I'm panicked
Hello everyone!
I am an 18 years old first year student currently studying IT in a University.
I'm kinda overwhelmed and doesn't know where to start learning about CyberSecurity, my goal is to be a SECURITY ENGINEER.
I heard about people saying that certificates and experience in IT fields are more important than a degree and I'm just wondering on how to start with one of those.
I am very passionate about learning and is willing to do anything to get into CyberSecurity.
This is where the problem starts for me, I am overwhelmed by the amount of resources that I need to study, so much that I don't know where to start. I am panicking because I might be running out of time and I don't want to waste my life not doing what I love the most... There's also a lot of paid courses which I can't afford yet because I'm still studying. I am just wondering how do I get started learning for free for now(preferably if there's a certificate) and maybe in the future, I get to save up money to buy courses that'll get me certificates that's needed.
