This was excellent and truthful. I only have a Bachelors in Engineering Technology and two certs (A+, and Security+) and I am the head Information Security Officer at a local university. What was the key? Not my degree, not even my certifications, but my IT experience. The 4-year degree and IT certs were just 'icing on the cake'. Business want to know this one thing: 'Can you do the job?' Great video. I'm going to use this to enlighten others.
@@barshalom4249 I am about halfway through Security+ at my local college. We are through 14 chapters. There are a TON of acronyms and definitions and that doesn't account for the fifteen remaining chapters in our textbook. With that said, any advice on when sitting for the cert exam? At $339 a pop, I am not trying to fail a bunch of times lol
Mr. Dion, Your courses help me pass my Network+ cert. On 1/10/20, I'll best testing on Security+ and before April, I'm try CYSA+. I tell you this because I love your courses & honesty. NEVER STOP HELPING US. We adore your teaching skills. Thank you for everything!!!!
I got my first IT job by simply asking my A+ course instructor if he knew anyone hiring. He hooked me up with a job at his office. Those entry level help desk jobs under pay and drain your soul, but they are a foot in the door and let you start networking with other IT professionals
This video was incredibly insightful. I busted my butt for 6 months to get my A+, Net+, and Sec+ (without experience) only to finally get hired in IT and feel like I basically knew nothing. How was that possible? I passed my tests with flying colors. BUT, like you say Jason, that only shows you know how to pass a test. Thank you for the courses you do and thank you for the knowledge from this video.
Jason, great video and should be helpful to many. I am in the group that decided... I did not want to take all the extra classes to reach my real interest of Computer Science. So back in 1989 I dropped the credit classes and registered for non credit programming and never looked back. Sporadically when I felt I wanted to strengthen an core topic (i.e. Algebra, Technical Writing, etc) I would take a credit class or two because I decided to take them. I have to say I have been fortunate to have held great positions in IT, Telecom, Network Architecture and IS management positions and others including an Internet Startup and a small software Development consulting firm. But I do love and have passion for what I do, also respect others who choose the traditional higher education college route. Only in the last 15 months have I felt a significant college degree stigma, but by then I had already made the decision to start testing for certifications. Not that I needed them, but felt was the right shield in other to overcome the college degree road block. It has worked well. Certifications can have a unique value, only if one of two circumstances are true... - You have experience in the field you are certifying for - You have taken the subjects of study very seriously, meaning that you did not only study to pass the test. But you also understand how to apply the matter of study, as an expert. I hope this helps others. Never give up! Simply never stop learning! Learning is what pays, not the paper!
Both routes are viable. Is good to stress that there is no need to be discouraged. The employer's mission is to fill a gap, if an individual has the expertise... experience is an option by all means! Thank you Jason for your input.
If you think this system is bad , its worse for lawyers and doctors. If you want to be a doctor in the US First you get into a 4 year college and get any degree with any major although biology or anatomy and physiology are preferred Second you get into medical school 4 more years of schooling and clinicals the last 2 years Third 3-5 years of residency where you specialize aka postgrad 4th Licensing / board certification , you take your states medical certification test , Yes after all this work you have can only practice medicine in the state exam you pass. So if your a doctor and you want to move to another state be prepared to study and get re certified in another state
so companies rather hire nobody than someone who is less qualified than their expectations?? Look at the cybersecurity job shortage. i'd rather have some security than none lol there you go hackers
I've been studying for the Network+ but I want to get into cybersecurity. I have 4 years of helpdesk and light desktop support 13 years ago and want back in the industry, but not at a helpdesk. Should I stop studying Network+ and start on that CompTia Cysa+ or finish with the Network+ first?
Just found this. Great vid bro. Self taught hacker and prior military here. Massive experience in tech. HR sucks ass these days. no degree no certs outside of what I got while in and some company specific training. Working on the hustle myself these days. I've got nothing against certs or degrees just hate that its barrier for entry from a pencil pusher. Is what it is though. Awesome job on all your credentials though. Certs + xp+ degree(s)==tirfecta.
