Hi everyone! I need some help. I'm in my mid-thirties, and I had a growing career that, since covid, has gotten so flaky I can't properly provide for my family anymore. I have always been interested in tech, and would like to start a career but I'm not sure how to.
Can anyone in the field give me some advice? I don't have much college experience, only did 1 year 17/18 years ago. Looks like I need some sort of college degree, which I'm fine with.
I also saw some online "bootcamp" things… are they good? I would like to do something where I was helping companies be protected from hackers and work from home as much as possible. White hat hacker type of thing… if that's real!
Thank you everyone!
If you want to have a taste of the basics you should check out the OWASP juice shop, basically a game-ified insecure web application to poke holes into. It has tutorials, an achievement system and the different challenges all have a difficulty rating.
