People underestimate the power of the internet and how accessible information is nowadays.
Because of Google, I've been able to achieve more than specialists in parts of this industry overnight.
The information is already out there, you just have to learn how to apply it.

Hands-on experience beats everything in the cybersecurity industry.
If you're offered a job that may not seem like your ideal role:
Consider taking it away.
Gaining that initial experience can make it easier to pivot around.

Do you consider the "freemium" model to be free?
I ask this because a lot of businesses will use this model to claim, that they are in fact a free service.
@danielmakelley
Anyone with an Internet connection can get into cybersecurity with nothing but a laptop:
@rootme_org is free.

@OverTheWireCTF is free.
The resources are already out there.

You don't need someone that's highly regarded in cybersecurity to help you.
Instead, speak with someone who is a few steps ahead of you.
This is true for any profession.

"How do I get started in cybersecurity?"
It's quite simple, you start by starting.
- Advice is not starting.
- Planning is not starting.
- Information is not starting.
None of these things are starting.
The only way you can learn how to do something, is by doing it.
