I recently decided to go back to school and get a job in the tech industry. I’m looking at cyber security but I’m not looked into that decision.

  1. What degree would you recommend someone to pursue?

  2. What field would you recommend after graduating?

  3. What would you tell someone to avoid at all cost?

    How does one find one of these 130k+ jobs without having the parasitic relationship that seems to be necessary to acquire it?

        Oh whoops, I have about 10 years of industry experience with a cs degree. I literally just don’t know how to job search because I was fortunate enough to get hired into my college co-op job. I want the blessed 6 digit salary but I can’t get a call back. It seems like the only way forward is through recruiters who are going to skim more money than moving is worth.

        But maybe I’m just too comfortable here. Maybe I just don’t actually want to leave badly enough. Idk (I seem to be rambling at you to process my own thoughts, my apologies if this is annoying).
