I am a veteran with my BS in Cybersec, Sec+, and two weeks into my Masters. I have been applying to jobs for a month (thats nothing), but pretty much every application has been rejected. After reading on reddit, I am honestly more discouraged than ever. I feel lied to, 3 years ago I was told this was one of the best careers to get into, and was a no brainer as I have been a hobbyist for about 14 years. I truly feel I should have went and continued in the electrical field or similar which is what I did in the military. I absolutely hate the thought that if I were to be laid off in this field, it may take a year to find another job. I’m thinking about stopping the Masters because I seriously think it may be pointless and actually a waste of my time.
