• 05:00 - 05:30 network it's modeled after a real world scenario so think about that for a sec dude my dudes gals guys everyone out there it's not a real it's not a typical test it's i i i just took a cisco test and every one of those freaking questions was was multiple choice and i almost died 102 question of pure death just beating him over the head for for an hour two hours two hours it was pardon my french it was hell like it was the worst
• 05:30 - 06:00 however i am so refreshed and excited when i see an exam focused on a real world scenario which is by the way doing like crafting an exam to to be more real world is extremely difficult it is so to do that dude exciting now what i love most about this though so everyone knows that one of the best notifications you can get out in the hacking realm everyone talks about it right it's the oscp the only problem i have with the oscp is
• 06:00 - 06:30 that it's a very very heavy lift like it's scary like i'm terrified of this sucker that's why i rescheduled my exam when i announced i was going to take it uh it's it's a beefy exam it's uh really hard but what i love about elearn let me get back a second ah there we go the ejpt it's in the name right it's for junior penetration testers now it's it's probably going to be difficult without a doubt and i've i saw some people in the comments talking about it uh man it's a challenging exam some people had this like what the crap moment when they were
• 06:30 - 07:00 encountering the exam so it's it's legit like it's gonna it's gonna hit you but it's it's for people just getting into this so i'm adding this to my list and i'll tell you what order i'm gonna take my exams in this year here in a moment but anyways it's a practical certification and it proves you learned the essential penetration skills and i can say this i've talked with a ton of people like i talked with again it was john hammond stoke uh nomsec and also the cyber mentor uh all of them said you learn solid like you should
• 07:00 - 07:30 look in elearn like it's amazing ejpt fantastic place to start now i let me let me say this i did recently make a video about the uh the pen test plus and that's from comptia right from what i've heard and i've read i don't know for sure because i i haven't taken this exam yet i don't know for 100 what i've heard pentest plus is a good place to start and then you move on to the ejpt
• 07:30 - 08:00 now i say that because i think pentest plus it's gonna it's gonna it's gonna have some real world hands-on experience but it's gonna be a lot of multiple choice too it's gonna be like your typical exam ejpt is gonna be a legit real world penetration test which does that not sound exciting to you guys like holy freaking crap that sounds awesome and by the way i'll be answering questions in here here in a moment in the super chats and stuff and looking through comments coffee time
• 08:00 - 08:30 oh yeah i like my little um my things at the bottom there let me switch back i notice the stream is a bit delayed uh that's fine that's fine yeah why is it like jumping over to the side like that oh well terry esther gave me a super chat thanks man he's also the top super chatter dude killing it today i don't know why i jumped over there though so here here's a cool thing and i i need to mention this real quick so i talked about pin test plus being the first one you might want to go for
• 08:30 - 09:00 and i i really have two like and i'm not being paid by elon to talk about any of this so um i'll be totally transparent i think pin pentest plus is an awesome way to start the one of the bigger reasons is that you can get dod 8570 compliant with the government uh for a lot of people that's a huge deal you get that with security plus you get that with the pentest plus that's a big deal but as far as like what's most respected in the industry i think the ejpt holds a ton of weight
• 09:00 - 09:30 just a ton of weight now i'm going to take both of these so here's what i'm doing this year and i'll go into how you study for these exams here in a moment which is one of the more surprising and exciting things i want to talk about oh secret phrase okay i'll give you a secret phrase here in a moment and i'll put in the description don't worry don't worry you'll get a chance to win all this just calm down my plan for 2021 is going to be starting with pentest plus there you are now if you don't already
• 09:30 - 10:00 know i do stream on twitch just go find me network chuck and what i do on twitch is not what i do here on youtube what i do on twitch is i just get on there daily and just study like grind it out so if you want to study with me on twitch if you want to just dedicate yourself to and that's what you have to do right you have to dedicate yourself to a plan a time and a place to study and make it a daily habit if you want to join me in that dude come on starting january 1st i'm starting with uh recertifying or trying to get my ccnp encore doing the
• 10:00 - 10:30 test again because i failed um source object i really don't want to do that again but i have to but then after that after the 15th i'm going for pen test plus so let me get back to that screen here pin test plus once i finish with that sucker move on moving on to ejpt and i keep making the e capitalized i know it's it's going to bother me it's e jpt after that i'm going to jump into oscp boom that's the journey i'm taking i
• 10:30 - 11:00 would love just i'll be ecstatic for you guys to join me on that journey uh so let's talk about real quick how you train for the ejpt because it is very practical very hands-on and i'm not saying you need pen test plus before that you probably don't actually it would definitely help and you get that dod nice fuzzy feeling if you want to look for the government uh but how you train for this is through ine they were recently purchased by ine i think they even show us how to get there let me see oh and here's some skills you'll want to have before even attempting this so like any hacking certification you want
• 11:00 - 11:30 to know something about something right you can't just come in it's kind of like the cloud people ask me all the time hey chuck how do i get started in the cloud hey chuck how do i get started with uh cyber security my answer is always the same start with the basics like you you can't you can't do this stuff unless you know the underlying technologies so i'm just trying to make sure everything is good and streaming fun it's good you will you will find yourself at a huge disadvantage if you come in trying to learn these more advanced things like like
• 11:30 - 12:00 like hacking and this is hacking it's a hacking certification or cloud and stuff like this you'll find yourself a disadvantage if you don't know the basics well and when i say basics i mean networking i mean basic computer knowledge uh really networking is one of the biggest ones i feel like it's one of the one of the largest ones and if we look at the requirements real quick it does indeed say let me get my magic pen out tcpip ip routing which by the way i've got a free ccna course on youtube this will cover
• 12:00 - 12:30 a ton of that land protocols http and webs a lot of this is going to be covered fully in uh and ccna stuff um your skills in the following areas will be assessed and sort of so okay okay here we go here we go this is not prerequisite i'm reading this now so i'm reading this with you now it's not a prereq but you will be tested on these technologies so possibly as you're going through the certification path which i'll show you what that looks like on ine right now you'll learn all these things and then of course to go through learning the pen testing
• 12:30 - 13:00 methodologies exploding with metasploit looks pretty fun doing vulnerability assessments that's killer like you need that this is real world again it's actually taking you through a real world penetration test on a simulated off a real network off a real corporate environment so that's that's amazing it's for it again my biggest i hate it so much with certification exams they don't properly assimilate the environment you'll actually be doing like multiple choice questions are not real world they just are not this i'm pretty excited about i can
• 13:00 - 13:30 get behind this whoo coffee break i'm getting a little hyped up there so i'm gonna take a break real quick i'm gonna give you the secret phrase now can anybody guess the secret phrase you may have already guessed it to enter the contest i got the link below again we're giving away a year of ines cyber security pass which is a two thousand dollar value insane thank you ini and elon for doing this uh anybody guess what the what the passphrase is anybody

