Bout to use the rest of this week to study up for a potential move and put the cert study on hold 
Y'all keep me in your thoughts.

Some info that might be of benefit to those interested in Security.
Join your local OWASP chapter. Their website is pretty weak, but if you type in OWASP meetup you should find your nearest chapter. OWASP. They hold meetings on the latest issues in Info Sec and it's great networking. They have a mentor program where they pair you with someone in the field (at least the chapter near me does). I will be meeting the person they connected me with soon. Also the meetings offer free food!
Some people had mentioned joining the national guard/air guard in the past to get experience/clearances. Well the Air Guard is offering bonuses again. The offers always seem to come and go, but they're currently offering up to $20k. You don't get the first installment until after year 3 though. If you're looking to get some training and get a clearance it's one option.
A fellow Coli member sent me this career roadmap for InfoSec which I thought was excellent https://www.sans.org/media/security-training/roadmap.pdf. Will help to narrow down what you think you might be interested in.

How much experience do you have? I'm not sure what level you are but the I gigs I get are in the 7+ year/Sr. Engineer/Sr. Architect positions.
Plus I'm not sure you're black so I have no desire/responsibility to help someone who isn't my people.
