Have you ever questioned the value of a college education, particularly in the STEM field? Are you a first-generation college student struggling to make the right decision? Join me, HD, in this episode of the Techtual Talk Podcast as we navigate the often-controversial topic of higher education and its benefits, drawing on my personal experience with a bachelor's degree in computer information systems and a master's in IT management.
We'll delve into the power struggle among certifications, skills, and degrees, and why a college education might still be the right choice. Discover a fascinating statistic from San Diego University revealing that 88% of cybersecurity jobs require a degree, and learn how to maximize your education for career success through related coursework, projects, and personal growth. We'll also discuss the importance of investing in yourself and your skills to attract potential employers and share my journey through college and how time flies.
In addition, we'll explore the recent security flaw in the Progress MoveIt transfer MFT solution, which could potentially affect thousands of US-based servers, and how organizations can best prepare for potential extortion and data theft. Stay tuned for invaluable job search tips, resume strategies, and how to stay up-to-date with new strategies in the ever-changing job market. Don't miss this episode as we uncover the benefits of college and how you can make the most of your higher education experience.
