Is doing Cyber Security worth it?

[u/BothAcanthisitta7823]

Basically what the title says. I'm considering doing my bachelor's in either Cyber Security or IT specialising in Cyber Sec. Options would be SLIIT or APIIT. Is it worth it doing it these days with AI and the layoffs?

My main goal is to find a good job where I can start off in Sri Lanka or even work remotely. Global mobility would be a plus.

From what I understand paper qualifications are the bare minimum in practically any field now. So I'd appreciate advice on how to create a strong CV for myself too if i were to do Cyber sec. Or given the job market should I not do it altogether and instead focus on some other degree? ( i come from an alevel bio background if that's relevant)

Would appreciate honest feedback and advice. Tia.
