[QUOTE="AguaFriaRanger, post: 3843915, member: 48527"] The best advice I can give here is that if you don't have some sort of passion for computing/networking, do NOT try to get into IT. You WILL burn out. It's just so technical, especially cybersecurity. Cybersec isn't just learning what's going on and what to do, it's CONSTANTLY learning the new threats, the new vulnerabilities, the new architecture, etc. It isn't a field where you go to school, find a job, and never open a trade publication or scholastic journal ever again. You have to be constantly learning or you will find yourself behind the curve. Also be careful going into help desk - you can make it up and out but you may be better suited to just do a little cert bootcamp and get your Sec+ if you're already tech savvy. This is all just my two bits though. [/QUOTE]
