I have over a year of experience in cybersecurity from 2018-2019 before I acquired a life long disability. I lost my cybersecurity career to it.

I'm in partial remission now, but can only work part-time. Currently, I can work about two hours a day, but I'm aiming for four.

I've been working towards my Google Cybersecurity Certificate and some TryHackMe SOC Level 1 training with the understanding that there are part-time jobs in cybersecurity. I was told this by one cybersecurity recruiter and a couple AI's.

Now, I've dug a little deeper and it really looks like part-time jr cybersecurity roles are quite rare.

Cybersecurity training roles are part-time, but they don't pay enough or have enough hours for me to get off my disability benefits and live a financially secure life.

My cybersecurity skills and training are still valuable, they get me freelance AI work, but that work is by its nature very unstable.

Has the cybersecurity career door closed on me?

I have my own cybersecurity consulting business where I've helped small businesses but haven't charged. I'm considering starting a non tech business too.

I should point out that the longest running job I have had was my DoorDash delivery job. It's self employment and extremely flexible with scheduling.

I honestly have enjoyed being self employed, it's just that cybersecurity is my passion and I'd hate to be forced to say goodbye due to a health condition I had no say in having.

Thank you to anybody who spends the time reading this 💙

Could someone please recommend visually based resources to help me learn more about severe weather forecasting, reading radar, and general meteorology fundamentals?

I have most of Tim Vasquez's operational meteorology books, but I find them difficult to read even though I find them highly valuable. Also, all but one of them, the forecasting one, are in storage right now. I have a habit of reading the beginning of these books and then stopping once the material gets difficult. This isn't a problem with Tim Vasquez, it's a mismatch with my learning style.

It's not that I can't do difficult things (I'm a cybersecurity professional) , but I'm highly dependent on how the material is presented.

I do well with videos that I can watch repeatedly and with short to medium length readings that I can put in my Google Drive and underline important sections. I like small to medium traditional books over ebooks.

I like self paced free or low cost courses too.

Thank you!
