Do you really need a degree to get into cybersecurity?

Hi everyone,

I'm currently studying cybersecurity on my own using platforms like TryHackMe and focusing on building practical skills.

I’d really appreciate hearing from people in the field:

How important is a bachelor's degree in cybersecurity when it comes to getting a job?

Do you think strong practical skills and certifications (like Security+ or eJPT) can be enough to start a career without a degree?

Any advice or personal experience would mean a lot. Tha

Project help

I'm working on a project: simulating a honeypot network and then pentesting it with an AI and a human, comparing the results and seeing how effectively the honeypot fooled the AI. The problem is i've never done any networking outside your basic vlan introduction in cisco packet tracer and barely have any knowledge. Where do i start? Got about 2 months to finish this thing.
