RE: In a Day of a Hacker (A Penetration Tester, Security Researcher, The Specialist) - What it's like to be one?

It really depends where you are right now @masaa and where you want to get to.
I don't have CEH and I would not say it's worth it, especially if you'd have to invest your own money.

Offensive Security Certificates are considered really good and will get you through many doors, especially OSCP.
Though for me personally Inrastructure penetration testing is not that exciting. It's not my expertise and it's not something I want to focus on right now so that one is not really for me either. But it might be great for you.

Otherwise, getting a Junior position is the best bet as often they should train you.
Where do you live right now? And do you consier a career in Security?
