What's up with the push to get kids into cybersecurity in recent years? I'm seeing more people trying to get into the field today than there are currently in the field. Do they not see just how ridiculously small the job market is for cybersecurity? It's not like you can get an entry-level position performing braindead log analysis for Cisco, that shit's all automated now. You have to possess actual ability (no, your Master's Degree is not proof of ability), have the money and prior industry experience to take license exams that cost thousands per ticket, and have actual connections at a state-level university to get past the AI resume filters. I've seen dozens graduate this year and last with shitter degrees from various schools, only for them to be surprised when they enter the real world and discover that nobody's hiring sinecures for ??? ... I've seen these college cybersecurity courses and the students they produce - they are DOGSHIT. I wouldn't trust these graduates to harden my home network without fucking it up. I would be okay with all of this if I didn't have to witness these underachievers flooding my technical clubs for "connections," lying about their accomplishments and technical knowledge in an attempt to save face Indian izzat style. When questioned, as typically happens in a conversation, the façade collapses completely, and they default to a pseudo-ascetic desire to "learn and experiment." They obviously have no projects being developed in their free time. Susan the zoomer is only doing this to make their mummy and daddy happy.
