Thanks for replying, I worked hard three years and applied for numerous positions not only within cyber, but positions in general everywhere else just to see if I could find any job just to leverage my university degree in a hope that it would make me stand out of the competition. It's just HARD to find anything with this stupid degree, I can't believe a genuine British degree has almost no value to employers, every tom **** and harry is apparently "passionate" about cyber security by studying therapeutic studies, humanities and religious studies, law, accounting, psychology, criminology and of course the most powerful of all sociology. I worked hard three years with a hope of landing at least some job paying me just a little better then a job which doesn't require a degree, I never expected miracles, but a decent entry level job paying 18K plus, which doesn't necessarily have to be in IT or Cyber joke.
I have played a bit with THM and HTB, but it's all pretty much useless as no body really cares about what certs or degree I have got as at the end of the day it's all about who you know. That concept of merit and suitability for a job has been completely put aside. Should have done some trade course instead of attending a joke university course which has only depressed me more and felt bloody miserable ever since. It seems like every other person on this planet with a degree in even anthropology or even exercise science is more useful and suitable to be employed in cyber security except a cyber security degree, what a joke!!!
Spent a fair bit of money on certs so I am not interested to spend one more penny on these certs as experience and contacts help more then certs for sure.
Will be driving taxi with that part-time health care support worker job after Xmas and lockdown, a word of advice for anyone considering a cyber career "study anything literally anything for three years, have contacts and if you are not a coloured person then you are pretty much guaranteed a cyber job except a degree in cyber"
