When I was a nurse in July 2012, I had a patient that saw me sitting at the nurses station trying to pick a lock (I collect old locks from buildings post-demo that are 60-70 years old or older, been picking locks since I was 10), and dude hit me with the

"you pick locks? you into hacking?"

And I was like "hacking?"

And he broke down what he did for a living, and at that time I aint know shyt about computers really besides using myspace and blackplanet back in the gap to get on some hoes. So I looked into it, talked to my personal mentor who works at IBM, and he said

"fukk it, go for it, you'd be good at it"

So in January 2013 I quit my job as a RN, sat in the crib and studied for 3 months.

Got the Linux+, Security+, and MCITP.

Got my first job at a hosting datacenter and in 2 weeks was a Senior Sysadmin running the whole place at night because literally everyone else on the night shift quit.

From there I got into both system administration to prep me for being a security consultant. Couple more jobs here and there, got my RHCSA and my RHCE after I got back from Ferguson in September 2014.

Got my CISSP in Jan of 2015 and been working for global audit firm as a supervisor for a year.

I be out here trying to tell brehs, this hacking shyt easy. IT shyt easy, especially for black men who used to struggling and having to come up with some slick creative shyt to make ends meet. That same problem solving skill you use in security, you'll find more holes than the average cac that aint never had to think about how to get away with some grimey shyt. All this shyt is pretty straightforward to me. And the industry has had a negative unemployment rate for like 4 years now, and it keeps growing. It was like -8% in 2013 and now -14% in 2016.

Networking bro. Invest more time into people and less into asking for a job. If them white folks like you and think you're dope, you'll get job offers rolling in off the strength of being cool. They just need to know whether you are
a) capable of being taught
b) actually know what you say you know and
c) admit not knowing what you know you don't
d) being laid back

That will get you much further than being the smartest in the room, especially at this point (or any point) in your career.

One more class left, class final on Saturday, cram like crazy the first week in February and then try to take the test on the 6th. It's only 110 questions, 80 national and 30 state related. The good part is, if you fail the national and pass the state, you only have to re-take the national portion and vice versa. Once that's done I can chill because I have an entire year to affiliate with a broker
