Hey Josh, could you make an in-depth video on how to securely pass the MS program in 6 months, what would I need to do to ensure that. I heard some people even completed the Master in 3 weeks. That would be nice

Paasing the CISSP exam without the required experience can be ethically added to a resume as "CISSP Associate." 😊 Some of the DOD directives refer to this specifically.

I did the B.S. in Comp Sci at WGU and now it's worthless

Great video, I learned a lot of new things!! I’ll check out your course

Certs such as CISSP is as good as a Masters unless you plan to teach in the university. Cheers!

You have to be good at math.

Appreciate you Josh! Thank you for this.

I am about to start the masters this fall. I hope you are well. When are you coming back to Japan?

What do you think of CIAT Bachelor's in it program

What’s up Josh? I’m an IT manager who worked in a 55k square feet facility. I have my security+ and currently studying for my azure500. Would you reccomend me to go for a masters of cybersec or comp sci degree? I have a non stem major

I take it you are on the WGU payroll.

Got my masters in cyber in the old program, I was pissed as soon as they updated the curriculum/certs 😭

Do the CASP+. Thanks

Do the CASP+. Thanks

Do the CASP+. Thanks

I work as a probation officer and have no IT experience. I want to make a career change. I’m interested in the WGU Cyber Masters program but can I take this with no IT experience? I have a bachelors in criminology. I’m thinking of starting with your IT intro course, then cyber course, then the masters program. I can give myself 2 years also. Please let me know the best route. Thanks!

Good stuff. Think I should touch up on my coding for the benefit of automation. Python is definitely one of easier languages to learn since it’s like English vs c# c++ etc.

Josh are you still gonna drop that course you mentioned in the community post you deleted? Please do, your knowledge in this field is too good man

Can you put the link to that example resume in the description as noted in the video? As of this comment it is not there.

Once upon a time you didn’t have to recertify. My A+ is a lifetime cert. O took it 15 years ago. I missed getting a lifetime net+ by 2 months. I let the net+ expire, but I recently passed Security+. I wonder if that renews my Net+?

Cool!

Finishing mines in Dec 😂. I like to have it to show that I mean business about my career path

Right now I am doing a Master's degree in Cybersecurity. But at the same time I'm working on certs, I have my bachelors in IT and I got my CompTIA A+ so far. Working on my Net+, and then after my Sec+. Maybe ill try and start on CISSP after the Sec+. Not 100% sure what I should do after my Sec+. Going to try and get Sec+ before I graduate next year.

Im still trying to find a job after graduating WGU Cybersecurity bachelors. I have 2 detailed projects in a git hub too

Always appreciate your insights, @joshmadakor

How can you get cissp if you don't have the required experience? 5 years lol

What are some good cyber podcasts to listen to? Thanks Josh.

I would like to have one on one conversation with you ? I live around Seattle area

I honestly feel they should have added the CISSP and maybe another really advanced cert like the AWS Security Specialty and the Microsoft Cybersecurity certs to the degree but I guess it would have upped its difficulty too much

A bunch of the certifications in the MS program are also in the BS program so it would be cheaper the get the MS in Cyber after the BS in Cyber

can you please do a practice exams for server+ and linux+

Is this masters degree from WGU? Is this a paid sponsor?

Im a mid level Network engineer. I started the MSCIA this month. I enjoyed the material for the first class. Looking forward to taking my first cert.

yeas agree 100%. i have a dozen different certs, some high end, but i refuse to renew them. ( although i get lots of reminders from the vendors haha) its a scam! maybe if there is some sort of central PE authority where you can register your points for free or little fee i would do it, but now its more a matter of paying subscription fees to the different vendors. cert lock in!

Thanks Josh, great info.

I'm a little over half way through the MSCIA from WGU and it is a very good value. Also, keep in mind the cash value of the certification vouchers you receive when looking at the cost. You get ISC2 CC, CySA+, PenTest+, CASP+, and CISM vouchers as part of the program.

1:58, good that they removed CEH 🗑

Where is the link to the practice test? Not in the description....thanks for the information!!! Keep it up

Would you recommend getting an IT and/or cyber degree either undergrad or grad, if you already have a non STEM degree?

Would it be better to get the network engineering and security with some cybersecurity certifications

Get certificates and transfer them to Cybersecurity master degree and take additional classes to complete the degree??

Never been here this early. We appreciate you Josh

Great video...I appreciate your transparency. Let's us know its ok to change jobs and explore new opportunities

I’m 22 and I’ve been fighting to be able to enlist in the military for about 5 years, but because I had a terminal illness as a child and the hospital left a foreign object in my body from negligence, I may not be able to serve. The one job I actually have passion for, that can provide an education, a house, decent pay, opportunity for career growth, and even travel opportunities, may be out of reach forever because of things out of my control and a lack of care from the American healthcare system. I’d rather drive off a bridge than work a dead end job for 2000$ a month, blowing 1200$ on rent and 400$ on insurance for the rest of my fucking life. And these people are so confused why we don’t want to work these jobs. Almost like 60 years ago you could actually afford to live a comfortable life working at McDonalds, before corporations and companies realized they can use us like a disposable resource.

I heard lie about certification and that was enough for me. There example after example of people who got canned for lying on their resume, even when they were responsible for turning a company around.

😊Hi Josh, thanks for your help and efforts. Do you think a guy with Comptia S+, CCNP, 7 years experience in the IT field, and your course in cybersecurity is not enough to start preparing for CISSP ?😅

Um did you rate Pen tester as well ?

Josh, you used to be in software development before cybersecurity which is why I’m following you now? You’re quite the IT wizard lol very intelligent. You have a company now and train people cybersecurity etc. I wonder , is coding easier and more for introverts or is cybersecurity more for introvert/extrovert? I don’t mind to have a meeting here and there with my team but rather focus on my work at the computer screen to figure out solutions. I just don’t want to waste my time since I plan to go the WGU route eventually. Any tips would be appreciated!

still the course is expensive. it should under $50.

obviously anecdotal. But still, great info, thanks! 😮 now can you did a video on how you got those jobs 😂
