After 15 years as a distiller/whiskey maker, I’m ready for a complete career change. I was thinking about taking some of the cybersecurity courses through Cisco and Google but I’m also seeing that there maybe a job shortage. Is this going to be a waste of my time?

It sounds like your head is in the right place for sure. There are a handful of ways to get started, some people do bootcamps, these are good if you need structure but they are super pricey. Some people self study which is always good, and some people luck/interview into a truly entry level position and claw your way up. I did the last one, but again, when I started they were begging people to join the IT field. Best of luck to you!

Hmmmm I never even considered that someone might take me on with zero experience. I’ll have to look into that. Well, It seems I have some research to do. Thanks again.
