Hello, I’m rearing near the end of my bachelors in cybersecurity and although I love networking and security, I find myself lost for where to go. I know I have valuable skills but my job market is full of grime. I’d rather work of geek squad turning off and on computers than find myself working for some crypto bro or god forbid the government. Half my courses were just putting me in the chair watching my teacher sloppy toppy AWS, Open AI or Cisco and I fear my education is railroading me into working for the institutions I’m opposed to. I want to use my degree justly. I still have time before I graduate and am looking for direction that wont seppuku my morals. Any and all advice is helpful.
Current situation notwithstanding, government work is generally pretty great. You don’t have to work for a three-letter intelligence org to do work in cyber security. I’m at a research lab that does nature shit, but cyber security is still important and we have a whole branch dedicated to just that. All I’m saying is don’t limit yourself.
