Hi everyone! I need some help. I’m in my mid-thirties, and I had a growing career that, since covid, has gotten so flaky I can’t properly provide for my family anymore. I have always been interested in tech, and would like to start a career but I’m not sure how to.

Can anyone in the field give me some advice? I don’t have much college experience, only did 1 year 17/18 years ago. Looks like I need some sort of college degree, which I’m fine with.

I also saw some online “bootcamp” things… are they good? I would like to do something where I was helping companies be protected from hackers and work from home as much as possible. White hat hacker type of thing… if that’s real!

Thank you everyone!

    I knew of more than a few that started as a grunt at an MSP (managed services provider) and soaked up all they could and kept getting promoted or moved to other MSPs. They’re great for learning hands on and quickly. Or go get a diploma or something.
