If theres anything you should take away from this video its this: Never lose hope in yourself. Drive hard, drive fast.
Also to stay on the right side of Karma 😉
great stuff man. Similar Journey but dipped over to Cyber Security from IT. 2023 ZL1 now. Had a 2007 Cobalt SS Supercharged way back when was doing internships and heldesk at the time! Couple Subarus as well 2010 wrx and 15 wrx sti launch edition.
Cool. I’m now motivated to call the pornstar actor line…
Best advice I heard in a long time ✊
Big sis comment coming in- Couldn’t be more proud of all you’ve accomplished. And now to see you share your story in front of all these people shows just how far you’ve come. I will forever be cheering you on, and based on all these comments, it seems I’m not the only one.
You are my favorite person ever❤️❤️
Great story sir and I enjoyed the driving too 👍
I literally had a 1993 Ranger XLT in grey almost exactly like yours! Also progressing into my own IT career 2 years in. Found it very late (38 now) but it's definitely my path.
All great men drove a ford ranger at one time bro. I wouldn't say 38 is very late. I didn't get serious until 30. A lot of people career change at 30, 50 etc. your golden man. Lots of luck in your career growth
@@Hot-1LE Thank you! If you need an apprentice, I'm in OC. I have already been fortunate enough to score a remote Sys Admin job for a startup + I have a full time help desk job at the moment. Can you share what the entry salary is for a CISP type level? Thanks man!!
love it when i see car youtubers that live in my hometown
You are an inspiration and I felt everything you said!! Thanks for the motivation to do more and I’m glad you are reaching the top
Thats a huge compliment and is so much appreciated. Ty for watching.
Sorry you lost your Dad dude... My dad is 82 and the thought of losing him is ever-present in my mind.
Man i really appreciate the kind words. We are definitely lucky to have them!
Glad to see another IT car guy! I don’t think there’s enough of us out there! Lol keep pushing forward and gaining more knowledge. In our field learning never stops
So very true bro. Currently doing the CISSP but man is it boring 🤣 part of me just wants to do CCIE but idk. Your totally right and I needed to hear it. Thanks for the input bro!
@@Hot-1LE I’m studying for AWS cert now and it’s boring as can be lol need to get motivation to study more. CISSP is next!
Thanks! Please more videos like this
Bro thank you soooo much!! Thats huge im so appreciative. Thank you and the positive words mean a lot🤘
great story, always nice to listen to glow ups!
Very much appreciated man!
Bro is a legend.
Awesome to hear your story man! Im an engineer for GM and i also got a camaro, LT1 V8! Keep up the fire vids!
Huge compliment thank you man! Lt1 is a beast congrats on your car very cool to have a GM engineer watching my video!
some great real talk right here. also, i like how you were checking the rearview for cops when you hit the onramp lol - we all do it, not gonna lie
😅😅 ya gotta make sure hahaha
Great video! It was nice to hear your story! I was like you and go kicked out at 18/19 and had to build everything up from the bottom! we both in the same career space too! Congrats on the Z! Can’t wait till we meet up soon
Oh snap you were out at 18/19 mannnn no wonder we got this mutual brother hood. I really appreciate your words and watching my vid bro means a lot to me that you do! That canyon run is well needed
Hell ya solid vid man, and hey thats me in front of you in those canyon clips 😂
Hell ya canyon crew! 🤘
Thank you so much for posting this video, I love looking all these car videos but am in no way in place where I can afford this any of them. I have been looking at a similar career for a long time, but my fear of failing has held me back. This exactly what I needed, Im going to go for it starting now!
Excellent! Go for it. You already failed if you never started and wanted to. You got this its not too bad. Best of luck!
Cool story.
🙏🙏
Well done! Excellent life narrative & congratulations on your success 🙌 👏 .
Enjoy your channel & keeping it REAL! All the best!!!!😊
Thank you so much for the positive comments man it means sooo much to me!
It’s inspiring when you hear about other people’s stories where they came from and how far they’ve come. I appreciate you sharing this and good on you for not giving up early and pushing through that tough time. 🙏
Thank you so much for the positive words! Def people out there with much more of a battle so thankful for what Ive got. Ty for watching ✌️
Loved this one! Thanks for sharing your story, I know other connect with it and can learn from it as well. I admire your determination to continue to get better!
Thank you so much for the positive words!
Super cool man! Now that I have my 2SS 1Le, I may want to switch to the ZL1 but time is running out on the Camaro. Its sad Chevy is discontinuing this awesome car.
Dude it really is. I really wish there was a respectable 7th gen with a v8 but it is what it is we gotta enjoy what we got. 2ss 1le is one hell of a car!
