Cybersecurity degree students, did your degree actually make a difference in this job market?
I’ve been working on my degree in cybersecurity but with this job market going on, I’ve heard of people with masters degrees not even getting a job. I’m working on my BSCIA but in the end I feel like it’s just another piece of paper that’s going to hang up on the wall and not do anything in this job market today. I have IT experience but there was a saying I heard in the industry: "certifications are good, a degree is better, but experience outshines it all."
I wanted to ask this question to see whether their degree actually helped them land a direct job in cybersecurity. My experience ranges from being a printer tech to sysadmin work.
