#33 Are Cybersecurity Bootcamps a Scam? ft. Keith Coleman

Are cybersecurity bootcamps worth the hefty price tag, or are they just another overhyped shortcut to nowhere? In this episode of The Hacker’s Cache, I sit down with Keith Coleman, a seasoned cybersecurity professional with experience in pentesting, security engineering, DevSecOps, and more. We break down the true value of bootcamps, why many graduates struggle to land jobs, and what alternative paths provide a better return on investment. Keith shares his journey from IT to cybersecurity, his take on degrees vs. certifications, and why hands-on learning beats expensive bootcamps every time. If you're considering a cybersecurity bootcamp, listen to this first!