• 27:30 - 28:00 year or before the yeah after the new year and then you know what come hang out with me on my stream on twitch every morning and let's just refresh i'll be going through security topics that will overlap with ccna so perhaps i'll start with that that's what i should do i want to start with security topics on the ccnp tonna overlap with ccna but with the ccna in that realm the only thing you really can do right now is just dig deep into the book um labbing really isn't a thing you need to do for it labbing's fun but you don't have to know
• 28:00 - 28:30 how to configure you have to know about it so i would just write down some some anki space repetition uh note cards and go for it dude just knock it out it sucks i know but we all fail we all fail man uh but i'm rooting for you dude everyone give terry some love that sucks dude coffee helps too terry all right so we chat from uh vedit i i
• 28:30 - 29:00 didn't see anything uh from the chat let me see if i can um see if i missed anything from you you said chuck but thanks uh but i think it's thank you uh for the super chat it's actually showing up in my my screen here yeah it is thanks for super chat i don't see a question i'll maybe come back and look later here um super chat from jamin let me go find it real quick
• 29:00 - 29:30 so thanks for help absolutely and how much does how much does the ejpt cost i believe the voucher does cost four hundred dollars for you with the one voucher uh then of course you want to get training you can you can attempt it without training right like if you already have experience um it won't be easy you'll want to do it um but yeah it's here's the certification game no certification is going to be cheap
• 29:30 - 30:00 it's it's just how it is right uh but thanks for super chat uh joe main i think or jammin uh steven thank you for the super chat good question i'm gonna throw it up real quick says uh what have you heard about the test out pc pro and netpro certs are they worth it should i go for comptia um i have not heard and here's my take on
• 30:00 - 30:30 certifications and i i i sound like a broken record to a lot of my core audience but if you're new here here's what i think about certifications they're amazing they're amazing they'll change your freaking life but only only if the job you're going for values it the industry values it that means if you go to a job listing site and you search for test out pro or whatever what the frick it's called i can't even like say what it's called and there's no jobs looking for that certification
• 30:30 - 31:00 it's not viable to you it's not it just won't get it won't if it doesn't not if it doesn't look good on your resume it won't add value to your resume it's not it's not going to do anything for you comptia certifications they do help you so if came between looking at the test.pc pro whatever the crap it's called versus comptia come to you all day comptia all day um for me it's a i'm sure they both contain great content i would probably lean more on comptia for content uh but at the end of the day it's all about marketability what certification looks best on your resume
• 31:00 - 31:30 this is how it is at the end of the day that's all that matters my brother um he got his a plus in high school a jerk i never had the opportunity to do that but part of doing that was they also we got a free voucher for the test.pc pro and he did that didn't do anything for him like no one cares about that i could be wrong though man let me know in the in the chat if if you guys think it's valuable i don't think it is i don't think it is um super chat from patrick ah where'd he go where'd he go where'd
• 31:30 - 32:00 he go where'd he go i just can't tie it today there it is this is uh chuck thanks for the great content appreciate it patrick um oh by the way guys i know you're probably getting tired of me going live every single day uh talking about giving away stuff i don't want to um overload your your feed with stuff but you know i want to give back i will be back to my regular programming here after the after the new year creating more more training content more dedicated videos more hacking just more fun stuff we'll
• 32:00 - 32:30 get back to that don't worry uh but for now i'm kind of end of the year just kind of doing some chill live streams and just hanging out with you guys answering questions giving you free stuff because i know i know how sucky it is to want to get started in it to to want to train don't want to learn and money is an issue that sucks so i want to show you great resources giving you some free resources like david bomble's linux stuff man if you're a network engineer or nit at all and you want to learn linux great option giving away the first 500 people to get
• 32:30 - 33:00 that link below i got a few more super chats coming up let me see here and by the way thanks for everyone like giving super chats it does help support me and that's amazing um if you don't know what i do if you don't know what i do here if you're new i i get new subscribers every single day and a lot of you are like who's this network shop guy he made this video about linux or ddosing that i'm really interested in who is this guy i make videos about it and it's really whatever whatever strikes my interest it could be anything
• 33:00 - 33:30 it could be hacking could be cloud it could be networking i'm doing a free ccna course on my channel right now i know you can ask me right now chuck when's the next ccna video coming soon soon it's coming soon just relax um i'll get there eventually uh it's coming after the new year but basically i make stuff about stuff i teach you i do come from a teaching background i professionally worked for a training company called cbt nuggets in june uh for about two years and uh on june
• 33:30 - 34:00 2020 i quit that job to pursue youtube full-time to produce content here for you full-time that's what i do here so when people give me super chats or join my membership or do whatever to support me it's to make more content like what i do here to give more stuff away to make more freely accessible content for everyone because learningit it's amazing like it's it's awesome it's like cheating life but it can be hard it can be hard a lot of the training out there is dry and if i can do anything to liven it up
• 34:00 - 34:30 and that that is if i'm good at anything it's not that i'm a genius hacker or i'm good at like a million things it's i'm good at taking complex things and making it simple because really i have to dumb it down for myself so i'm i i'm good at doing that on youtube here that's what i do that's what i do anyways more super chats let's see um masa i think i saw you yesterday right let's put you up on the super chat here they say uh help me i have issues with
• 34:30 - 35:00 uh net hunter on nexus 5. the wi-fi is not running the error is really the main oh it's the the python script too many values to unpack so honestly i have not messed with nethunter or wi-fi i believe david has some stuff you might want to hit up david on that but i couldn't help you on that right now but probably something i'm getting into soon yeah david bomble i think has some stuff on that recently but thank you for the super chat i appreciate it the lead
• 35:00 - 35:30 thanks for the super chat says hey chuck how late is it to get hey chuck how late is too late to get into cyber security i'm about to turn 29 but want to get into it without prior it experience okay fantastic question i love answering these questions because it's um oh real quick ninja torrance biggest fan from india learn some hacking from your vids awesome dude shout out to you let me switch to camera camera one
• 35:30 - 36:00 i have to make sure it switches because it there is a huge huge delay streaming in 4k so in getting into it i don't care if you're 16 or you're 93 now is the time to get into i.t like especially cyber security i'm 31 just now getting into cyber security not you did say this you don't have any priority experience i do have over a decade of it experience and that does
• 36:00 - 36:30 give me a huge leg up in getting started and just getting familiar with things um but that doesn't matter like you can start now i mean i i love getting people on my channel and i've had them on before like cisco panther um i've done two interviews with that guy and his story is amazing he came to america from nigeria and he just dedicated himself he he decided to study and become a network engineer and just he just did it like he got a ccna and ccnp with which you know cc pays ccnp ccm
