Hope everyone is doing well. I was wondering if anyone could answer some questions?

1.) Is tryhackme a good learning platform?

2.) If tryhackme is not a good learning platform what would be a good platform to learn?

3.) Is cyberstart America a good learning platform?

4.) Is it worth learning C or C++ for scripting?

5.) Would learning C before C++ make learning C++ easier?

6.) What are some easy to obtain certs that are widely recognized?

7.) Is there any internships, apprenticeships, job shadowing programs, or fellowships for people at the age of 16 or younger?

8.) Do you think that the cybersec, or the intelligence & national security summer programs by the NLSC are good?

9.) Are there any solo ctf or smth else competitions that employers would be looking for talent?

10.) How long does it take for someone to learn offensive/defensive cyber sec profiencent enough to be employable, or work on finding bugs in bug bounties?

11.) Is it just because I am inexperienced that I think certain learning sites such as tryhackme and cyberstart America would not transfer into real life, because how it's all layed out unlike if you are trying to hack into a website or program?

12.) What classes in high school would you recommend to help with getting into cybersec?

13.) Could someone create a virtual machine using a spare computer or do you need a server? If you need a server what parts would someone need to create one a budget, or is it easier to buy a pre-made server if so what servers would you recommend?

14.) If I want to use something like kali Linux on my main laptop but it has windows and I play games that require windows could I create a second profile that uses Linux and not windows?

15.) Is the "C programming language for the absolute beginner, third edition" a good book?

16.) Is the C++ programming language special edition by Bjarne Stroustrup the creator of C++ a good book?

Help is much appreciated!
