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.
Zero fluff and extremely informative. Thank you for this video and I look forward to seeing more.

How hard would it be for someone like me who doesn’t have IT experience to get my foot into the Cybersecurity career. 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? I don’t have any duties except to my dog and working. The rest of my hours I plan on spending learning and doing what I need. Is this feasible?

If you passed the CISSP exam at some point then you clearly had the knowledge to work in the field. Some jobs will require this but some won’t. You might look for something that doesn’t and build up your experience base again and get up to date on the latest trends. The good news is that there are many different paths you could take. I only really know the one I took and that will definitely not be typical for the vast majority
2 years in trying to break into cybersecurity, and all I can say is that free or low-budget options don't get you anywhere near worth considering for entry level jobs (sadly) - I find the entry level certs and self-learners are frowned upon here in the UK.

i wish to have a career in Cyber Security, where can i have certification or the education
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.

With the CISSP employers will accept an Associate, in lieu of having 5 years of experience, and just let you work the 4 to 5 years there for the full certification.

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.