• 36:30 - 37:00 ccna is the uh the entry level cisco networking certification now and then ccmp is the professional level he got both of those in one year he studied like it was his job and i still use that phrase he he mentioned that phrase to me i still use it today he made studying his job and he just went for it and now he's doing networking for aws killer dude he's amazing go follow him seriously he's called cisco panther but yeah never never too late to freaking start um i don't care how old you are you can start right now you can get in like
• 37:00 - 37:30 seriously oh and dude i love the cyber mentor too heath adams he's got the most amazing practical ethical hacking course he's a penetration tester has his own company but he was a an accounting major like he had his masters in accounting he was an accountant uh but he hated it so he decided to switch over to cyber security and just learned it from the ground up you can do that right now 29 is not too old in fact i take a no i take a page out of garyvee's book dude at 29 you're just getting started
• 37:30 - 38:00 you get so much time i yes like seriously you have so much time like there's no rush no worry you can turn around change your life right now no i.t experience no worries you've got life experience right like you you've worked customer service you you've solved problems that's that's half the battle now just find a path hacking cyber security is a great path like freaking fantastic you saw all the packs that happened this year right like everyone got hacked everyone got hacked solar winds got
• 38:00 - 38:30 hacked that was a big deal i guarantee you the the most amazing benefit of solar ones getting hacked this year is that cyber security budgets for all these it departments are going to be huge so they're looking for people uh that means that there's gonna be a shortage of jobs or not shortage of jobs a uh an excess of jobs for cyber security professionals and they're not they're gonna have a hard time finding people seriously so you're coming into a good industry just start learning the basics now learn networking learn uh system admin stuff learn linux learn
• 38:30 - 39:00 a bit of scripting just and just enjoy the journey you will you will fall in love with it and it's never too late never too late 29 is perfect 42 is perfect 53 is perfect nothing stopping you you can get inside like here real talk you can get into any really anything in it right now as long as you plan on moving up within three to four years in america uh you can make six figures that's that that's more than a lot of
• 39:00 - 39:30 industries that you can get into like that's more than most people will ever ever make in other industries with degrees like that that's crazy right like you can right now i don't care what you're doing are you a teacher are you a plumber are you an electrician electrician's actually making pretty good money um anything you're doing right now you could stop switch to it work your way up to six figures in three years without a degree like you can like that's i did that i did that you can do it so i don't i don't care how old you are dude
• 39:30 - 40:00 anyways off soapbox that's what i believe anybody else believe that [Music] encourage them to chat dude let him know if you are a career changer you're my favorite kind of people by the way career changers love it love it all right anyways i've got some more super chat to answer so another super chat from masa thank you so much again it does mean a lot um they said
• 40:00 - 40:30 do a video on uh on nethunter cali distro on nexus 5 with wi-fi monitoring mode on please okay let me drop that down nut hunter i've never played with that but it sounds fun he says on uh nexus 5 okay deal i'll check it out and thank you for the video ideas by the way got any video ideas dude hit me up would love to hear your ideas screw chat
• 40:30 - 41:00 from a random stream of text i don't know how to say let me bring it up by the way is everyone able to enter the contest today is it is it going okay it seems like people are entering it it's a killer killer giveaway like really gosh these companies do some amazing things and giving away all the stuff um so super chat thank you from x relic uh have ccna scheduled on january 30th any last minute advice i'm using cbt
• 41:00 - 41:30 nuggets and boson labs so january 30th i think out about a month i would say just uh you know here's what i would do today tomorrow sometime the next week take a practice exam i don't know what you have so you have boson labs maybe consider getting bose on xm and doing their practice lab or their practice exam take it like you would take the exam do a pure simulation um 102 questions in a timed environment
• 41:30 - 42:00 the one thing i love about bozon is a their exam looks exactly exactly like the cisco one like legit the same uh so i would just take it like like you're taking the exam and then see your results and see where your week on it'll give you a good breakdown of where you're weak and that's where you got to focus on a study because like 30 days 30 days out you have to you have to plan efficiently you have to study what you're actually weak on not with things you already know sure you could go back to spanning tree and relearn spanning tree but you may
• 42:00 - 42:30 already be good enough on spanning tree you may need to learn automation you may need to learn security like terry you messed up on i didn't mess up on just he was weaker on so that's what i would do is see where you're weakest and double down on your weaknesses right now that could be a lot of labbing it might be ospf right it could be that you're again weak on automation or wireless wireless kick my butt on the ccna and i did pass but wireless kept my butt on ccna and it kicked my butt on ccnp on course so that tells chuck that he needs to learn
• 42:30 - 43:00 ccna wireless wireless stuff and i said no i still don't want to do it and then uh shiny tech things good to see you again said i cram the night before and the morning of on items that you're a week on you know i'm kind of i'm kind of between on that because shiny tech things i did cram for my last exam the encore right before and it left me just kind of burnt out kind of like i don't want to be here i hate this exam and it probably affected my performance
• 43:00 - 43:30 so i'd be careful with that i would say maybe do as much as you can the 30 days you have and then just kind of relax the day before don't do anything maybe hit up a few you know space repetition uh flash cards which you should be doing but beyond that don't stress yourself out because you got to have this thing fresh you got to hack that sucker it was good luck on that um x relic good luck uh keras super chat
• 43:30 - 44:00 thank you uh says hey chuck been watching for a while love your stuff finishing my ceh they're gonna go for the uh go full for the ccna and ccnp dude awesome i'm curious uh that's an interesting path um so you're going from the ceh to ccna ccmp normally it's kind of the other way around but uh good luck on ceh hope you have a company paying for that because that's expensive cert it's one of the reasons i'm kind of backing out of it but it's it's still solid like it's in
• 44:00 - 44:30 it's an industry search that people value um it does hold a ton of weight yeah ccna and ccnp that's a journey and i love it you're going to have some so much fun with that i'm super chat from joe joe p oh man congrats joe joe just passes az104 which if you don't know what that is that's the azure azure administrator associate exam certification for microsoft azure so getting into cloud
• 44:30 - 45:00 i actually created with knox hutchinson on cbt nuggets the azure az104 course and i'm i'm az104 certified so freaking fun that's like the best exam cloud is here to stay man get your cloud certs um so congrats joe p i want to pass the ccna in october man everyone give give joe a round of applause that's amazing um he's taking an interest in network automation yeah that's a no-brainer it's so fun should i go for linux plus or go for devnet good question good question um
• 45:00 - 45:30 i would say if you're into devnet if you're into network automation devnet's a no-brainer for you i passed devnet this year and it does cover a lot of what you'll want to know for network automation uh and it does quiz you on on linux stuff it's not super heavy on linux but it does it does feature linux stuff in there so yeah uh i would say both both um go devnet and go linux plus i i have a goal for myself and and 2021 to
