    Hey I’ve got some really great news to share with you, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died on a cross and resurrected on the third day so you may all have eternal life. If you believe and repent of your sins and put your faith and trust in Him as you would a parachute jumping off a plane at 25000 feet up in the air, He will give you eternal life in heaven as a free gift and I promise you, He will change your life forever as He did mine. He is the ONLY way to heaven and He loves you all. Please think deeply about this with urgency because this is your eternal life and soul, you don’t know when you could die, meaning you could die at any moment, so please consider this with all your heart. If anyone tells you that Jesus isn’t the only way, they are lying to you and they don’t care about your future.

Recently caught my wife cheating so I divorced her and now I’m fired up for a new career, could I finish a boot camp or cert and get working within 6 months?

    What would one be doing whilst getting the credentials? As in for experience, would we need to find some job in the field that is related to cyber security and once we have at least security + then we can start looking at the entry jobs on cyberseek?

    These could be done simultaneously. Get an entry level job that doesn’t require credentials and then gain experience while learning and pursuing certifications

    I have some questions if anyone cares to answer. I used to work as a Web Scraper (10 months), learned a little bit of programming, mainly JavaScript, then started learning some QA, and now I recently started a course on Udemy called "The Complete Certified in Cybersecurity (CC) course ISC2 '23". I have very little experience working and from reading requirements on job posts, I'm kinda losing hope a little bit in this Cybersecurity stuff cause it seems that people really need to know a lot of things in order to land a job in this field, like they sort of need to be a jack of all trades. I wonder if it's worth it to spend time learning about this or if I should just focus on QA as it it way more straightforward. Like my main concern is that this single course won't be able to compress all the knowledge I need in order to land an entry level job in Cybersecurity, whereas QA doesn't really force you to study other things, except for maybe a programming language at a basic level if you're going for Automation, which is again, pretty straightforward as they'll just specify what language and what program they will be using at the job.

    At this point, the number of unfilled cybersecurity jobs is so great that we don’t need to even begin worrying about AI replacing them all. Secondly, unless and until AI gets vastly better than it seems it will be in the foreseeable future, we are still going to need humans making the tough decisions, weighing pros and cons of responses, building secure architectures, etc.
