Thanks for your response, but what you mean by on-teh-job? If you really mean
a job in the tech field, that sound so difficult, I had before a hardware and
software training, it helped me in the basics it is something close to A+ but
less, But still so difficult to find an available opportunity, most of
positions they ethier ask for certification or years of experience.
If you have advise so share it with me, but if this tech job is not
available so what can be the eductional step I should take as a beginner to
be able to enter the world of Information security?