• 45:30 - 46:00 go deeper into linux and deeper into python and uh all those skills will will pay dividends like crazy so do that but do congrats killing it dude az 104 and ccna that's one dare i say sexy resume you have there uh ricardo costa thanks for the super chat let me see if i uh missed anything i don't see any question or anything there it is there it is
• 46:00 - 46:30 so ricardo says uh best place to learn so my children are like freaking out down there best place to learn uh security plus and pen test plus it pro tv or um now e-learn is now ine i don't think they have they may have the security plus stuff and uh pentax plus stuff i'm not even sure actually um but i think it pro tv is solid for security plus and pin test plus and i know for a fact i would say um uh honestly i t pro tv use my code
• 46:30 - 47:00 network chuck get 30 off and i get a kickback do it affiliate just saying actually i'm curious now does um does ine have pen test plus let me check it out they're definitely going to give you the tools to learn penetration testing for the pen test plus but i'm not sure that path is designed for the pentas plus let's see that security plus one thing i
• 47:00 - 47:30 do love about it pro tv is they uh work very closely with um comptia which will always tell you you're gonna get some pretty good information from them anyways thanks for super chat ricardo appreciate it man got some more coming in you guys are cool thank you sincerely thank you i'm gonna be here all day [Laughter] uh steven super chat let me check it out
• 47:30 - 48:00 uh oh oh oh okay so let me see oh okay this is the switch from earlier it's what your school offers it's a non-dod cert this was the test out pc pro thing yet i don't i don't think it holds any uh weight though yeah a lot of schools get their curriculum and they have that certification but dude yeah yeah i don't know oh and steven's also 29 going for cybersecurity he's the oldest guy in his class besides the
• 48:00 - 48:30 instructors which again no shame in that dude no shame in that at all okay we got super chat from careless careless finch thanks for the super chat sir i mean he says ah i can't i'm i'm losing it as i go further into the stream hey chuck i'm a first year undergrad recently won a pen test plus attempt voucher on the ctf which that's that's freaking cool
• 48:30 - 49:00 should i attempt it or sell it to someone or for half price huh good question should i attempt or sell to someone for half price well here's my challenge of you careless fence so it sounds like you don't really need it maybe because you're already in school right now i'm i would say attempt it if you if you need it if you're going down the path um here's what i would also say this community this everyone here uh the more you give into it the more you get back seriously so if you don't need
• 49:00 - 49:30 it right now i wouldn't say sell it i'd say give it away give it away um if you don't need it right now now i'm saying that without knowing your financial situation it might be more beneficial for you to sell it i totally get that but i can tell you this much dude give it away and you will see some return for that anyways thanks for the super chat dude um let's see samarth tom thanks for the sticker appreciate it man
• 49:30 - 50:00 uh christopher pace let me throw you up real quick i wish this program was easier to use he's been chatting up all the place just enjoy your content and thank you for the help helping others thank you for inspiring me and helping me uh these these comments these chats help keep me going seriously um r01x ronix i think let me see if i uh missed anything from you i don't see uh

• 50:30 - 51:00 love the community you're building i appreciate it man uh if you guys don't know i have a discord channel a discord server and is it a channel or server i forget which one to call it uh we're like 30 000 strong now and it's uh actually let me see how many we have now if you're not part of it you should be it's amazing it's not amazing because i do anything with it i just send people there uh but it's it's truly incredible what the people in there have done with it
• 51:00 - 51:30 yeah we got 30 000 people in there right now and the best thing you can do for yourself getting into it hacking cyber security whatever it is engage in community don't be afraid to ask for help don't be afraid to give help like seriously anyways uh thanks crucial for it man uh thanks for the uh super chat and the inspiring and inspirational stuff for me dank man super chat
• 51:30 - 52:00 says uh thank you for the inspiring content chuck recently got a raspberry pi to use for learning pen test should the ccna be the first cert i go for great question um i think yeah i think yeah uh with with pen testing like like i said earlier i was telling everyone before with with anything like the cloud or cyber security those are skills that build on top of
• 52:00 - 52:30 existing skills you should already have so learning networking getting a solid amazing foundation in networking will help you become a good pen tester if you don't do that you're going to have to go back and learn it anyway as you're going through the pen testing stuff as you're learning whatever is pen test plus or ejpt or whatever you go through you're gonna have to go back and learn those networking concepts i think starting with ccna getting a fantastic industry standard certification that says hey i know i know networking because i took the exam um
• 52:30 - 53:00 that's a good place to start i would say yeah and dude raspberry pi that's seriously one of the best things to learn with go for it all right make sure the stream's still up and running cool let's keep going here corey miller i'm inspiring stuff from corey um he's 30 and trying to get into
• 53:00 - 53:30 hacking never too late i can tell you this guys like seriously i know where you're coming from when you say that because like right now as i'm trying to learn hacking it's it's an a lot of it's so brand new to me yeah i've i've done security defensive stuff before nothing like this though it's a brand new world for me it's a whole thing so i as i'm going through it having fun like no doubt having fun but man that impostor syndrome sets in
• 53:30 - 54:00 pretty quick i'm like dang i'm i'm 31 i've been in the i.t industry for over 10 years now i got a youtube channel i'm like where i'm like hey i'm network truck i know things at least that's how it is perceived but i hit these these topics and these questions and these problems that i'm like i this is this is difficult it's it's it's hard like and that that's the thing i want to say is in hit is that it's hard doing this stuff it's not easy so when you hit a brick wall when you're hitting when you're feeling frustrated know that we're all going through that everyone's going through that and it's
• 54:00 - 54:30 never too late never too freaking late thanks corey for inspiring us on that i'm zach thanks for the super chat zach mccluskey so wait if i want to get an i.t and go even further is it possible without a degree oh zack i should have like a button or something i play when people ask about college because y'all know what's coming let me tell you something about college
• 54:30 - 55:00 i don't have a degree i don't and i've been pretty dang successful in i.t my his six figures within three to four years i always forget it's like three to four years no degree just experience and certifications that's it that's it no degree at all uh not to say i didn't try to go for my degree and i i it it's just because i wanted to get a job in the government at some point i wanted to you know be be cool and work for the dod i stopped after a while when i realized i don't why am i doing this i'm already making
• 55:00 - 55:30 six figures why am i going for a degree i don't care about this i'm gonna get my next certification so yes um zach you can do this without a degree and that's that's the best thing i can tell you know for those of you who are getting your degree now don't don't suddenly feel like oh crap chuck said i don't need a degree so i'm wasting my time no degrees are valuable crazy valuable they are valuable forever so don't don't get me wrong in that i'm just saying that you don't need a degree it's possible to do this
