hey all,
im going to be starting online classes at Purdue Global and going to be doing a lot of online cybersecurity work and programming work. I also am into ethical hacking and do a lot of home labs for learning and enjoy doing projects on my laptop.
What recommendations do you guys have on laptops?
thanks!
Good afternoon (or night)
Im looking for some helpful advice on cybersecurity. I‘m currently a sophomore in college in my first semester in comp sci (emphasizing on cybersecurity) after transferring both school and majors (which is to explain why I’m in my first semester of comp sci and being a sophomore). However, I’ve really come to the fact that I am super motivated and interested in cybersecurity and tech and computers but super disinterested in school and grades and classes, it sucks the joy out of what I enjoy. I’ve been considering dropping out of school and pursuing cybersecurity certifications instead, and working in IT for awhile while buying exams and getting my digital certificates beefed up and begin working that path. I’m heavily researching this because dropping out of college is a big deal, but also would save me the headache of student loans vs. way cheaper certs and also not having to deal with grades and classes which I just don’t like. I am however very motivated on my own and very curious and willing when it comes to teaching myself. Any advice people can give me on this?
TLDR: I’m a sophomore who just switched into computer science with a focus on cybersecurity. I’m really motivated to learn tech on my own, but I hate the structure of school and classes—it’s killing my interest. I’m considering dropping out to pursue certifications and real IT work instead to avoid student debt and learn in a more hands-on way. Looking for advice on whether that’s a smart move.
thanks!!!!!!
