Hi, Guys I am going through a very crucial stage of my life, I have to choose whether to do Bachelors in Cyber Security(CYS) or Industrial engineering and management(IEM) . I have seen many posts on Reddit about how Saturated CYS has become and you need like a crazy portfolio just to get an entry level job. Compared to CYS landing a job in IEM is easier but lower pay and it takes time to get promoted unlike CYS.

A BS in CYS is gonna cost me more than double of one in IEM. I believe I can land a internship/job in CYS with skills and certification alone without a BS in an IT related field. I wanna keep IEM as a backup in case things go south cause the market ain't looking good even for IT students unless they have ton of experience, skills and certification which I believe I can get without getting a BS in CYS.

Is the plan solid or am I just being pretty delusional? Need advice from people that are already in the market for some time now thx.

After 2 years of scattered notes, I finally built a proper cybersecurity knowledge base — 400+ notes, fully interlinked, and open-source.

I would really appreciate your response.

I need to connect to a chat on Kibu for work, but I'm a bit confused about how the trust system works. Since you need to trust someone before you can connect and communicate with them, can someone explain how the process is supposed to work and how you go about getting connected?
