Hello I'm 26 I have 3 years of web experience and general IT experience I have mostly interests in cyber security, software engineering and hardware.

I'm doing my masters in computer science and computer engineering at UHCL.

I want to know what I need to do next to be able to earn a role in cyber security im mostly interested in security engineering or pen testing but I understand you have to start anywhere
