Cybersecurity
Hi everyone,
I’ve been looking into learning cybersecurity, and I wanted to ask if you think it’s still worth pursuing in 2026, 2027, and beyond.
I’m currently learning on my own and have some basic programming knowledge. I know it’s very difficult to land a cybersecurity job without prior experience in software development or IT in general, and I understand that’s common advice.
My main question is: despite that, do you think cybersecurity is still a good career field over the next few years? How do you see the job market?
Also, would you recommend going to a college or university, or continuing to learn on my own through online courses, certifications, hands-on labs, and building a portfolio?
I’m genuinely interested in cybersecurity. It’s not just about making money—I want a better career with long-term opportunities. I’d really appreciate your thoughts and advice. Thanks!
