I’m researching why so many people get stuck trying to build a cybersecurity career — what’s the biggest blocker for you?
I’ve been digging into why cybersecurity career paths feel so confusing for beginners, and one pattern keeps showing up: people are not necessarily lacking motivation — they’re lacking clarity.
I’m trying to understand this problem better from the learner’s side, so I’d love to ask three questions:
- What was the most confusing part when you first tried to break into cybersecurity?
- What kind of guidance or tool would have saved you the most time early on?
- If you could fix one thing about the cybersecurity career path, what would it be?
I’m asking because I’m working on a project focused on making career direction clearer, and I want to make sure I’m solving the real problem, not just the obvious one.
I’d really appreciate honest answers — even short ones.
