Hello,

I am a 24/M from LCOL area. With a degree in Business Management ( wanted to get something because I was unsure what I really wanted). I was very motivated in school and got pretty decent grades ( 3.8) so the physical determination would be there.

Very beginner question here but would you all recommend a 12 week course for Cybersecurity ? The CompTIA Security+ would be the final result.

I genuinely am just trying to do something to do with my life and not sure where to go. I’m not sure I really like working to be honest. So I am thinking I may want to get into something where I can atleast be useful and make a fair amount of money.

To be realistic with myself I am wanting to go into an option where I can either WFH, work for a government organization, have a work/life balance, and/or make around 60-90 ( which is below market rate from what I have gathered). Granted I know all of the above is likely not plausible but if I can put my hand into a bucket I would prefer some of those aspects.

My only issue with the physical course I am looking at is I am in a Full time job with benefits ( making roughly 36K a year but still).
