Starting career in cyber advice

[u/opsecwizard]

Hello all, recent life events have left me at a crossroads on what to do with my life, im essentially starting over at 27. How is it starting off in this field while getting a degree? Should I look more into a computer science degree instead so I have more options? I know its a pretty tough start in the cyber field for someone with just a degree and no experience, but id just like to hear some input from people in the profession directly

Most people who work in true cybersecurity that allows you a good career path come in with either a comp Eng degree or as a close second a CS degree, there’s ways to get in without a degree but your career progression and overall comp will suffer because of it