I’m 19 and I also work at security I can confirm the pay sucks in ca 😂, inspiring tho man I hope to make it in the real estate industry and get my ZL1 one day. Just got my license this year
Haha do they still do the "guard card" thing? Congrats on your license man steps in the right direction!
Great vid. Kept it real and honest
This was an awesome video! I had a very similar experience, I was always into computers and got into IT right out of highschool. Started out as a IT support technician, got my A+ cert a little after and stuck with being a technician for several years. Now I'm a DevOps engineer for a company that I previously was a PC support technician for. My word of advice is always seek new opportunities to further improve yourself, and dont give up.
Thats great advice! Staying stagnant isn't the best thing in IT. Great work man. Crazy how that little A+ jumpstarted so many careers.
Nice video on your goals! I didn't have the greatest upbringing either and had to make my own way with some help from friends, too. I feel like i finally just made it too because I just snagged a '23 SS 3 days ago and I've always wanted a camaro since I was 3. Ill probably hit you up down the road on the IT stuff cause I did computer repair and stuff from 9 to 18 years old.
Congrats man on your 23 SS! Keep up man goals are formed differently for everyone your obv killin it!
This video randomly popped up in my feed. Inspirational stuff. I'm 30yrs old, currently working two full-time jobs (entry level project magement by day & management at a high end hotel by night) just earning $100k a year before tax. I can't sustain that for too long, and will need to go back to school.
I'll need direction based on the skillset i have already accumulated.
Totally understandable and i really respect you putting in those kind of hours, thats not easy. Def try to find out what you can add to your resume thats valuable in your field then get it and find a higher paying job. Your still young man you got this!
@@Hot-1LE This is very uplifting, thank you very much sir.
And nice ZL1. I was just looking at used ones and other cars online which is probably why you popped up. They look sinister
Cool! So true!
Loved this video. I am also someone who was interested in computers in high school and decided to make a career out of it. Got an associates at a community college for computer systems engineering technology, got a basic help desk job and got laid off after only a year for no reason. Got an A+ after that and I had 3 pretty bad Tech Support and Tech Specialist jobs after that, and managed to break out into Systems Administration just last year. It was a grind but like you said when you get past the bs its very rewarding. Its funny that you became a network engineer and are shifting to cysec, one of my friends from college did the opposite, went into cysec, got his CASP+ then got bored and became a network architect lol. I just picked up a 2022 1SS 1LE 6 speed, amazing car.
Haha yeah i seen net guys go to cyber and visa versa. I think we all get bored or over the position after a while. My interest has always been sec, net was just a way to be more knowledgeable for that field. Congrats on your car!
@@Hot-1LE Strong networking skills definitely make a better cysec person overall. You have a much better understanding of what's going on with a network and the endpoints on it, especially if you're looking at SOC/NOC type data in a SIEM. I'm sure you'll kill it!
Hot 1LE with the gems. This was great for those needing guidance. It’s even great for a seasoned senior like myself. Before I got into engineering I started off in a computer lab at my school. Graduated in 2008🚮. I had to take a help desk job for hospitals and colleges. I hated it (loved the people though). I did learn a valuable skill on how to communicate. I would avoid talking at all costs back then. This role got me out of my shell and is a much needed life skill. I did that for a couple years and finally got into engineering. I job hopped to get the pay I deserved
Thats awesome bro good work! Haha help desk def gets people out of their shell and the people skills that come with it last forever. I had that same view. Sports cars arent for the normal but those that grind great work man.
Yessir
Que in the front of the line! Im honored 🤘
I knew I would find you here lol you getting that Camaro itch again! 😆😆😆
@racecarfriends 😂
@@Hot-1LE 😆😆😆
Great video man! Very interesting and inspiring! Keep up the good content!
Man thank you so much for the support it means a lot! ✌️
I’ll get into this field then say less. I’m at Costco right now and I love it here but I need more money
Bro i talk with you. Your a smart guy you can do whatever you want but yes stay happy first of all. Appreciate you stoping by 🤜🤛
It's healthy having introspection and recognize the journey. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much man for the good words 🙏
Big money comes from job changes. You need to move forward to make more money in most cases. Dont be afraid to venture out.
This is exactly true!
So, the person at the fast food place didn't charge you for the food but you went back and paid even though you didn't have to..... That's called having integrity. There's nothing wrong with that.
I really appreciate this man!
happy for you man. I too am a Sr (hardware) Engineer. never knew in my 20s when everyone else was succeeding around me that I'd be where I'm at in my 30s. Keeping your eyes open for good mentors/teachers, not wasting opportunities and growing out of stupidity (also almost lost my license Lol) got me way further than I ever expected.
In the corporate world, the only advice that has worked for me is playing their game. Understand what's important to your manager/lead and keep them happy (if it's too soul sucking to do this, find another manager/company) - butting heads has only led to lies to my skip level and a PIP that took WAY too long for me to dig myself out of. Corp politics can be a nasty business if on the wrong side of things.
