I would encourage you to make a solid plan first. Then, if needed, get a second job to help cover expenses until you get your income back up. But a plan is a must.

loved the interview! I came here for Lalo, I'm definitely staying for the bearded dad! I'm fortunate to have started in IT from the beginning and didn't have to go through working in construction. I'd love to go through your video history and looking through what gems I might find there. always like learning something new. thanks for the interesting insight into your beginnings and for the chance to listen to Lalo. always like listening to that voice.

Do you think that it's possible to become an expert and land a really good job from scratch for a 25/26 years old person in IT/cyber-security? Let's say within 3-5 years

Yup. I started at 24 years old, and it took me about 4 years to get where I wanted to be job-wise.

@TheBeardedITDad how did you landed your desk job? Seems that even a desk job they want you to be almost a engineer.

Awesome. Can I ask what was your first tech job? The ones I have found are AV related. Is that a good place to start? I would love to be a Director like you one day. @@TheBeardedITDad

Is there a difference between passionate people that want to get into this industry versus a person who wants to change careers and better provide for the family? I’m hoping to one day my wife to be a stay at home mom and let me bring in the income
