I have not started my computer heavy classes yet. Probably will in the next semester. I am going for a degree in cybersecurity a career change at almost 50 years old. I watch your videos because you have been where I am going to be. The age doesn’t matter. Your experience is in a different area than mine is.

A lot of times as students I feel like we overlook the learning aspect like you said, i work part time and I’m in the band so sometimes all I care about is getting the work done because I don’t have time to learn it I have so much other school work and it’s so easy to cheat now. These days we have prioritized our grades over actually learning and understanding the content which is not good for the longterm

I 100% agree with you on this statement. I felt this pressure all the time in my studies. Cheating is so easy nowadays. It's a temporary solution to a long term problem. If you do not know how to learn, then you are setting yourself up for failure.

I swear some professors are out to get you. I'm current a Comp sci major with a minor in cyber security, and I'm working on getting sec+ and hack the box certs. A linear algebra class is mandatory for my major but I really only need a surface understand. Yet this professor has decided that his class will be teaching me "life lessons" about "the real world" so if I don't dedicated at least 10+ hours outside of class every week I will fail.

@@Tracker5111 This is nothing about shortcuts or taking the "easy" way out. This is about a professor who feels like it's his job to weed out the "weak". I know this class was going to be hard, and it should as these concepts are hard and to fully understand them takes time and hard work. But he has decided that it doesn't matter that I have other class and other responsibilities like most students and eat 4-5x the amount of time out of class because he refuses to do any problem work in class until quiz/exam day. He does not respect any of the student's time.

Just a small advice for new student: while you are studying for you degree try to either work as part time in anything related to IT or try to get some entry -level (hand-on)certificate in cyber security.... if you cant do it then at least play CTF and document everything (write bog-videos) and add it to your portfolio

Raytheon offered 3 of our team members $100,000 sec engineer positions to go full time work and part time school. And IBM offered the rest of our team $95,000 to join their X-Force team in ATL GA. It was an amazing experience. I recommend everyone take part in it!

I agree with you 100% in the aspect of the learner's perspective because nowadays we just want to get the work done. Some students probably have a class once a week and yeah, you have one week (plenty of time) to get the homework done but that's all. We should sit down and study the material. Like you said, we just want to get a good grade but at the end what matters is what you know and no your grades because a company hires you because of what YOU know. You can have good grades but if you don't know how to implement what you have learned it's like having nothing.

I'm in a Cyber Intelligence program and a lot of the major specific courses look like yours with some Business classes mixed in. Took Computer Forensics last semester and currently taking Information Assurance & Security which sounds like it'll be my favorite course so far. One more thing I can recommend to others is to use every resource your university offers whether that's organizations, career fairs, or getting recommendation letters from professors with field experience. Sometimes you might not feel the benefit of putting in that extra effort immediately but you'll value it when you look back.

Curious about the abundance of individuals online offering free game and the resources guiding others on this path. If this career field offers high-paying positions in high demand, why are so many helping others reach it? While they claim to need more talent, it's natural to question their motivations. People usually don't help without a reason. Is selling a dream more profitable than the profession itself? I don't know; I'd appreciate some insight. What am I missing?

Hey! Totally understand your concerns, I feel the same as a fresh college graduate. The best advice I have received is to work on your network. Being at WWT already has a huge advantage!! Especially since WWT is all about accelerating your career path and goals. Reach out to the security teams (internal and customer-facing), see if there are any openings upcoming. I have a friend who interned with me this summer and is doing a part-time internship with WWT, he is a junior currently, he will walk right into a full-time position out of college. They always have opportunities for you to grow. I would highly suggest leveraging WWT in your situation, you are already ahead of the game. Other activities I would suggest include some side projects (cybercademy.org/project-ideas) and getting involved in your local community. Hope this helps!

Certifications, certifications, certifications. You DO NOT have to go to a full-time college to get into cyber security. Research certifications, and if you wanna go for those without having to do all the added bloat colleges will throw on for added cost? Just go for your certifications. At the end of the day, they are what employers are going to look at. "Okay, you went to college. What certifications did specialize in?" I am not meaning to belittle the college experience. I did it (Went through employer program). I am more trying to get the message our there that you do not have to spend all this money to get into the field.

Whilst the now "old" troupe of "The degree won't get you the job" is techincally correct, it's not the whole story. The degree will get you the job /IF/ they don't have to train you, that's what they are looking at. "They are fresh out of uni, how much money are we going to spend training them?" which is a catch 22 as uni says it's the employer's job to train you and the employer says it's uni's job. This makes it your job and unless you really enjoy it as a hobby it's difficult because there is no motivation to work on it past uni studies. The even older "You can't get a job without experience and you can't get experience without a job" paradox. Which funny enough there are only 2 professions that get around this, Doctors and Lawyers, as they are the only 2 professions that recieve job training in uni in the US. Basically if you can make your hiring process as cheap as possible (Hiring process, not salary) then you'll get the job.

Any opinions on choosing the more specialized degree of cybersecurity over a computer science degree?
@collinsinfosec
@collinsinfosec 2 жыл бұрын
I chose cybersecurity over computer science because the curriculum had a computer networking base. It depends on what interests you more. I think computer science holds more overall credit than a security degree because curriculums are more "uniform" over cybersecurity degrees (where every degree is different depending on the college). However, if you want to directly get into security out of college, a security degree will likely set you in a better direction. That's not to say you can't get into cyber without a cybersecurity degree. It ultimately depends on your portfolio.

Degree is pointless. I have one and by the time you graduate, you are already years behind industry. Just like he mentioned, you have all the general studies "fluff/crap" which is a pointless waste of time unless you are the university, who can charge you more in tuition and waste two years of your life.

Hi Grant, i have the dillema of choosing a very expensive Cybersecurity degree or studying another normal priced Computer science related degree, would you recommend taking the Security degree anyway?

Hi RRsmb, good question. Here's my 'two cents.' I always try to look at the opportunity cost of what you are pursuing. If the security degree is reputable and you can receive a position out of university, then it can be worth it obviously. However, going into a substantial amount of student debt is not a good idea. I always advise on going to university for cheap and graduating on-time or before if possible. Would it be worth going into the amount of debt for the degree? Calculate how long it would take to pay off the debt based off of the average entry-level cybersecurity salary. If it's a substantial amount of time, I think you would be better off pursuing the computer science degree. Especially if you are indifferent on the subjects in terms of interest level. You can always pursue side-projects, certifications, and grow your network. You will just have to make a real effort to do those things if you do pursue the computer science degree, but it's entirely possible. I am not a financial advisor, so take my advice with accordingly.