• 55:30 - 56:00 without a degree now when it comes time like to for you to be hired and there's one guy on the resume list who has his degree with the certification and then you over here with just your certification the guy with the degree looks a bit better that's just how it is but you don't need it you don't i don't have one my brother doesn't have one he's 20 how old is he now 21 22 he's now a cloud engineer making great money has a tesla jerk i told him when he was in high school i
• 56:00 - 56:30 said hey let's test this plan out don't go to college don't do it i'm gonna ruin your life for an experiment don't go to college just uh straight out of high school work on certifications and try to find your first job he did that computer repair shop first worked his way to a help desk he had his a plus got a ccna became a network engineer and then got his aws certification uh learned some python learning some linux and now he's a cloud engineer at twenty one twenty two i forget what
• 56:30 - 57:00 holidays now i think he's 22 now it's stupid that's stupid how how you can cheat life like that so if you're in america i i can't speak for everywhere in the world because i know degrees are different uh job requirements are different for everywhere in the world but here in america and the job markets we have degrees are not required and if that's the barrier for you if that's the barrier to you getting into i.t if you can't afford it if you don't want to put yourself in a crazy amount of debt just to have that pretty thing on your wall you don't have to you don't have to you can skip the line
• 57:00 - 57:30 uh a lot of entry level i.t jobs you can get right now like start applying right now just say hey i see you have a help desk opening i like it i love it can i just get the job it's i i can go on forever about this but yeah no you can go without it it's amazing it's freaking awesome okay here we go more super chats i'm gonna get some water real quick rehydrated ready to go
• 57:30 - 58:00 uh omar super chat from omar i guess they're answering these questions quicker because i uh i go too much into depth it says uh i want to become a sysadmin i have an aws cloud practitioner certification two mtas and a plus but a little experience what should my next path be is entry level network exam next so dude you're started up right now you
• 58:00 - 58:30 are you want to become a sysadmin you have your aws two mtas a plus huh i would say go for azure dude i would say if you want to become a system admin which is an amazing career path a lot of a lot of system admin jobs are looking for people who know the on-prem the on-premises and i don't know how to say that that's why i always say on-prem look for on-prem guys who know the the physical stuff the the on
• 58:30 - 59:00 server 2008 12 20 25 whatever we're going to have in the future but also knowing the cloud because a lot of companies are doing these hybrid cloud environments having their presence on prem and in the cloud like a lot i'm still in contact with my previous companies and yeah they're in the cloud and they need admins like you who know both so i would say you got your azure stuff i mean you got your aws stuff good go for azure um it's not hard to go between clouds i always think it's your az-104 that's what i would say
• 59:00 - 59:30 be a great path for you and yeah getting experience so like if you don't already have a job right now dude like just get on help desk get on help desk that'll be the best path get on that help desk from le phil i know i'm not saying that right i may be let me know how do you find out what else to learn when picking an i.t path i want the penta i want the pentas plus
• 59:30 - 60:00 but i don't know what else to learn aside from focusing on certs so hacking is really cool and that they have a lot of stuff you can do uh one of the things i mentioned in my stream yesterday was it yesterday man time just bleeds through it goes by so fast uh try hack me you can actually hack real things for free with their advent of cyber and that's a great supplement to whatever you're studying for certification wise it gives you real world experience shows
• 60:00 - 60:30 you where you're weak shows you cool things like so you're actually doing real world stuff and you can fill in those gaps beyond that beyond certification you will always always benefit from learning more linux and learning more python always learn some like if you want to if you want to hack more windows environments which the majority of of corporates right now corporate environments have windows servers windows computers uh learning powershell like there's there's a ton of things like so many things um
• 60:30 - 61:00 yeah having a certification path is great like pence's plus because it makes you well-rounded it gives you a clear path to success uh but yeah i i hear what you're saying because there's so many skills you can learn so doing doing those hack the box ctf kind of things try hack me totally worth it all right uh brandon moore super chat from him
• 61:00 - 61:30 it says uh what was your schedule and hours like in your different positions great question great question uh from starting in best buy and help desk to network engineer to today okay this is fun let me turn my other camera primary camera answer this question so when i was a help desk person my hours were the best because you have set hours you're kind of like uh because there's so many of you and
• 61:30 - 62:00 you're not specialized like so typically on a help desk in a corporate environment a help desk is like iit support if you don't already know that there's probably at the time actually it was kind of rough because i i was in a smallish company of small to medium size so just me and two other people on the help desk we eventually got bigger but uh yeah i could go home at five that was great now that's what that was my hours leaving on time because you weren't a system admin you were a network engineer you weren't having to do maintenance windows and all these kind of things great hours now i say that with a grain
• 62:00 - 62:30 of salt because if you want to move up if you want to accelerate you should not be leaving at five and you shouldn't be coming out on time you should be coming in early that's what you got to do if you want to if you want to excel in ic what i did to put my best foot forward and actually start killing it coming in early and studying at my desk what did that do for me two things first it made me study two it showed everyone
• 62:30 - 63:00 around me my boss the system and network engineers above me show them i was serious that i was ambitious that i wanted to move up and uh that's what i'll do for you and then then after hours no i stayed late i stayed late my wife hated it because we were a young family and we had one we had yeah we had two young kids at the time i would stay late um sometimes it was just talking with the networking system admins becoming friends networking with them we were talking
• 63:00 - 63:30 about star wars and gum crap like just just becoming friends with them was huge uh also when there was sorry my house automation's going off i'll often make a video about that too what also what i also did was uh stay for maintenance windows they always need help like when they're installing a new server when they're making a network change or something i would stay after and help them sometimes it meant just checking to make sure things worked so they're doing a huge migration i would say hey i volunteer
• 63:30 - 64:00 let me help you and check make sure that this website still works make sure the phones and the floors are still up uh maybe it's i'm carrying their servers for them and helping them rack and stack them so yeah like my hours on the help desk were they varied and it was my choice i stayed late and came in early and it paid off now as i moved up to the network engineer role when i was working for a small to medium-sized business uh it was crazy like my hours were nuts oh my gosh early late
• 64:00 - 64:30 between staying late and coming in early and then also just studying on my own time i was working crazy hours probably on a normal day 12 hours a day and then getting those late like oh i worked for a company where i didn't have a backup like i was the network engineer so and that's a horrible place to be so i was getting every single call at night if things weren't working i was the only person who knew the system to troubleshoot it don't don't be that person like pl like beg with your people to hire someone else
