but cannot transfer the knowledge. So back to square one.

I usually go offline with lot of questions than answers after surfing the net. Persons opining different certification to career paths but very few materials brings it all together. The training institute I registered with did a shoddy job, left them after a month. The facilitator knows his onions

People strutting around with cybersecurity this-this on their profiles. It wasn't intimidating when I reached out to some of them, only to realise that though they have cybersecurity certificate, they were not grounded. The internet helped little.

That experience made question my skillset. After years of trying different ventures to make ends meet from used car salesman, real estate agent, taught Scratch coding to 7-11 year olds.I stumbled on cybersecurity. Mind you, In Nigeria, cybersecurity is kind of a rave.

We won't waste time with frivolity, I don't understand why people indulge in it when telling a story. I'll go straight to my background, in some way if it resonates with your struggle in Cybersecurity then welcome aboard. I lost my job in 2017 when the organisation was going belly up.

This thread is the experience of a newbie who is still learning. I'm sharing my mistakes, and challenges so you don't have to make it when you get here. Go make new ones instead.
For context I reside in Nigeria, with a bit of ICT and consulting background.

So why cybersecurity?
