Lol not sure who you've talked in Cybersecurity but it sounds like they are stuck working for a terrible company. Just like every role in the corporate world, it's going to have it's good and it's bad. One thing I will say, the stress comes from not getting the proper support to do what you were hired to do. In my role, I essentially present the issue and the solution. If management gives me the ok, I proceed, if they don't, I have them document it and move on. That vulnerable web server with a public facing IP address isn't my issue once I've been told not to touch it
you know they’ll flame out in the first few days.

How can I work my way to 6 figures
Here are my goals:
Security +
Network +
CCNA
CISSP
CS degree
Thinking about getting a good understanding, viewing job requirments, and doing labs pretaining to these areas

And be consistent.
People been telling they've been trying break into tech for years, still in the same position they were 5 years ago.
Best pathway CC ---> 4 year state school then
After about a year at a CC, you should have more than enough qualifications to get a fully remote job making 60+k.

why both net+ and ccna?
also you will likely need intermediate certs/training/experience before a cybersecurity management cert like CISSP makes sense
I don't think you need a CS degree for that path. It's very IT/Network centric whereas Computer Science degrees set you up to be a software developer. A Computer Information Systems degree is more that speed, and I think it gets you to the A+, Network+ level.How can I work my way to 6 figures

Thanks
that 4 years will be rough but I'll figure it out. Definetly will get a few certs before going to college in hopes to land a job with a higher salary to afford classes
True guess I can skip net+Just want to get a better understanding of the areas I'm interseted in. I just noticed most authors of some study guides have multiple certs
Thanks
yea I guess I'll drop the cs degress and learn a programming language on my own for a hobby
I want to give you a heads up; this might seem a bit overwhelming initially.Thanks

Begin by honing in on a specific area of interest and avoid attempting to become a master of all trades.
Think about whether you're drawn to Front End development, Backend (
), IT support, Cybersecurity, or another specialization.It appears that you're leaning towards a path in Cybersecurity and IT support, which is completely fine. As Obreh pointed out, a degree in Computer Information Systems (CIS) might be more in line with your interests and pace.
CS has weed out courses like Calculus, Linear Algebreh, and Discrete Math. If your primary focus, as I assume, is to maximize your earnings, CIS is the far easier path, with just as big of bag.
Plus down the line, you always pick up software development languages. But like I said, a lot will be on your plate to initially learn.

. Haven't used any of it.
They were weed out classesI took so many goddamn math classes I should have minored in it
.If I could go through undergrad again, I'd go the CIS route, with CS electives

Are you currently in IT?( If not, focus on getting in first and the 6 figures will come)

My advice...
Network plus and ccna --- pick one
Security plus n cissp --- go for cissp for the associate of isc.
Dump the cs degree ...self learn python n Linux
Continue to build on that by learning a cloud plat like aws n learn a sase plat form like (like Palo)
If u want to be a developer then go the c.s route

Yes entry level, making 50k before taxes. We basically pre configuring devices for our customers, nothing crazy
Nice! There was a breh and brehette on my team that studied kubernetes. Both found employment else where shortly after being hired to my team

I'll definitely give it more thought and sort out a path
Thank you brehs for all of the input, it will not go to waste.
I was unemployed when I first signed up here after losing my 1st IT job and you guys along with a few other things inspired me to get back into it
work has been fukking hell this summer...my micromanaging ass manager has been driving me crazy...i swear if the main project im working on wasnt so high profile i would have looked for a different position around the company