• 64:30 - 65:00 uh as i moved on to a bigger company that had more structure that had more than one network engineer my life was more normal more chill i can go home on time and that and actually i was advised and pressured to go home on time they wanted that work life balance uh i wasn't on call all the time they would have uh on-call schedules so like every like one week out of the month i was on call so it's super like it varies it varies you can have a great work-life balance in it uh if you choose the right company and
• 65:00 - 65:30 sometimes you have no control over that i get that and i didn't for a long time and i moved my way up i worked my way up to a larger company and that that provided that work-life balance now as a youtuber now my work-life balance is all over the freaking map dude i um i control my time but i'm always wanting to create more stuff it's for what i do now it's more addictive i love making videos i love doing live streams i love talking with you guys i love helping people the big difference for me now is if i
• 65:30 - 66:00 don't make a video if i don't do something that's just one more person i'm not helping and that's that's huge like when you think about it like if you can make one like think about this for a second and this is this is why i work so much um are you also hanging with me because i'm kind of like just digressing on things the reason i work so much right now is because uh where was i going with that holy crap my mind just like i was looking at the chat and i got distracted oh okay think about this i make one video and it
• 66:00 - 66:30 on average gets you know at least over 20 000 views that's a lot of people reached that's a lot of people encouraged that's a lot of like someone who's like struggling with something and suddenly they have the motivation and the strength to to move on that's amazing so it i feel like a huge responsibility to make content as often as i can so it does result in sometimes 16 17 hour days some days i'm like i can't even today and i just stop um i work a lot more now than i did as a
• 66:30 - 67:00 network engineer but i have more control over my time more freedom it's a great question that's a fun question uh masa again coming out with the idea i love this throw it in here so hey thanks for taking the idea also um starting an online presence wish me luck and hope to collaborate someday thanks for all you do awesome i can't recommend enough for people who are trying to accelerate in the industry and
• 67:00 - 67:30 get their name known to uh start a brand it's kind of cliche but it it does matter matthew great question switch out from matthew ever use parrot os if you don't know what parrot os is it's the uh not really the competition just the alternative to kali linux for hacking linux distributions i've heard great things um i know that a lot of people over at hack the box i was talking with them they prefer parrot os i'm going to make a comparison video here soon in the new
• 67:30 - 68:00 year comparing cali to parrot os at the end of the day right it's like both these distributions are just distros that have pre-built tool or pre-installed tools you can use ubuntu you can use mac you can use anything really you can just install the tools manually that's at the end of it it doesn't matter too much but uh i've heard great things about paired os i don't use it currently i currently use cali so we'll see we'll take a look at it here soon all right
• 68:00 - 68:30 i'm going to answer a few more we've been going for a bit and i'm tired all right real quick quick commercial break if you haven't already got a contest going on right now to enter to win i'm gonna give away some coffee here in a moment too if you want to win an ine year long subscription cyber security pass which is incredible like a year with ine you can take over the world dude seriously and that's enough to obviously get your ejpt or whatever penetration
• 68:30 - 69:00 testing thing you want to do or anything in cyber security they have so much go check it out and seriously go check it out they have a free starter pass with a ton of stuff you can check out right now link below to enter the ine contest the super secret phrase is ejpt there's three giveaways one is the year long pass worth two thousand bucks the second prize is two elearn vouchers for um any other exams that's 800 value and then third prize is a elearn pass voucher for uh 400 so super cool super awesome
• 69:00 - 69:30 check them out and then also david sorry long commercial break and also david bomble's giving away his linux course for network engineers link below the first 500 to redeem that get it but if you can afford it support david and creators like myself and buy it if you can anyways real quick let me see i'm gonna do a few more but i'm getting burnt out a little bit here i need a break button i should put a break button here so i can go take a breather but here we
• 69:30 - 70:00 go uh kenneth rogers thank you says hey bud i'm looking to retire in five years in my current field i want to start getting into cyber security now and be ready for when i retire do i need to learn python or dive into learning networks firewall the answer is yes and by the way i love what you're doing so freaking cool um you're retiring but you're gonna learn another skill which i think is essential like i'm never gonna retire it's always gonna be like me making videos here about some cool thing
• 70:00 - 70:30 i learned who knows what i'll be doing and when i'm older i don't know when i retire so thanks that's a huge super chat thank you um the answer is yes learn python and dive into learning networks and firewall the good news is that when you are learning cyber security a lot of times those skills will intersect and you end up learning those at the same time especially if you're going through these capture the flag things like hack the box try hack me those kind of things will have use of all those skills that's really cool but yeah
• 70:30 - 71:00 you don't have to become a python programmer you don't have to do that you're not going to be you know developing programs but learning python as a scripting language will be extremely valuable learning linux deeply will be extremely valuable learning how to create bash scripts will be extremely valuable but also learning the foundations of networks and firewalls and security is essential so yeah the answer is yes in what order i would say rotate maybe python one week linux the next uh pick a path like a pen test plus is
• 71:00 - 71:30 good ejpt that's why i love certification exams because they do put you on a path where it's like okay how much do i need to learn of this how much python do i need to know for to just get started how much do i like they give you a path and that's what's so cool about certification so um that's what i would do thanks for the super chat kenneth and again kudos to you for just killing it with your retirement that's amazing mike dunn thank you for the super chat uh
• 71:30 - 72:00 just by networking and attending events i have my ejpt and this year i've been given an oscp voucher pcxv2 which i don't know what that is actually i'll pin tester something right and then the stands g pen for free network dude great advice so what mike is saying is that just through attending like networking events which they these people do have the e-learning offensive security they'll often like just give stuff away it's you know to advertise things but
• 72:00 - 72:30 they'll also often just do that for you so network network network get to know people get in community can't emphasize that enough it's extremely viable i can't tell you how valuable that is thanks mike for the reminder it's it's huge uh let's see i don't know how to say your name i'm gonna try pke mumbreon i'm gonna go with that thank you for the super chat i'm gonna throw it up real quick if you do the pen test plus room on try
• 72:30 - 73:00 hack me then they will give you 10 off towards the test for finishing dude that's cool i don't even know they had a room let's go check it out try hack me i want to log in is it free i'm assuming it's probably free that's killer now also shameless plug if you use my code if you use my link for comptia which i'll grab here in a moment you also get 10 off that's cool you can do it through try hacking me that's awesome i believe it is free
• 73:00 - 73:30 that's really cool thanks for the heads up dude um luke suey or luke sue it's polish so i'm not really sure how to say it again so cool i get to talk with people from around the world uh best regards from poland that's awesome thanks man i appreciate the super chat alpha alpha thank you for the super chat
