I don't talk about my goals much, my path is a lot different than the average or typical path everyone takes, so my path is longer, but more rewarding, There's a lot people don't know about me, I'm on track though, over the last 10 years I been learning IT, or security pen testing, aka ethical hacking... That's a lot for the average person to take in lol cybersecurity is what I'm interested in, as for a career path, my path is clear and I have 10 years of hands on experience with Linux or Kali Linux more specifically, which no, they aren't the same, but sorta.. I've done Tryhackme challenges & have experience with real world scenarios, testing my own devices, networks, servers, websites etc, Wifi hacking, Android, windows & Mac OS hacking, network hacking or network analysis using bettercap & wireshark in Kali Linux etc, recon or reconnaissance, OSINT, social engineering, information gathering etc..
I will need some certifications which I'll be getting in the next 1-2 years,
#1 Google cybersecurity Certificate,
#2 Google IT Support Certificate, because my first job in IT will most likely be Help Desk before I get to work directly in red team security pen testing, than
#3 Comptia Security+
#4 Comptia Pentest+
#5 CEH - Certified Ethical Hacker
This is just my actual career that I'm passionate about that I'm working toward 5-10 years ahead, that's aside from owning a brand / business which I just officially registered as a business in Canada and have my certificate for that as well - Resilient Gang Apparel resilientgang.com
While I'm working on my career, the work I'm going to do involves driving, so I recently got my full drivers licence. I can drive on my own now and can get driving or delivery related jobs, I'll start with just Uber eats, skip the dish Instacart, maybe Amazon driver, stack my bread and invest in my business while I work on my certifications for my long term actual future career, and in the next 1-5 years lock in an IT job and slowly work my way up the ranks to red team security pen testing or ethical hacking / cybersecurity,
there are many fields and divisions of security in IT. That's my personal path in IT.
Or What I already have experience in.
I know exactly what I'm doing, I just had to build half these skills up while I was on my face! homeless! just trying to survive, but after 10 years of that, I have value, I've already worked as an advocate of Homelessness worked for several organizations around homelessness as I have lived experience, I was featured in news articles google Cory Resilient I was featured in magazines, documentaries even making several of my own documentaries after that, got my peer support certification,
I've made a couple thousand $ running an online course teaching people this stuff in real time,
I actually have hundreds of thousands of views on my tik tok, I haven't talked about this before this has all been building up behind the scenes. I'm getting closer and I'm knocking off goals so I can talk about it now. Full drivers licence ✓ Clothing Brand + registered business ✓
Online course or another business teaching people cybersecurity and Kali Linux ✓
I'm 33, by 40 I should be up. My skill will allow me to work remotely in the future so that suits my lifestyle of wanting to be mobile and travel, I've been all over Canada Vancouver Island etc seen the most beautiful places in Canada, now it's going to be Asia, Phillipines, Jamaica etc so that's why I'm working towards this all, it will give me the money and freedom to live the life I want, which is not being stuck, my 5-10 year plan is locked in. Pen tester or cybersecurity professional, IT in general is high paying and fun, but very complex work, you gotta be a special type of nerd I guess lol since I was a child I always wanted a computer and always wanted to understand how it worked, which led me down this path. You can get paid over $200,000 per year, bug bounties pay tens of thousands even millions of dollars as well. If anyone is interested hit me up, I might leave my tik Tok in the comments so you can see exactly what I do, people don't know I'm actually really intelligent, when you come from nothing your just looking for a way out, gotta do it big can't be average, didn't come from an average life,
I'm aiming high, if all fails, I've been able to still be happy and enjoy life living off $2,000 a month being homeless in a tent in nature every day on an island by a white sand beach and earn money online with my skills I've learned how to be humble and content with little, anything else is a bonus. I'm happy to be alive sober and in control of my life for the most part. Only up from here.
