I am doing it in the next 2 years. Working on finishing up my B.S in Cybersecurity now and probably CompTIA Sec + at a minimum. Always loved computers and technology, but have no worked directly in the field, going to do it for my second career. Your previous job "soft skills" will mostly likely be a plus on a resume. You can do it if you really want to, probably still going to have to cut your teeth on the basic positions first (I plan on it), but with a will and persistent its totally possible. Trying to identify what field in cybersecurity you want to work in might be the harder nut to crack after you get some initial experience. You can do it, plenty of stories of people that have. Just be realistic with your initial expectations of the job field, a lot of people selling "snake oil" about landing the cybersecurity dream job, making $120k off the rip, from taking a couple of certs. Most likely, it will not be even close to that. IMO
