Hi Colin - I really like all of your ideas. Great job! And I agree with your various recommendations on certs and your observations on college degrees. Again, pls keep on posting these informative videos!
Going to piss off some people by saying this but It's true. The best security professionals are those with a computer science background. If you really want to get the best out of journey in cybersecurity, study computer science.
He is wrong about degree does not matter. When I was awarded my cybersecurity degree, thats when my email inbox started to become overloaded with employment opportunities. You also do not need a CS degree or experience as CS degree's are mainly for making programs. One more thing is Linked is a great networking needs as thats where I was contacted by many recruiters and was hired by a company that supports the federal government. Still working and really enjoying my job! Colin, have you worked this field or have you only read magazines? Please give accurate answers to your YourTube audience!!
What’s the best route for a cyber security analyst I’m currently debating on going to school for this or getting my certifications I want to go to school but I feel like it’s a waste and getting certifications like security + seems faster how should I approach this.
Hi Colin , Do you mind checking my info kit to cyber security course Im about to take? Im nervous because in some universities its a 2 yrs course in this university its just 1 yr and 4 months.I would really appreciate your feedback what I lack on the program.
im graduating this may with a bachelor of science Cyber Security. I am pretty nervous about it because I kind of feel lost. I have a job as a Jr.network engineer. I havent had any money to pay for certifications. Iv done all the labs passed all my classes. I just have no idea how I'm going to land a job as a Cyber Security Analyst. Where should I start? I'm literally the first class graduating from this program. Will my experience as a Jr.Network Engineer role + my degree be able to land me a entry level job as a secuirty analyst? I just have no idea where I'm going :/
@@theindecisivegamer5036 so did you have to learn coding after graduation? Thinking about a major change as it doesn’t require a minor which would take forever with a full time job. I have close to no programming knowledge
@@SolomonRasputin I ended up becoming a developer because I ended up loving programming and problem solving. It worked out good for me. If just suggest python though if you want to start

How can I trust u
That’s just because cybersecurity degrees are new. They didn’t had cybersecurity degrees back then.
Great video! I'm actually thinking of switching from C.S to Cyber Security at SNHU

Get a cert and start working
It seems faster and better that way
Is there a chance to get in cybersecurity job with associate degree?
Absolutely, through certification and hands on experience you can build up a very strong resume and land the job!
@Star can be both
What are not much technical courses which doesn't involve Coding ? Can you name a few....
Here's two hundred likes.

Is it worth doing college and then as you are learning etc do the cert for it on your own just to add to your resume?
So should i have degree?
