But, when hobbyists decide to turn their IT or cyber passion into a career, what methods do they use? Here's a quick list to consider:
- Consuming good, relevant content is a huge part of their lives - they read, watch and absorb a fair amount of information on a daily basis.
- Self-study is another piece of the puzzle, so to speak - Many of them take courses on Cybrary, of course!
- Self-motivation keeps them, well, motivated - They're driven internally to solve problems and make contributions to the industry and the people it serves.
- They make time for their passion - Like all good things, converting hobbies into careers takes time.
- They keep try and try again - If they can't master a topic right away, they keep at it (or sometimes move on). They understand that persistence is priceless.
- They join online and offline communities - They know the real value in spending time with like-minded people.
