Short YouTube talk (Caitlin Sarian) that debunks common misconceptions about entering cybersecurity: that it’s too late to switch careers, that coding, a college degree, or certifications are strictly required. Encourages passion, building projects to show competence, and points viewers to a free Intro to Cybersecurity course and a community (links in bio).
Here's some myths that I'm about to bust about cyber security 1. It is not too late for you to get into cybersecurity no matter how old you are. If you're completely on a different career path, if you're passionate about it, you can do it. 2. You do not need to know how to code. Yes, there are some areas of cybersecurity that you do need to know how to code, but there are a lot of other domains that you don't. If you don't know the different cybersecurity domains, feel free to check out my free Intro to Cybersecurity course in my YouTube account. 3. You do not need a college degree to get into cyber yes, sometimes a degree helps you get your foot in the door, but it is definitely not needed. You do, however, need to show that you are passionate about it and have projects, etc. To back you up. You can't just apply with nothing on your resume. 4. You do not need any type of certification to get in. Yes, again, it's another foot in the door, but it is definitely not required. And in fact a lot of companies actually pay for you to do the certification when you're already there like and follow for more tips and tricks and feel free to join my free cybersecurity community.