Awesome advice here man!
Congratulations on your journey to excellence my brother 👏
I appreciate that bro!!
I actually am doing IT at a behavioral health center, I wish I would have gotten at least my compTIA A+ when it was free before getting my associates in computer support, then I go and get my bachelors in technology management and I'm just like all I did was rack up debt, that point is put into perspective after watching this video and after getting those degrees. Right now I only have about 9 months of IT experience and I'm not even getting paid what those degrees are saying I should be getting paid according to the median average without experience. I feel like an idiot now and im 38, I should have done what you did initially, but if I think about it I kinda did but backwards lmao!
Haha yeah man thats actually why i did it the way I did. IT is a very experience driven field so the more experience you have the better your pay the certs/degrees just get you in the door at different levels. Thats ok man keep getting experience and add a cert or two depending where you want to go and youll already have the degree. It will pay off! Your doing great bro. You can always look for a new job and increase your salary. "Job hoping" is common in It for that reason just dont do it too excessively. Appreciate you watching bro!
@@Hot-1LE Will do, thanks for the encouragement and wise words, it means alot, love the ZL1 btw, I own a "shock" 2021 LT1 and its an amazing car, wish unfortunate times didn't occur when I had my silver 2019 camaro 2SS and I had to sell it for a damn V6 challenger lol, I loved that 2SS to pieces man! Have a great one man, and keep the content comin :)
I’ve taken a full stack web development bootcamp and received a certificate. I’ve been applying to tons of jobs and I’m not hearing anything back. I created my own portfolio and countless projects from scratch. Looking to become employed so I can purchase high end gasoline powered vehicles.
Its tough breaking into IT or into a new segment of IT. Just keep trying and reevaluating and learning and you'll get a break somewhere.
Great story and the path you took to get to where you’re at. Chapters in life close so others can open and lead to bigger and better things. Thanks for sharing
Absolutely, great input bro. Thank you for that!
@@Hot-1LE you’re welcome brother!
Inspirational. I got interested in computers in my teen years. Learned how to build and whatnot but never really thought about getting into the tech industry until recent years. Do you think it's possible for someone already with a full time job to be able to get up to speed and make decent pay within 5 or so years?
Yes absolutely! I did this all while working full time. Just pick something that interest you and go for it. The only people that fail are the ones that dont start and the ones that give up. IT always has demand, in any economy.
This is really motivating man, esp on my journey to law school. Keep at it man, congrats on everything, blessings.
Very much appreciated bro. Law school not easy but its def going to be worth it. Keep on moving up bro. Love the guitar 🤘
@@Hot-1LE it's my brother's Bass, but thank you 😆😆 loved that photo you put up of your rock star hair and guitar. Got any tips for a new beginner learning electric guitar? I really want to learn 😀 but thanks for all the well wishes, law school will be great. Blessings.
@harisqureshi7469 haha thanks man! I been playing since i was 12. Played small shows and shows with thousands of people. Its really about building muscle memory. Pick a simple riff or chord progression or technique and do it over and over and over. Do it with your eyes closed, upside down, drinking cold water or whatever etc. do it until you just cant mess it up. Then do another. If you mess up start entire thing over again. Your hands will build the memory and youll have it for life. Lots of good youtube training videos these days too but a guitar teacher in person can really push you faster! Good luck with it bro
@@Hot-1LE do you have IG? I'd love to keep it handy for if I ever have any quesitons, promise I wont annoy ya... too much. 😆 But sounds good, Im a huge Dire Straits, ACDC, Zeppelin, Floyd, etc. Fan of all of them and I want to learn once and for all. I've had a guitar sitting for a while, so why not start :)
Cloud computing is also a very lucrative field. Maybe you could get into cloud security next. I'm currently in my last year of university, pursuing a computer science degree. But I absolutely hate coding, so I started moving more towards AWS, and I'm loving it.
Nice video, keep it up G! Get a Viper next...
Haha thanks man! I already to AWS and some Azure. The only thing im not so big on is those jobs are usually agile and i hate that 🤣
Thank you for sharing your story bro! What an inspiration. It shows you that when there’s Will there’s a way.I know your dad is proud of you.
Lmao at that Prius that cut you off 😂, had to be a Prius haha
Man thank you so much brother! Your support means a lot to me man. Im officially done with prius 🤣 its always a flippin prius hahaahha
Wait hold on so you're telling me that you haven't spent the last 8 years working at The Daily Planet as a mild mannered reporter? Lol just kidding (or am I... 👀) I genuinely enjoyed this video, you had some great advice especially about karma, and not giving up, and you also kinda tugged on heart strings too, all around great video bro.
