don’t pay for scammy bootcamps

The only community I recommend to people is Prof Messer and its only because hes free. Any bootcamp is so scammy, and all the same things can be found online. Thank you for making a video about it!

The glory days of certification forums are gone. the sites get overrun by dumps and scams and eventually shutdown because of lack of moderation. The best ever forum for networking was pushing the dynamips emulator which lead to GNS3. Everything is fragmented now.

uh that’s absolutely not true—i’ve called out bowtied cyber (pictured in the video) extensively before and i very clearly criticize two additional white men in the beginning of this video as well. this guy came across my tiktok live feed and i recognized it for what it was. sit down

straight facts. I wish I actually had credible advice on what to do instead though. One thing I'll tell people is it's definitely NOT about finding the optimal learning path. It's about extracting every ounce of knowledge from whatever paths are available.

who would you pay then thoughts on network chuck?

he is an evangelical weirdo and part of a church that thinks women shouldn’t work so he can get fucked

don't get sold the bootcamp koolaid.

Does this mean udemy?

nahh

Truth

I'd say it's the Tony Robbins business model. They all tend to be big fans of him and he's the OG of this 'masterclass' bullshit.

also what's the cheapest way to set up a home network or is there and sim software you would recommend to simulate a range of network configs and troubleshooting

Yes!!

why the focus on jeremy when mentioning "claiming"do it for a long time? had his training like 15y ago lol that is pretty long time, nah?

"real community is the one that's free" I've had so many people ask what courses. certs, etc they should start with and my answer is always "start with what is free" If you're just starting there are so many free resources and sites - You don't need to pay

Good catch. Basically another get rich quick scam. Yuck

lol, i've seen the same patern!

I love that this only becomes an issue after the big swindlers make their money. When the little guy tries to get in, there's outrage 🤣

oh the big swindlers are also on my shit list i just don’t want to get sued right now

I've always thought online courses like this likely aren't worth where weight, what else would you recommend other than academia?

Excellent job...lol...thank you
