried anything cloud related? I’d recommend trying your interest in that and see if you like it.
Now if that still doesn’t interest you, I have to suggestions - ask God to guide you according to HIS will for your life and to show you the way he wants you to go. Secondly take a personality test and figure what “type” you are and start exploring other things. You can always find success in other things that you’re wired for 🙂
I hope this helps!
@@DayCyberwox thanks brother. I will check it out to see if it’s something I like. I’m an Intp-T (5w4) by the way…I’ve been analyzing you in ur vids and it seems to me that u might be an INTJ-A. Well thanks for the advice and keep it up bro.
Good guess. Actually an INFJ-A
Dope very inspiring!
Great vid appreciate it
I would like to know if you have any advice for beginners in the field attempting to get a job but with no experience
Yep! Everything is covered here: ruclips.net/p/PLDqMNdDvMsRm6JTifR6DD8T4hIPnivM8v
Hey bro I’m a musician as well , I was wonder if u could do a video or elaborate in the comments how you find a balance too do all these things such as working studying music extracurriculars etc
I am security plus certified and I still csnt get an internship
As someone with no experience whatsoever what do you suggest? Getting comptia Certs?
Must be in a HCOL area.
Lmfaooo if Texas is a HCOL, idk what to tell you😗
Well done man, the title alone is very inspiring. Keep it up. When it comes to studying, do you have any specific revision techniques? Such as active recall, spaced repetition etc.
Thanks man. Tbh no, I think consistency is my main focus. For me, studying is a habit and I incorporate it into my daily life. However, I’m looking into more effective forms of studying to improve my learning.
@@DayCyberwox Facts discipline trumps motivation all day. Enjoy your weekend.
Bro. Tell us
How cyber security person work on the feild
What are the taskes are perforemd on the job by pentration tester, blueteam, infosec, cyber security analyst or may on other jobs
What tools they used or many other thing
🐐🐐🐐🐐
🙏🏽🙏🏽you’re more 🐐ed for being my mentor
@@DayCyberwox you keep me motivated 💪🏽
I think you should be more careful assuming every American has privilege. I am first gen and I was born in the usa. and idk if it is because you have only been here for 4/5 years but I think you have some learning to do about this country and it's poverty before assuming. It needs to stop. but congrats on the current job!
Thanks for pointing that out. I do understand that not every American has certain privileges and I’m quite educated about the situations, struggles, poverty, discrimination and most other social issues, however, my point is - which I still stand on - being born in America is a privilege. Being a first gen, I’m sure you understand what your parents had to go through in terms of not being born here, that’s what I’m referring to.
I think it's very naïve to think that being born in America does not come with certain privileges even if you are poor. Being an immigrant of any kind means you deal with different things that a born American never would, be it learning a new language, just not having certain knowledge necessary for example on how to apply for colleges, having to deal with financial or legal hurdles, dealing with work visa etc. You need to stop just seeing things from your perspective and look at how people around you have to deal with things be they a different race, gender or yes nationality.
