Cybersecurity as a base IT field is retarded. I dont give a shit what some stooge tells me is best practice if he barely understands the infrastructure he's looking after. You go into enterprise IT at any other point then transition into security later once you can actually talk the same language.
Want to get a degree in Cybersecurity

Jack Bailey
Do it if you find it interesting but you need to git gud at it and not be a typical jeet, but that's the same with any tech job.
Chase Turner
isn't accounting easy to be gobbled up by saas platforms
Noah Richardson
DON'T GO INTO ACCOUNTING
Do get CS or related and then move into ERP/CRM development or maintenance, you will have accountants kissing your feet.
Juan Bell
accounting isn't going anywhere.
Justin Johnson
Prepare to work for an MSP peddling security solutions that open more holes than they solve.
Ah yes, Java based management server with an SQL database backend that requires "agents" on everything it manages.
And every single component is more insecure than all the rest of the IT infrastructure in an org.
Liam Myers
I live in USA.
I really want to do Cybersecurity, yet I fear I'll have a tough time finding a job, since I'll need to do a lot of shit from projects and passing Comp+ tests to even get viewed.
Accounting itself is a boring ass job to me, yet it's still in demand and I could find work quicker. I just hope I can find remote jobs with accounting because I don't like traveling
Xavier Johnson
I think a better way would be to get a CS degree or that new fangled CSEE shit. Then take cyber security electives and pivot into hacking/computer forensics/malware stuff.
Christian Richardson
No, she's not right at all.
Accounting is one of the most easily automated fields, it's not future proof at all. It's already happening with far fewer accountants being needed per capita today due to software that makes keeping your own books easy. I own a company and I don't have an accountant.
Cybersecurity, on the other hand, will only get more and more relevant as society is more and more digitized. Where other professions would be lost to automation, automation only increases demand for cybersecurity because now those automatic systems need to be protected digitally.
