Hello! I am trying to transition to Cybersecurity --- I have worked as a field engineer (International News Channel) from 2006-2016 and I have a fair background in IT Support. I started my college education back in 2016 in the US (after being made redundant, losing my job) with focus on Cybersecurity (two year associate degree which I hope to complete by the end of this year) I'm 40 years old and concerned that I might be considered as someone passed his prime. Any advise for someone like me who is trying to get my foot in the industry (Cybersecurity)? Many of the organizations in the US require some kind of clearance (and citizenship) to work in the Cybersecurity field - is that the same case with EU countries and organization like F-Secure? I am a Filipino national, another reason why my options might seem limited in terms of work opportunity.
Thank you this IAmA segment. I appreciate any response or comments.