🤣😂 daily planet told me to get lost man hahaha I really am honored you watch RCF always awesome when you watch my vids and give great words. Thank you bro.
thank you for sharing this. I'm 42 yrs old. Going through a career change myself. Really needed this info man ! I'm looking into getting into either IT or cyber security ! I have been out of the loop when it comes to computers for about 10-15 yrs. Where do you think i should start, CompTIA ?
Hey man you can start a new career anytime! The comptia security+ is a really good way to start and get a foundation. From there you can specialize however you like!
@@Hot-1LE thanks man ! appreciate all the info here ! keep up with the kickass videos ! hopefully one day i can afford a 1le - hope to autocross one day with one !
I kinda did some of the same. I was always good with computers. I got in the door at the Hospital in my area as just a patient registration. after a year a IT job in pathology opened up and I got it. 22 years later I am still in that department but I have done so many things. Helping to develop and implant digital pathology systems over the years. To this day I am still part of new technology coming out in that field to help implement it and help to push the tech forward for better patient care. I also had that happen my father passed away right before I got into this position and never got to see what I turned into. I went from a basic in the door job to pushing myself and doing my best to make all this work to where I am today
Dude your a legend thats an awesome climb to success! Sorry to hear about your dad as well, im sure you made him proud. 💪
Awesome video, currently holding a A+ & Sec+. I want to go into the networking field as time goes on, and eventually move from a Civic SI to a 911 GT3 😅
This is solid goals man! Ya i did a lot of this just for cars as motivation 🤣 keep on working dude your doing great!
The life of Cody.
Damn man you watched a big amount of it being my bro for so many years. Hey thanks for letting me sleep at the house and take showers while I had no where to go. That was huge man.
@@Hot-1LE yeah sure. Tough times.
Great content! Do you have any advice oe job needing tips for a 16 year old who wants a camaro
i think best thing is to pursue something you enjoy doing and just keep doing it. Thats all you gotta do. Dont worry about being the best or setting crazy standards. Just get in and do it. The rest will build itself no matter what it is. Thank you for watching man!
@@Hot-1LE appreciate you keep up good work
8th to comment yes!
Do you miss your SS 1LE at all? And what do you think of using the zl1 1LE as a street car? Thanks
I think ill always miss my ss 1le to some level. I had some memories with the first one Ill never get to do with this one and that made it so much more special. From a performance stand point im all about the ZL1. ZlE id say go ride in one. The zl1 itself feels a step bumpier and firmer than the ss 1le in every drive mode. You feel more bumps in the road for sure. There is some canyons i go into sport cause track is just too much for the quality of the road. That was a reason why I didn't go ZLE. Then add on the fact they are near impossible to get new with a manual.
@@Hot-1LE ok thanks for the input. I plan on trying a few cars out. I’m finally at a point where I believe I can do this. Been wanting it my whole life. Thanks for the advice. Love the content
Ah congrats man. I wish you best of luck on your car hunt it feels amazing getting to a point you can drive cars you've wanted. Thank you for watching and the support 🙏🙏
Lol my life story
Not really I’m just also starting IT and have a Camaro
You have good taste sir 🤌
You really should wear your seatbelt when driving dude… Oh wait you are… hard to tell without them fancy red seat belts! Good advice here that we can all apply to ourselves. RIP to your dad man. 🙏 We need to hear more about the Hot1le security guard era 😆
Dangggg man already showing off your red seatbelts your gunna get 😂. i appreciate you bro and ty for the good words. One time i watched over this parking lot in Corona and these kids started doing burnouts. I told them if they do a perfect figure 8 around two light poles i wont call it in. They nailed it! 😂 They were driving a 5.0 it was awesome hahahaha
So you work for the government doing help desk for the army
you called your cobalt a camaro lol. you now drive an SCed camaro.
🤣 yeah hilarious how that all worked out haha!
It would be cool if you made a video on time management. You obviously got that down! Do you play video games? HUGE time waster
I was gaming when i read this 😂. Gotta enjoy life too!
My IT buddy is pushing for me to join him in the IT world. I’m an AV engineer currently but it just isn’t paying what I was told it would. Gonna get my A+ cert soon to start getting into that soon
Your buddy is right lol. AV is only bank if you start your own business and that industry is a bit of a pain in that regard. Def branch out you have the mind for it.
This is inspiring. I’m stuck in a job that pays well 6 figures but I absolutely hate my life. I want to get into consulting and project management. You inspired me to study for it and not just tie it to (I need to go back to college for it)
Ya man no job is worth hating your life. Do what you gotta do to get out and move on. A little forward investment can be a big return in the future.
I had one of those Rangers bro don't knock em 💯. Mine had a stick❗ Honestly, that is how I learned, how to drive a manual 😅
Haha i dont knock em i loved that. I had two and same here its how i learned manual. Right out the dealership haha
