I've been doing tech support for over 5 years and I've been wanting to break out of it for a while. I graduated with a bachelors of software engineering but I never applied to a SWE role, and with my experience, entry level SWE jobs don't pay very well, and I wouldn't be a good fit in the first place. I'm thinking if I become a kubestronaut, I would demonstrate that I have the right skills for a cloud engineering role or SRE. It's also a plus because there are fewer than 300 people worldwide that hold this certification. 

Appreciate any guidance.
