I need some college/life advice because I feel stuck right now.
I’m about to graduate in a couple months with my Associate’s degree in IT, but I’m unsure what move to make next. Part of me wants to start my career immediately and try to break into cybersecurity since that’s what I’ve been working toward.
The other part of me feels like I’m rushing life too fast and should continue school, get my Bachelor’s, and experience the full college experience while I still can.
Another big factor is money. I don’t want to take on a lot of student debt if I don’t have to, especially if I could start working now and gain real experience instead.
I keep going back and forth because I don’t want to waste time, but I also don’t want to regret missing opportunities later. Has anyone been in a similar situation? Did you start working right away, continue school, or work while finishing school? What would you do in my position?
