As stated in the post, I am just about to graduate and I have a lot of ideas that I am juggling on how to enter the information technologies and cyber securities fields. I am considering either going to 2 years of community college and transferring to CSU Fullerton for a B.S. in Computer Science with a concentration on cybersecurity. But I am also considering getting a security+ certification, or any other worthwhile certifications, and trying to enter the field immediately. I know that most positions require experience, but I would like to work somewhere adjacent to the field, like an IT intern, prior to have at least something on my belt so I can go into the field quicker than I would after a degree. I'm just not really sure if having a degree really increases my upwards potential by that much, since maybe it could be cheaper and easier to get certifications and experience; however, I'm not really sure on that. If there are any other, and better options that I could consider I would also appreciate it if I could hear those. I just really want to keep my options open so I can maximize my potential within the field.
