Cyber Security Questions

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice please.

I'm thinking of getting into cyber security as a job career, im currently working already and want to do a career change. Ive got some fundamental IT related qualifications such as level 2 and 3 in Computing one being an A Level. also a Computer Science GCSE and other basic IT Related BTECs from School.

What is the best starter qualifications to have to land a entry role in cyber security?

Ive been looking at doing an Bachelors Degree in Cyber Security, is this worth doing and spending the money to land a job etc?

Also if anyone has any insight on the day to day tasks of being cyber security would appreciate their views on the matter

Do like the idea of Cyber Security but am open to other areas in IT but not too sure where.

Also what are peoples stance on the probability of this career and IT in general being a good long term choice with the current increase in the AI market and other compelling factors.

Looking forward to any replies.

Thank you
