Thanks so much for this roadmap. Im in phase 0/1, coming from a fast food/customer service background. I really appreciate being given direction!
Well well, Cloud architect here, and let me tell you that i officially am starting the journey, end goal is CLEAR: get that OSCP, imma let you know the progress bois, Chuck thanks for all the info you are sharing this is gold value (y)
I worked as a meat market manager for 13 years before my cousin sent me your IT career roadmap YEARS ago. He knew I was unhappy and what I had a passion for in my free time. I got my first job for a school district in central Texas with no cert as a computer tech 1. Incredible jump off point. Got my A+ while working. Moved up to an IT Coordinator, got my Net+, Sec+, and CCNA. Sky's the limit if you learn to love learning, guys. I changed my life at 31 and it was uncomfortable, but worth every second.
It's 1st january 2026 ...and I'm starting from today... Just a random decision but gonna do it seriously ❤
I just wanted to say thank you for this video. Every time I feel lost or distracted in my cybersecurity journey, I come back to this, and it gets me right back on track. Truly inspiring
Just got my CompTIA A+ on Christmas Eve now hoping to have some luck with job hunting
Thank you for this video. I always felt like I needed to know everything
I started studying cybersecurity today and your content is helping me a lot. Thank you for sharing!
This video goes straight to my favorites!
Got my Networking degree back in 2014 and it never got any use. Ended up in a service desk role back then too, but moved into software. At 36 years old, I now fancy a career change from CSE/TPM (Software SaSS) to Security (Red Team) stuff. This video was extreamly helpful, thanks for putting it together. You've highlighted the importance that most of these certifications can bring, especially to show competency in a given topic.
I'm 16, and i am a student at a school and i know some of programming languages, and i am really passionate about cyber security, and i wanna start learning it today. Wish me luck!
I’m 35 yo and I just started my journey into Cybersecurity. I hope it’s not too late for me. I have a whole path and plan made. Wish me luck!
Great Roadmap to IT and I'm currently on Phase 1 which I started to apply jobs today and starting to network wish me luck in the journey.
Can confirm phase 0. I went from custom blacksmithing and metal work(with some gaming, LAN, and computer basic skills) straight into a field tech job for a major city school system. In under a year I'm now a lead. Y'all can do this, as long as you stay curious and hungry!
I accepted an offer for OT Cybersecurity Intern just months after watching this video. I am new to Cybersecurity and have a lot to learn, but your videos make it so easy to grasp! Thank you Chuck!
Chuck, I never finished college and spent years doubting myself. As I got closer to my forties, I honestly thought it was too late to start a career in IT. Then I watched your Road to Cybersecurity video and figured I had nothing to lose by trying. To my surprise, even without experience, just with the knowledge I had, people started reaching out and calling me for interviews. A couple of months later, I was working in IT. After watching your video, I finally felt like I could give myself one more chance and now I work in IT while I'm preparing myself on suggestions I get from your video and people at work
bro every one of these courses are so freaking expensive.......
I worked at AT &T as remote technical support specialist. Now trying to get a job in cyber security field. I am 32
so this Video is about 5 months old and I am here to tell you guys ... I applied for jobs and got one starting next week at a big IT company. over the 5 Months I started small projects on my own and tried to figure it out by myself. Also I started a course for Cyber Security 101 and it's Fun. So if you see or saw this video, just try it ! let the Journey begin ;)
Am 40years now and feel discouraged. After listening to you am fired up. Thank you so much 💓
