Being in a Cyber Analyst where nothing happens while you get paid gives you the opportunity to find a remote job as a Cyber Analyst again where things happen which will get you paid twice the amount and your skills don't deteriorate, but grow instead.

Even though I have been "following" the cyber security scene for a handful of years, I always found myself being a bystander watching curiously on the sidelines. I was perfectly happy with this, as I've gotten the opportunity to work professionally in web development, as well as quite a bit of hobbyist game development. I have, however, very recently maybe gotten the chance to dive deep into what I believe is best described as a boot camp for cyber security analysis, and with this I have gotten exponentially more excited about the field as I've started to shift my brain from thinking that this is a field I am following out of curiousity, to a field that I could actually potentially join. I just wanted to thank you for this great overview. This is the first video of yours I've seen, and I've already found myself subscribed, liking the video, et cetera. If all goes well for me I will join you, and a lot of the fellow commenters here in pursuing this as a career. I got the 'boot camp job interview' in just under two weeks, so we'll see how it goes. Great video!

You are the absolutely best teacher when it comes to explaining roles and information about cybersecurity.

Amazing video. I’m actually coming from a career in railway infrastructure which has absolutely nothing to do with CS. However, I’m transitioning into this field and I’m super keen to learn so I’m looking at the Google CS and project management certifications along with Qualys certifications and practice labs. I use to be a project manager and aim to amalgamate my PM know along with my CS certs once I acquire them. This video has helped me put things into perspective and I plan to have a long and illustrious career over the coming years 😊👍🏾 Thanks again, appreciate it.

I don't know if words are enough to express my gratitude to you. You saved me from this suffering of choosing a major. I am an immigrant in the US and pretty much new to their education system. I'm 21 years old, and I'm in community college. I keep looking for a good major to build a good future for myself and my family. And I have been through so many decisions about my major that I am so tired. My dad is an aircraft engineer, so initially, I wanted to be a Pilot, but due to some obstacles, I couldn't. After losing my dream of being a pilot, I was utterly lost. I was jumping from one major to another. Then, my dad told me about cybersecurity. At first, I didn't give it that much thought because everyone was advising me that it is too easy, you're choosing the easy way, it is not an actual major, and so on. Needless to say, I am really interested in solving things, but I didn't know what major to choose. Then your video showed up and saved me. I had little information about cybersecurity, but now I know more to decide on a major. Thank you so much. I really appreciate your channel. ❤ Also, I have a question: I am interested in ethical hacking and cyber analysis; is it possible to major in both? Or do I have to choose between these, too

Unix guy content is a video i never miss. what you sir had handled in this video is what top people in IT i met always revolve around, but you presented all topics and ideas effectively. I am doing systems presales in UAE - for the market (coming from a programming background) and i took up cybersecurity from your motivational and informative videos. it is really true that titles and descriptions themselves overlap in the cybersec field or any field really. The conclusion i have reached from your videos is to be knowledgeable on one field as a talent that could be later incorporated in your portfolio (i.e. pentest) and to earn the skills and practicalities that let you have a start in the market (i.e. Cybersec analyst). I cannot be ever enough grateful for your shared knowledge, unixguy.
