How do you typically type on your iOS/Android phone keyboard?

Please boost after voting. Think of it like an "I Voted" sticker signaling to others that you participated in a democratic process. #poll

I’m just here to try to reach the geeky kids, maybe LGBTQIA, maybe alt, maybe on the spectrum, maybe just a little weird - and tell them that you can be 40 and have a Star Wars living room, and you can decide to not have kids and still have a life full of meaningful relationships and not regret it at all, and you can be a gamer and learn work skills from it, and you can be single but still do everything and travel the planet, you can be covered in tattoos and piercings and still be a successful business leader & public speaker, you can know trans rights are human rights and still be retired from the military, you can do whatever you want to as long as you show up every day and put in the work and put up a good fight - don’t let the people around you, society, your family, crappy friends, lousy spouses, what “they” told you, or the entropy of it all drag you down. Life can be really unfair, but learn your own personal battles, find your own family, and find meaning in the goofy world.

@dark_ma773r

This is a pretty great list! Honestly, if anything it is a good bit more than necessary. For example, most cyber curriculum I've seen tend to gloss over Windows fundamentals, because it's simply not an in-demand skill in security. Linux is well over 80% of all server systems and among security tools it's even higher than that.

Net+ and Sec+ are a great start for someone new to the industry. Linux+ is helpful but not strictly necessary

Among my students, I have consistently seen the hardest part of the job search is getting the interview. Once you get a technical interview your knowledge can take you the rest of the way. Once your son is ready to start looking for a position, do some research into Applicant Tracking Systems and how to take advantage of them to get your application in front of a recruiter.

It makes a huge difference, use the algorithm to your advantage!

@nabdn
Thanks for your response. I will adjust accordingly and get him pointed in the right direction.

My son wants to get into Cybersecurity and I am trying to come up with a training plan that can help prepare him for an entry level job. Here is what I came up with. Let me know if yall have other suggestions or if I am on the right track here.

1. Networking Essentials/Fundamentals - Net+
2. Windows OS Fundamentals
3. Linux OS Fundamentals
4. Network Security - GA Tech free course on Udacity - udacity.com/course/network-sec
5. SOC Core Skills - antisyphontraining.com/soc-cor
6. Security +

@Viss @da_667 I am sure for enough money Lockheed Martin would make one for you.

@da_667 , It looks gnarly but was designed to REDUCE collateral damage.