Hi Lloyd, I'm planning on going the same way too but I have no clue where to start, I was thinking of a diploma/ 2 year degree because I can't do the 4 year one, and then someone said Comptia + certs are what's important and even more important than degrees. so I was thinking of skipping the degree and just studying for a few certs but then I came across this video. I have no problem with self studying at all, but I have no idea where to start or what to do! I just need a roadmap or some steps to follow (what languages to study, where to begin, how to learn best..etc) I actually thought of the certs/degrees in the first place because I thought these would give me a roadmap, and then I saw they had "psychology" classes and stuff...uhh what? I graduated from non-tech college and work in a non-tech field so it's a big shift and my current exp won't count in an IT resume
@@thaksanaketheswaran5082 honestly, I learned by doing. Broke a lot of things in the beginning. These days there are so many free resources and you can set up a "virtual lab" in under an hour to tinker with. If I had it to do over that's where I'd start. Make a lab, break it, and fix it. Experience is the best teacher and this way you have far less chance of permabricking your tech 😂
is there any possible ways to get into a cyber security jobs . without getting any degrees and certificates but have more knowladge skills and experiences.
Very helpful. I have notifed in the application of a cyber security job the entry level job disctrption ask for 1 to 2 years of experience. They are asking for a lot.
Xavier Soule 1-2 years of experience for cyber security is not a lot. If you have no experience at all you should get some before applying to cyber security positions
Agreed, this is why technical degrees shouldn't necessarily be tied to college degrees and go back to a more "technical" path like a plumber or electician does in trade school.
Jason, thank you for the great video. You nailed it! All over the internet we read about huge shortage of cybersec personal. Sign me up! . However it is very hard to find a job unless you are already in the field with years of experience and many certs. Yes, HR is poorly trained. Even Hiring Management is a hit or miss. I ve been interviewed for a Network Tech position years ago. During interview I showed to hiring manager my CompTIA Network+ cert. She had no clue such cert existed. Funny. Long story short it does not important how good you are but who you know! Be in the right place in the right time. I have BS in Computer Information Systems, CompTIA Network+ and Security+, Desktop Support experience for many years and can not find even entry level job in IT Security. I need CISSP no doubt.
I'm a graduate from a non-tech college and currently working in a non-tech field. I have no clue where to start, I was thinking of a diploma/ 2 year degree because I can't do the 4 year one, and then someone said certs are what's important and even more important than degrees. so I was thinking of skipping the degree and just studying for a few certs and throw a 100 resumes around until someone calls back.

@@YoungDen Thank you! I can't believe this was only 3 days ago, because I did find a roadmap finally! I was just about to start with A+ then move on to Network+ and security+ but people said the new version of these certs is coming out and I should wait. will the Network+ change in July as well?
@@thered1493 what are you doing now? If not IT which I think you'd love and enjoy? I got my CCNA this October on the 31st and planning to get my A plus before this year end, planing to get my cyber CompTIA plus before June next year. So what did you do this year The best nothing letting fear define who you not?
It seems like all the certs are networking based and higher level certs are based on management. I am building Web Applications(Mainly Backend) with NodeJS and Python Django. I have built internal tools for companies and large scale applications. I am also managing cloud services like AWS and Azure.From scaling to making VPCs. But i like auditing vulnerabilities in the infrastructure(Software Level). I have no experience in Networking and configuring routers. Are there positions in InfoSec where they require software development skills for building tools or finding vulnerabilities? Bug Bounty is not a sustainable source of income and doesn't excite me all the time
Just FYI - think of this....if you apply to a job that a person with a degree/cert applies to, who do you REALLY think is going to get the job....I rest my case :)
I really wish that was the case. If it was, with my degree and Sec+ Cert, I would be in the IT sector, but I am not, still on the outside looking in, currently working tech support for an application with a major insurance company. Before that, it was working tech support for a major telecommunications company, tinkering and configuring with modems/router combination equipment, and then later, router only equipment. However, I am not deterred, I will keep chipping away, working on some of the concepts and tools these employers want, so I can get in. The problem is not only with the HR folks, but education as well, as Jason mentions. They only teach foundations, not what employers are looking for, and that is a huge problem.
This is a great video. I'm almost done with an online BA program in cyber security and information systems. I've been recently wondering how am I going to get a drop with no experience. is it worth obtaining an online degree in information systems/cyber security? I'm assuming that I will probably have to start off in a help desk position.
JEROME JOHNSON Chances are you are going to have to start at help desk or if you get lucky a systems administrator. Security is all about experience. Most of those guys have 10+ years.
Hi. I'm looking for an online cyber security associates degree. I'm active duty military. It is a requirement to become an officer. What colleges do you recommend?. Thank you.