• 73:30 - 74:00 um oh great great question can you make an introduction video to hack the box this would be great and keep up uh keep doing what you're doing so i'll give a spoiler right now you guys are with the stream with me right now all 900 something of you right now the giveaway is continuing i'll be doing a live stream tomorrow and the next day and the next day like i'm doing this i'm going to finish the 10 days it's actually 11 days hack the box is like the last day and they're that's huge what they're giving away
• 74:00 - 74:30 so i will be making a video about hack the box if you don't know what hack the box is it's i can't believe there's things like this that exist it's so cool they give you legit machines and environments to hack you have to hack your way into it it's it's amazing and it tests your skills they have easy medium hard hacking is so freaking lit i love it a great great idea and i will be doing that here soon uh let's see uh mystic not a smurf
• 74:30 - 75:00 okay super chat let me throw up real quick in my first year of college towards my computer science degree and recently took some classes with ec council for my ceh and my certified network defender cnd i have a lot of work and wondering what a good study schedule to follow because that's rough i i totally get that trying to work and uh dealing with a study schedule and
• 75:00 - 75:30 getting certifications it's rough there's just one thing i would do whatever you're working on whatever certification you're working on study every day just commit to every day don't say i'm gonna study for four hours today you can do that but you don't have to and often that leads to burnout that leads to you not studying like if you wake up on a monday you're like dude i'm freaking wiped i had a little too much fun on the weekend i don't feel like studying today i can't stay for four hours that'll happen
• 75:30 - 76:00 uh what i would do instead is just commit to studying every day at least at least 30 minutes that's it feel good about doing that too like set it to set the timer 30 minutes study focus do that 30 minutes and then you're done now here's two things will happen from this right first maintaining that habit will change your freaking life trust me so if you're watching this you're like how do i tackle my ex certification how do i start learning python linux
• 76:00 - 76:30 whatever 30 minutes a day that's it that's the secret don't skip a day just do it um so it'll it'll make you consistent and it will freaking change your life two it's going to do something else too what'll often happen is you're going to study for more than 30 minutes that's what that's what's going to happen right you'll get into it 30 minutes and you'll you'll kind of get into a rhythm you're like whoa okay that was cool i'm learning about uh nmap like you see eh you'll learn nmap and nmap is freaking awesome i'm lapping it up
• 76:30 - 77:00 30 minutes go by your timer goes off you know i can do another session let me do 30 more minutes i want to keep going before you know it three hours go by you've been learning and labbing and having so much fun you can hack yourself a little bit that's hacking the brain so at least just say at least 30 minutes and that's it you'll reach your goal and eventually you'll often go over and that's what's pretty cool about that yeah don't and also avoid burnout at all cost take breaks when you need it recognize when you need a break
• 77:00 - 77:30 um superchat from angel thank you and he says uh thanks for encouraging us thanks to you and david bomble pass my ccna whoo yes in november now looking between uh cloud and security been doing uh desktop sysadmin uh do cloud and security hand in hand like i would do both uh you obviously gotta pick one first i would just do whatever is uh more advantageous in your current job so you're currently a desktop sysadmin
• 77:30 - 78:00 what i would do right now is ask your boss ask uh the admins around you say hey what like maybe you want to become a network engineer a security admin cloud and ask them hey what would help me get a promotion what would help me get a raise what would help me get to that next role design that path with your with your higher-ups do that be transparent say hey i'm ambitious i'm ready to learn i want to i want to kill it and tell them that um that that will give you the most bang for your buck because it does two things for you i'm always about list right um it'll
• 78:00 - 78:30 help you identify a path and it'll also give you hands-on experience real world immediately if you're doing it in the on your job right so if you're if you're identifying a skill and a need in your current position and you learn it and you can actually do it and put on your resume that's a killer killer combo do that alright uh super chat from victor thank you victor um he says i'm in help desk with no degree
• 78:30 - 79:00 and i got security plus in my first year of help desk i want to start down i want to start cyber security job should i go for ceh or pen test plus i would say pentest plus that's what i would say um ch maybe maybe if you can get your job to pay for it but uh here's the thing ceh they require you to like verify that you have two years two years of security experience before you can even like attempt the exam they like they check your experience
• 79:00 - 79:30 um huge barrier to entry extremely expensive pen test plus anyone can come off the street and take it and uh it's only like 340 or 50 dollars something like that and if you use my code which i forgot what it is now but if you use my link you can get 10 off on that so yeah i would do that without a doubt and uh yeah you're already in a great place i mean seriously if you're currently working in i.t
• 79:30 - 80:00 and you're on a help desk dude you're in a prime position you're also going to in a place where you could kind of screw yourself over to help desk you can get really really comfortable can't you like you get help desk is a bunch of easy wins like i miss it sometimes because you come in you don't have the burden of keeping the network up or the systems up or anything else you're supporting the network you're supporting the systems but if stuff goes down you go
• 80:00 - 80:30 uh that guy it's his fault let him deal with it you'll just take the calls so you don't have the burden also solving tickets like i used to solve like 30 40 tickets in a day solving tickets is are easy wins you feel good you're helping a person each time you answer that phone call easy when as you become a system admin or network engineer the wins become far few between because it takes so long because you deal with the tier 2 tier 3 tier 900 stuff all the time so you get comfortable
• 80:30 - 81:00 but and that's fine like if you love help desk do more power to you for me i wanted to have a large family which i currently do uh i wanted my wife she she wanted to work from her she wanted to stay home with the kids that was her goal that's what she wanted to do for her whole life that was her goal so i needed to make more money i couldn't just stay on the help desk so my goal was to support her in that so i was more ambitious but it's easy to get comfortable and it was fun but you have to decide right now i want to get off the help
• 81:00 - 81:30 desk and you can so you dedicate yourself to study time identify people around you who can help you uh work with your managers to identify a path for you to move up i let me tell you this when i was working as a network engineer um my desire always always when i needed when i needed someone else on my my my staff on my from system admin to network engineer to whatever when i needed someone i would first before looking elsewhere before before contacting a an agency or putting
• 81:30 - 82:00 the the job request out i would look at my help desk people and say huh who out of these guys these gals has fire who wants to learn because i'd much rather hire from within people i know that i can bring up the same way i was brought up i want to bring someone else up i know a lot of admins who have that same mentality so don't be afraid to ask don't be afraid to be mentored find someone to mentor you seriously anyways uh i went on a bit of a tangent there but i hope you enjoyed it
