Forget whatever skills they have (they don't), the main issue with the nonsensical argument about employing yahoo boys as ethical hackers is the fact that they're criminals. They should be hunted down and punished. On top of that, in any honest business, cybersecurity or…

When armed robbers attack your neighborhood, mind your business. When SARS extorts someone close to you, mind your business. The next time you witness a theft in your area, mind your business.
The limit of minding your business reaches when something illegal or evil is involved.

It's not that they didn't "believe" him. They just want to extort by all means. Even if he's not a doctor, that one no mean say make them violate him rights
Reminder that you should not lose focus. If you catch yourself making excuses, no gree! If you really want to do cybersecurity (or tech in general), you have to prioritise it in your life. Keep making excuses, before you know it, it's 2025 and you'll say "it's this year" again

If people look up to you, you have a responsibility to make sure your advice isn't counterproductive. Lots of people are overwhelmed and confused. For starters, there's no single path to cybersecurity. Everybody is different.

Don't see the journey as only a means to an end. Try to enjoy the journey itself.

I see newbies reaching out, but starting with an apology. There's nothing to apologize for. Most are willing to answer your questions, so just introduce yourself, why you're reaching out and get to it. Not everyone will reply due to time or whatever, but that shouldn't stop you!
Congratulations to all the newly accepted

interns! You were selected because the Internship Team believe in your potential to succeed in the internship. Now it's time to prove them right and make us all proud! 🎉🎉🎉
Don't let your limitations be a barrier to you starting your cybersecurity journey. Start where you are.
If you don't have a laptop, learn with your phone. I know people that learn to code using just a phone. Take the power (however little) of what you have to its full limits!
CyBlack interns for the January cohort are rounding up the internship. They have grown massively within these few months and I can't wait to see where they go next!

I'm not saying you should stress yourself to death o. All I'm saying is, be consistent. If you really want this, it has to be a major part of your life. You can't half-ass it and expect to win.

Every once in a while, the BS that fraudsters and thieves do more to "help" people get into their thievery than people in tech will find its way into the TL. There are many issues with this nonsense argument:
