So this is based on my experience, and I’m not gonna tell y’all to do illegal stuff or start a business, I’m gonna present a strategy that most certainly will land you at least a 60k dollar a year job (up to 80k) at 18.
So first you have to learn the foundations of cybersecurity, you can do it with tryhackme’s pre security and cyber security 101 paths or hackthebox’s junior cybersecurity analyst path. After that, the next step is completing hackthebox’s penetration tester job role path and passing the final exam. It’s super rigorous, so by this point skills-wise you should be highly employable, but you lack credibility: That’s where the final step comes in, taking the OSCP.
it’s quite expensive, but it’s the closest thing you have to a golden ticket to enter a penetration testing role, you can take it at 16/17 if you do the process for it, and there should be nothing stopping you from being able to land AT LEAST a 60k/year role at just 18. Works better if you’re not already 18 obviously, and since at 18 you’re most likely still living with your parents, you can use this money for any business plan, investment or any shit you want to do. (If you’re already 18, maybe other methods are better, but if you’re 16-17, this one might be one of the best)
