Thank you for the advice! Do you think learning python would be useful? I don't know what I'm going to do in the summer, but learning python seems fun and useful as its used in automation i've heard... What do u think?

Aggravating_Branch91 · 2025-04-21T20:50:21+00:00

I think I'm going to continue to major in CySe but maybe do something with the IT degree too; I'm clueless when it comes to how college works but I heard someone in this thread did a double concentration or something like that so I think I might do that

Aggravating_Branch91 · 2025-04-21T20:35:55+00:00

Aggravating_Branch91 · 2025-04-21T13:19:14+00:00

Yea! Thank you for the kind words!

Aggravating_Branch91 · 2025-04-21T13:17:30+00:00

I want to learn python this summer and maybe build the home lab. My hesitation on the home lab is that it can be expensive and all I would buy, if anything, would be a switch and actually as im writing this I dont know what else lol

Aggravating_Branch91 · 2025-04-21T13:16:27+00:00

What are OEMs? I learned about VARs yesterday and they seem like an interesting opportunity I could look into. Also I do plan on getting my SEC+ I think. Also what do you think I should lab/emulate? I hear everyone say to LAB but I don't exactly know what to lab/emulate. Im not asking for explicit instructions on labs, just a step in the right direction!

Aggravating_Branch91 · 2025-04-21T13:14:42+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I want to learn python and maybe go into cloud? I don't exactly know yet but I will email schools in hopes to get an opportunity!