• 82:00 - 82:30 um yeah anyways victor yeah get the pintest plus [Laughter] uh super chat from nick let me see where to go there you are uh would you use try hack me to learn more to get ready for pen test plus certification uh i would dabble and try hack me i i'm still fairly new to try hack me i'm not sure how much of it actually pertains to like you're obviously gonna always benefit from
• 82:30 - 83:00 learning more penetration testing and hands-on to get ready for pen test plus but i think you'll um you'll probably get there sooner by just study following a pen test plus study program so like going with comptia stuff going with it pro tv uh that's what i would do right now but i would always supplement with try hacking me and stuff like that because it keeps you interested it keeps you keeps you doing real world things but yeah i don't know let me let me actually do a quick search so i'm not lying to you real quick um where's the search stuff
• 83:00 - 83:30 how do i search on this okay let me just type in pen test plus so nothing specific to pen test plus um well they have a brooklyn nine-nine box okay try acme is cool that's awesome uh anyways yeah it'll help you but i would still look at a book and a video course and stuff like that all right we've been going for a bit i'm
• 83:30 - 84:00 gonna take a sip here i'm getting pretty tired i'm gonna keep on going though i'm gonna keep on going here we go uh super chats from everyone you guys are killing me i'll keep going though merry christmas and by the way you're giving me money so i so appreciate it you guys are amazing uh anna louisia
• 84:00 - 84:30 yeah and luisa beautiful name i i work in medical management administration i have been studying cyber security and linux which is fantastic at 40. again never too late at 40 i still plan on making the career change thank you for the motivation your channel makes this change fun i'm so happy i can do that for you seriously um if you guys don't know my journey into youtube and why i started doing this it was because i found a guy named george amazon which by the way still has a channel and you should go follow him
• 84:30 - 85:00 when i was studying for my ccmpe and uh this is back in like 2013 i needed motivation like i and you know i i come from the youtube generation i grew up with youtube i would search like ccnp stuff all the time on on youtube and you know likely most of the time would pull up nothing but then this george amazon guy would come up and he was documenting his ccnp journey he documented his ccie journey and i'm like dude this stuff is hyping me up like i'm so motivated and i'm like huh
• 85:00 - 85:30 maybe i can do the same thing maybe i can provide that motivation for other people because i've dabbled in youtube i can do it so i just started making videos i didn't plan on doing i didn't plan on becoming a professional youtuber i just wanted to document my process and encourage others and um by the way anna louisa is so cool that you're you're doing what you're doing be sure to get involved in the community and start giving back too like it's like even if as a new person just giving back right now like documenting your process is huge so thanks again for the super
• 85:30 - 86:00 chat so cool you're doing that let's see okay uh polyfra i'm not gonna know this let's see if someone else does let's see if the chat knows so let's see if you know this currency it's uh mkd thank you i have no idea what that is but thank you i appreciate it anybody know yeah anthony ryan my ethiopia natural is
• 86:00 - 86:30 ridiculously good all right i'm gonna answer a few more here and i do have to get back to my life uh estinosco thank you for the super chat uh he says uh do you have an overview video or article of all these online network and hack certificates and all the resources to use with pro and cons of them i don't but
• 86:30 - 87:00 that is a fantastic idea um one of my goals in 2021 is to go back through my content and uh kind of curate paths you can take because i t is hecka confusing right like if someone says i want to get into cyber security it's like okay what kind where do you start which certification why do you want any blue team or red team purple team there's so many things it's like what do you actually do i want to help clear up that confusion because there is confusion
• 87:00 - 87:30 so that's my goal to be a resource for that and not to say there's not already people out there who do that you can probably google that now and find it out but i do want to be a voice for good in that realm and help people uh navigate this this crazy path uh power stock let's get power stock some love they are taking their uh security plus or network plus on sunday and they're so stressed but stress is natural um stress is good for us sometimes but don't become too stressed
• 87:30 - 88:00 uh i'm assuming you've been studying so keep that in mind um at a certain point you can only just go in and do your best so i love that you have your test scheduled it's scheduled don't change it just know that you've been studying you've done your best the worst that can happen is that you fail which sucks i fail i failed plenty of exams and it sucks that's the worst that can happen you'll go back and you'll take it again and you'll pass so just know that you might pass you might pass on sunday
• 88:00 - 88:30 and it's going to be amazing so go in only you've worked your butt off you've prepared and just go for it um don't stress about don't stress yourself out too much right now uh but good luck cannot wait to hear how you do privacy keeper thanks for the super chat so they're in the middle of the cyrus in the middle of cyber school i want to be a pen tester i want a career with a company that makes the world better my background is in law enforcement i still want to make the world better
• 88:30 - 89:00 that's that's a cool goal i mean if you can find a company that makes the world better like that that was me like working for cbt nuggets we we made the world better we help people stay encouraged and get their certifications it's always cool to have your your career line up with something good um i think any pen testing company is helping make the world a safer place like seriously if you're if you're helping a company stay safe that means you're keeping every one of the employees that company safe keeping their data safe you're keeping all the
• 89:00 - 89:30 customers that company safe so you know no company is 100 like totally warm fuzzy feeling doing ethical things in the world but in your own job you can do amazing things to help people every single day so i'll say this like yet i've worked for companies where like okay it's a financial institution their job is to make money and have their bottom line you know just be fat every single year but at the end of the day what really
• 89:30 - 90:00 matters is are you changing people's lives in your day to day are you helping people every day are you encouraging your your fellow workers your teammates are you are you helping them stay motivated are you telling them about your studies so they can be motivated are you doing your job well if you're doing your job well dude you're changing the world every day like you are you are if you come with a smile on your face if you come in make someone some coffee if you encourage them just be encouraging you're changing the world that you change that person's world right it's cliche i know it is
• 90:00 - 90:30 but if you do that you are changing the world so yeah so i i say that just to say like you may be working like people have to work you can't always choose where you work but you can choose what you do in that job that's what i would say uh thanks for super chat dude it's cool you have that goal scrapey x504 super chat my wife's gonna be so mad at me for uh doing this for so long uh i passed my
• 90:30 - 91:00 ccda last month which uh should i apply for an entry level network engineer or a mid-level what's the minimum salary for that position in houston texas so first of all congrats on ccna that's amazing i love that you're first looking for a job before looking at the next certification that's smart that's good that's what i would say to do um so should you apply for your entry level or at mid-level yes apply for both whatever you can get minimum salary so
• 91:00 - 91:30 it's hard to say if you have no experience in your ccna it really depends in houston texas junior network engineer i would say it wouldn't be crazy to make 50 to 60 1000 a year it wouldn't be crazy not unheard of um don't feel bad about going lower than that like don't be afraid of taking 45 on a help desk don't be afraid of that like don't don't be the person who's like okay i'm just
