From High School to Cyber Ninja—For Free (Almost)!

This blog-style Cyber Ninja training plan by Carrie Roberts presents a step-by-step, low-cost pathway into cybersecurity: foundational learning (how computers and the internet work), ~40 hours of Professor Messer courses for CompTIA fundamentals, ~380 hours of TryHackMe hands-on labs, and language/tool training (HTML, JavaScript, SQL, Python, PowerShell, Bash, Git). It recommends using Sophia Learning to transfer general-education credits and Western Governors University to fast-track a BS in Cybersecurity with 15 industry certifications, estimating completion in about two years for under $10,000, and includes links to community channels and additional personal resources.
