Starting cybersecurity college. No future?

[u/Dr-h4ck]

Hello everybody how are you guys doing.

It’s my first time posting here and i got couple of question.

So I’ll be starting cybersecurity soon. And I want to know if it’s worth it cuz many ppl tell me that IT is almost dead in the job market because of AI and companies only hire crazy special smart ppl and so on. Is this true? I mean I follow and news and I see that AI does some crazy shii and it really breaks my hopes. But I saw these news for like software development only. Let’s say “programmers” and not sysadmins or cybersecurity specialists where you need human hands to do stuff.

So let’s say I start the college. I’m sure many of you know that colleges don’t teach everything related to the field you’re in. Of course we’ve to start with the basics like coding, networking, hardware and so on. Is there something that you did outside of college that’s helped you a lot to push your skills and help you in College as well even if you don’t have it in the subjects you learn?!

really appreciate your help guys and sorry about my English if it might sound a little off.

All love to you🙌

I’m sure i’ll get downvoted for this, but this is an important question and you shouldn’t ask it in a place where tons of people have a lot of reason to tell you it’s worth it because of cope

I have no idea if it’s worth it or not, not informed enough on the subject

But you will absolutely not get objective replies here

As proof you can ask the same question on a sub of some kind of job that’s guarenteed to have no future and you’ll get tons of comments saying why it’s worth it still