All of the job listings I see require a degree in IT plus certs and prefer even higher level of education such as a Master's degree. I see all these videos about getting IT jobs without degrees or even without certifications but what the hell are they talking about? Maybe 15-20 years ago this was possible but I doubt it these days. Every job listing states it requires substantial experience directly related to the job and/or certifications and degrees.
Maybe on the commercial side. Most DoD jobs in the IT field want certs and experience. One of the few fields you can get a 70k+ Job with experience and a few certs lol
I have a BS in Computer Information Systems and a MBA degree . I want to get into cyber security , should I get a Masters in Cyber Security or focus on getting certifications being that I already have 2 degrees? Thank you in advance

Jason, contact me. My dear friend who I have known since childhood married her navy husband. He has his PHd and is a retired cryptologist from the Navy and a collage instructor near Seattle. He might provide input.
yeah you know general education, which benefit humans and help them be well-rounded human beings, just concentrating on only the technical produces robotic slaves.
Who decides what's taught in the general education curriculum. We all know for years so called liberal education or general education made people very eurocentric and allowed them to look down on the rest of the world. Plus if general education is for everybody then it has no place in Uni unless you think everyone should go to Uni. General education or humanist education should be left to compulsory education(k-12). As for college people should get their moneys worth. Those who are there for interest can do what they like those who are there for career progress should get very technical work cause they are paying for that.
@@reagancapwell685 Are you kidding me. Foundational science, humanities, liberal arts, are what help make a well rounded individual. If you are studying to be a scientist, you need to understand the humanities and liberal arts in order to be see a bigger picture, the same is true for a person studying liberal arts. This helps construct people who don't live in a bubble and see the interconnectedness of everything. I agree this needs to be true in secondary education, and I am lucky it was for me, but for anyone pursues higher education this needs to be true as well. Go back and read that which you wrote and you should see YOU are the one looking down on others and being smug, prejudiced against those with a broader perspective. Thank you for making my point, but I really don't need your support. It is a shame people are seeing robust, well rounded education in such a way as you.
@@atdepth i completely agree. If all you care about is getting a job asap and spending as little as possible, a couple certs are probably better, but personally I value my degree a lot. I think it made me a better person.
I don't see anywhere a sign that says "not women allowed". Maybe the fact there are so few women in STEM and IT is because, wait for this novel concept, they are not interested in the subject? You dont get an interview without experience, you dont get experience as an outsider noob without a college degree. Good luck trying to find a job in the field with only a couple of certifications. I am A+, N+ and MCP certified and was never able to find a job even as a helpdesk supporter. IT is a horseshit field.
Tech companies should have their own certification for HR people.
www.hrci.org/our-programs/our-certifications they have one, but i don't think is a requirement.
So regular tech certifications?

Plus if general education is for everybody then it has no place in Uni unless you think everyone should go to Uni. General education or humanist education should be left to compulsory education(k-12). As for college people should get their moneys worth. Those who are there for interest can do what they like those who are there for career progress should get very technical work cause they are paying for that.
@@reagancapwell685 Are you kidding me. Foundational science, humanities, liberal arts, are what help make a well rounded individual. If you are studying to be a scientist, you need to understand the humanities and liberal arts in order to be see a bigger picture, the same is true for a person studying liberal arts. This helps construct people who don't live in a bubble and see the interconnectedness of everything. I agree this needs to be true in secondary education, and I am lucky it was for me, but for anyone pursues higher education this needs to be true as well. Go back and read that which you wrote and you should see YOU are the one looking down on others and being smug, prejudiced against those with a broader perspective. Thank you for making my point, but I really don't need your support. It is a shame people are seeing robust, well rounded education in such a way as you.
@@atdepth i completely agree. If all you care about is getting a job asap and spending as little as possible, a couple certs are probably better, but personally I value my degree a lot. I think it made me a better person.
Use me as a like button if u r here after getting exhausted from those stupid degree courses
I don't see anywhere a sign that says "not women allowed". Maybe the fact there are so few women in STEM and IT is because, wait for this novel concept, they are not interested in the subject?
You dont get an interview without experience, you dont get experience as an outsider noob without a college degree.
Good luck trying to find a job in the field with only a couple of certifications. I am A+, N+ and MCP certified and was never able to find a job even as a helpdesk supporter. IT is a horseshit field.
i can tell its your attitude that is costing you
@@Tee-e4i So true. lmao
