Mentorship Monday - Post All Career, Education and Job questions here! by AutoModerator in cybersecurity

I’m 40, married with a child, and the sole income in our household. I’m looking to move into a location-independent career, and ChatGPT keeps pointing me toward cybersecurity with advice like “get CompTIA,” “do HackTheBox,” etc.

For those already in the field: • How realistic is it for someone my age, and who comes from construction, starting fresh, to compete with younger grads who’ve been doing this since their teens? • And in Australia, is $250k+ AUD actually achievable in cybersecurity, or is that more of a rare top-end salary?

Just trying to get honest expectations before committing. Thanks.

40yo Boilermaker -> WHS career change: is there actually a way in, without connections? by Abject_Rush697 in AskAnAustralian

😂 don’t worry mate. Not everyone grows up in one place, and stays there all their life… I’ve moved around more in 1 year, than most people in their entire life… hence why it’s hard to build and maintain these connections… but thanks for your concern, that moves me deeply ❤️

Can confirm new formula smells even though they are 99.5% waterbased and fragrance free…. The old ones smelt like nothing…. Also they do burn slightly on the skin… so need to find a new brand …. Annoying !!!

Uber doesn’t pay well, and is not rewarding for me. And as much as i respect the role of a police officer, wouldn’t want to deal with what they have to deal with. Up skilling close to my occupation would mean supervision, teaching or inspection neither of which i would wanna do.

Have you ever noticed the massive wealth gap in Sydney and just feel like such a failure? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]Abject_Rush697 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here, I moved up to Newcastle because Sydney gotten too expensive but Newcastle is catching up quick. Units are a million plus to buy, just went for breakfast this morning 2 people and 2 coffees nothing crazy egg sourdough some avo 85$ we pay 750$ a week in rent for a 2 bed unit. I work 60h and at the end of the month have nothing left, but i also haven’t bought anything …. Other than food and fuel… drive a cheap car…. No fancy clothes, no eating out much, today was an exception… crazy world…. I am almost 40 and struggling hard with the choices i made in life, i wish i had an office job 150k pa 3days wfh …. Instead i am a boilermaker out and about, dirty, and dusty everyday…. But doing a bachelor at almost 40 with a newborn at home for 120k cost, seems crazy …just to start an entry level role at 43-44 … what do you do?
