career

The year is 2025 (or it's about to be). That's a fake year. That's a year that should only exist on moonbases and undersea colonies. Frankly it's offensive that it's 2025 and the only science fiction dream that came true was a plutocracy killing the planet.

Oh, and hacking is a job you can have.

Well, maybe.

Recently on a stream, I was asked whether I thought someone should get a degree in cybersecurity, or straight computer science if they were interested in a career in tech. This question is both nuanced and critical, so I felt it deserved more than an off-the-cuff attempt live on air. I don't pretend to have the answer that makes sense for everyone, but I would like to provide a few points to consider for all who might be facing this exact question.
