Should I do it? Should I go for HVAC? or continue doing my cybersecurity

What is your cyber security certificate? Is it a course through a college or is it some self learning thing?

HVAC. Those guys make a fucking mint. Do it dude.

Absolutely wrecked.

I hate these half baked cynics who only have negative views of the world because they have never had to deal with not having everything handed straight to them.

HVAC 100%. The entire IT world is flooded. I'd only recommend an IT job if you were getting a bachelor's from a well respected University like Berkeley or Stanford or something.

I've heard good things about the hvac and electrician trades. commercial work recommended over residential.

But also, some things you should probably consider:

how close are you to finishing your certificate program?
would you prefer a career where you sit at your desk all day, or travel around the city and work with your hands?
would you prefer a career thats more focused on lifelong, self motivated learning with relatively rapidly changing technology, or a career with relatively slowly changing technology, where after a sufficient amount of training and experience, work starts to become routine?

I was thinking about doing both of those for a while, but I decided against boh of them. Now I'm working at Wal-mart, but in the future I want to be a foreign language teacher. I could even teach people online, which would be cool.

But I'd recommend cybersecurity if you really think you can do it. First of all, I think that cybersecurity professionals make more than HVAC technicians, although I might be wrong. Also, demand for cybersecurity professionals is relatively constant year-round, while the demand for HVAC technicians is seasonal.

WTF would someone with 10 years experience in IT suddenly switch careers?

HVAC definitely. IT is saturated with numales and pajeets.

List the classes you're taking right now. I want to know what a dedicated cybersecurity program looks like.

Because working in IT really starts to suck really fucking bad after a while. The burnout rate for IT professionals is sky high.

IT is not what it used to be. Between outsourcing, automation and a never-ending flood of newbies willing to work for peanuts, the competition has been going up while the pays been going down.

I mean, after a decade of it, you're probably well into six figures

If they were a developer or management yes, if it was a decade of network admin or help desk (shitty jobs with matching pay), not likely.

Yep. There's massive competition and you need to constantly keep up with the new standards and the latest meme software etc.
That's not a problem while you're young and excited, but it's a true torture when you mature enough not to care about details. It also means that you have no competitive advantage over younger people who know the new stuff better than you.

Hahahahahaha!!!!! In my dreams. It's 2017 not 1999. Ten years in IT don't mean shit anymore.

HVAC is pretty legit, know 3 different guys that have made a good career out of it after dropping out of college.

Cyber security everything

Question, with Cybersecurity and everything it, do you need to know all facets of it? Like you need to know about programming or development to work Cybersecurity or other areas

>>37674715

Masters degree I believe.
