#69 Why He Left a Safe Job to Hack Companies for a Living ft. Jim Schultz
Description
In this episode of The Hacker’s Cache, Kyser Clark sits down with Jim Schultz, an OSCP-certified penetration tester, cybersecurity instructor, and consultant with over 15 years of experience. Jim shares his journey from taking apart his first family computer in the 90s to teaching hundreds of students and returning full-time to the world of ethical hacking and security consulting. They discuss how writing skills can make or break a pentester, what academia gets right (and wrong) about cybersecurity education, and why networking and mentorship are crucial for breaking into the field. If you’re pursuing the OSCP, CPTS, or a cybersecurity career, this episode is packed with practical advice and real-world insight.
