High School Senior Planning Cybersecurity Career - Cloud Security to Consulting Track Feasible?

Solid roadmap! I’d skip college for now - cybersec industry cares way more about skills than degrees. But grab some helpdesk experience first. I know it sounds boring, but you’ll learn how networks actually work instead of just textbook theory. Also start contributing to open source security projects - shows future clients you’ve got initiative.

This breakdown helped me map my own path. Good luck!
