No one right way to do it
“There are no solutions, only tradeoffs.” -Thomas Sowell
There’s no one right way to start your career in technology.
At every point in this process, you’re trading time, energy, and money for the chance to start or improve your career.
Some opt for helpdesk immediately. Benefit: fast. Cost: low paying ($20/h avg)
Some opt for sys admin or network engineer. Benefit: pays better than helpdesk ($30/h avg). Cost: takes longer
Some opt for a pure cybersecurity role like network security engineer. Benefit: pays the most ($90k+ annual). Cost: takes the longest.
There is no one right answer. They’re all correct. Pick the one that makes sense for you, set a mission, and DONT STOP
I shot for the moon and landed in 2019 in 5 months making $90k/y
You can do it too
Make a plan, put your head down, and get to work
We have a chance for you to be ready by January if you start today
Are you ALL IN on starting your career? Go book a call Zero to Hoodie Cybersecurity Bootcamp and let’s change your life in 2026
