This may of been the biggest eye opening description I’ve never needed to hear. I am currently a freshmen at a small college and plan on majoring in Cyber Security. All my life I’ve loved tech and always will. The classes are amazing and I would love it as a major.
NOW, recently(within last 2 years) I’ve been thinking about how life works. Like if two business wanted to do a deal, why does it takes thousands of papers to figure it out.)
As a kid, in an argument, even with my parents, I would always come back with the same remark, “well technically this…”
when these arguments got into political and company based argument. I always knew the little grain of salt data/info that justifies something. I 100% love thinking like that, trying to predict the future trends and analyzing the past.
I honestly can say, I would love to get up on Monday morning to go to a job like that.
Besides that, lol, I do go to a small school AND want to major in Cyber Security as well. I believe I can, but maybe dual major in Cyber Security or Econ at the small school. Do you think that is worth it? My parents are also shocked about me wanting to change and keep telling me “don’t regret it.” They are the older generation They were the generation just before all these startups that became successful. They believe follow where the trend leads. and those jobs have the highest growth. But thinking about it now, eventually that job need with go down because of the exponential length of password ciphers. So it will go down, so why not go to a field that has average growth, but greatest chance of success. That’s what I need to explain but can’t.
On top of that, even if I am sorta successful, I will still be making a VERY good salary.
Also, (last time I swear) If it does get too hard, I could also minor in cyber security. And as long as it is on the resume, I can show them my skills in tech are better than what my resume says.
Experience>Education??
Anyways that’s my story, can I can some serious advice, I am very confused.
