My mom just retired a few weeks ago from the IRS. She started her job at 18. I can truly confirm everything in this video even when it comes to job security, benefits, retirement plan, and more. I had a contract job years ago but fumbled it. I’m working hard to get a position now but it’s difficult.
You have to find low profile gov job. Otherwise, you'll get dragged into the politics and get frustrated and eventually get fired without eligible for retirement. For example, admin jobs and IT are horrible positions of torture. Most coworkers will sacrifice you first before standing by you. 😅

GOVtech is the way to go and everything she's saying is right. I will say this though if you want to be in GovTech and make it easier on yourself I'll say join the military. The military is so easy and all of these tech jobs that you could do in the civilian world you could do in the military get the experience and be chosen before non-military individuals when it comes to getting government jobs. Also join the military you automatically get a secret clearance and depending on your job you can put in to get a top-secret clearance which will help you significantly when you get out. I am a 46v, my job is not tech related at all but the military can send me to a week or two long class just to get whatever cert I want and it's paid for by the Army.
LIVING IN THE DMV BOTH MY PARENTS RETIRED FROM FEDERAL GOVT AND HAD GOOD BENEFITS , GOD RETIREMENT AND JOB STABILITY. COUSINS RETIRED FROM FED GOVT ALSO AND DOING WELL.

Nah, yall trippin. She's exactly right. I have a CompTIA Sec+ cert, put my resume on Clearance jobs and started getting calls in 12 minutes literally.

Contracting is not stable at all. Im a 20 year civil servant and contractors lose contracts all the time. Sometimes contracts have an expiration and postions are term anyways. Get a USAjobs account set-up and look for GS positions those are the mose insulated positions within the federal system.

Here are some hot questions. How many years ago did you obtain your job? How long did it take you to reach these certification? I don’t think people realize the red flags on their own… The exam cost $246 That’s alone a lot of money and it’s for exam not to get a guarantee certification.
the government doesn't print money, the Federal Reserve prints money (Though they have the title "Federal" in their name, they are a private company, that's not run by the government). In addition, the U.S. department of Treasury creates Bonds (which is debt), and those bonds are deposited into "cash", yes the cash that is printed by the federal reserve.
What she won’t tell you is that many of these government jobs are actually subcontracted positions, which means they’re not directly with the government and are therefore as stable as any other job.
@@symonebeez Clearance does not guarantee stability in employment. It's not uncommon for individuals to be let go within the 90 day probation period of starting a new position. While having a clearance can enhance your future applications and set you apart from other candidates, it does not ensure long-term job security unfortunately.
Great video and advice. your talk definitely re-ignited the fire in me not to give up. I only have an AS degree in cybersecurity, will it be enough to get a cyber job after I pass the Sec+ exam? new sub.

Hey Beez! I’ve been looking for a career change and this is so inspiring. I’m a nurse of 14+ years and military vet. Do I automatically still have my clearance?
I've worked for the state and fed. Not all it's cracked up to be. Money and benefits are good but you will have to work your life away to reap them. Most of your coworkers might be unhappy. Most workplaces are toxic unless you work from home. For me this was not a good fit. Don't sell yourself short. This is a good job if you have no further education but believe me when I say there are better jobs out there so don't get stuck. You will never reach wealth working for your state or fed government.
@@browneyedblkstar bro, you can apply for any job that is within your expertise as long as you draft up your résumé to the job description and know what you're talking about in your resume with confidence and you will be good. I'm in the army and I work in an organisation that is predominantly government civilians and contractors. These people are regular and some of them are straight up dumb. You just have to have confidence I promise you. You did all that training and studying to retain that information for a reason and now it's time for you to exercise that reason. I have people in my organisation that got into the government with just a SEC+ without even having prior military experience. Yes, they are doing helpdesk stuff but they are getting paid very well as well as having job security because you can't just up and get fired like you can working at a private company.
Federal Contractors are NOT Government employees. It is not the same thing. Contractors work for private industry companies who bid on contracts with the govt. They can lay you off at anytime (with little to no notice) and can also lose contracts or not win re-competition. Federal Civilian employees have the stability. I have been on both sides of the coin and the Federal Civilian Employee side wins hands down.
Same been on both sides my first contracting job we lost the contract and it was a short notification time and second contract we knew 6 months ahead of time and they layed people off little by little in phases. Now I'm a government civilian for last 6 years and plan to retire with the government in 25 years prayerfully!
Do you have a online tribe where you can meet people in your field? I want a medical tech job but with a tribe that is not trying to belittle or emotinally manipulate me.

Hi I'm from philippines just recently finished the google cybersecurity professional cert. Can i able to land a job in us gov tech? What are the requirements to get a job in the us gov tech?
wait a minute, you’re that same guy with the “I quit my high paying tech job” that shows up in the top search results. Why should I listen to this then?
Because she had personal things going on and did for her mental health. She could not just take a break from work because of her personal life. Thats is why she quit if you listened to the video . She did not quit her high paying job because of the job.
Federal jobs are for citizens. You must be a US citizen. The government will only consider hiring non citizens if there are no qualified citizens available for the job.
IT is a very risky path because of the nature of the industry so keep on training for more certs. Make sure you have backups because most bosses will throw you under the bus or sacrificial lamb 😅
Degrees are important. Stop advertising a stupid certification over a degree. 2210 will eventually change its requirements for people to have a degree just as 1550 does. It is not EASY. I advise everyone to get a degree first. You will be better off in the long run.
Certifications can’t be that stupid when DoD 8570 and 8140 exists. I’m just sharing how I got into the industry and how people can do the same. 1550 is computer science 2210 is IT. No degree has ever been required for 2210. Get in then let your employer pay for the degree.
Many people with degrees don't even use their degree in the field they are in. I'm one of them. Certifications and technical schools are great, so don't down those avenues. Everyone does not want to go to college.
