      how much knowledge or what skills are required to get into these internships, just really need some guidance, I did some self-study on basic networking and on cybersecurity fundamentals from cisco academy also did basic pentesting, starting to learn the defensive side so yeah..........., need help :) also, I'm 19 XD

All you need to do is find the internship or a program that has internships. I got one from a program in my community college called Year Up (it was free and they paid me). Best of luck to you!

      Honestly, I’ve been hearing that a lot and am debating even going for it. Would it be a bad idea to just go for a CCNA instead? Or is learning Networking just another thing that’s *supposed* to be a bit boring? I also just don’t want to get a Network+ if people are even gonna pay attention to it on the resume.

    • @DayCyberwox
      @DayCyberwox  3 года назад +2

      It really depends. Learning networking could be boring no doubt but it’s not alll that bad if you’re using the right resources and have the right instructor. Back in freshman year if college I had two networking instructors from 2 different networking classes one made it extremely boring, the other really engaged us so it depends on who’s is teaching sometimes.
      The CCNA is definitely of more value but I personally think the network+ is quite sufficient. But...you can’t go wrong with a CCNA.
