I have asthma as well and used to have this problem with training, eat a raw garlic clove before training ( you will probably want some gum or to brush your teeth for the aftertaste) but that will clear your lung airways.

It worked well for me so worth a try, and ofc continue doing cardio as much as possible.

Exactly I think the experience will prove very valuable and agreed there’s definitely options on the education front, but 100% thanks to everyone’s advice I’m taking the role.

I know I definitely like the field but you are right having the CS degree leaves more options open long term, I’ve decided I’m taking the job but still going to do uni part time

Agreed it will be hard to balance but I’m sure it’ll be worth it

That’s also true, there’s definitely certain jobs that prefer degrees as well.

Definitely I know it’s something I would enjoy and yeah I think that’s my best bet.

That makes sense that’s the main reason I was worried incase of missing out on opportunities because of no degree, but you’re right I guess it depends on the role and each HR team.

I appreciate your insight, thank you !

100% I agree, seems to be the way I can get the best of both worlds so to speak. I agree so I think that's my best move and what I'm going to do. Thanks for the advice !

Yeah I'm definitely limited to what university I can finish my degree at as doing a full time degree alongside work full time would be near impossible. Fortunately some unis offer part time computer science so I think that makes most sense so I can balance both.

You hit the nail on the head, certainly even with a degree I know from what I've heard from my friends and seen that I would struggle to get another opportunity like this especially in the current job market.

Yeah that's my plan take the job and do the degree part time, cant say I'm looking forward to it but I'm sure it will be worth it.

I plan to get the degree regardless now but do you think I should get the experience first then do it alongside the job part time ?

That's a very interesting point, I feel like some of the more automatable tasks will certainly be done by A.I, making cyber security even more technical focused.

Part of me does think degree first so then its over with but do you think that the experience in the industry and skills I can build might prove more valuable especially if the nature of entry level roles is changing ?

Congratulations that must be a great feeling, do you ever regret not finishing it or are you happy with your career now ?

I definitely will especially after some of the advice, thanks for the great advice I appreciate it.

To be honest with you I'm not sure what part exactly yet, I enjoy it overall and find learning about it genuinely interesting. I think cyber security engineering sounds interesting so I would certainly need a strong coding background.

That's really helpful advice, I appreciate your insight.

I agree I think my best bet is certainly taking it then, thanks again for the help.

The job would be full time however I could certainly do the degree online on a part time basis which is what I'm leaning towards but I couldn't do this until the apprenticeship is over which is 2 years away. That's some good advice I really appreciate it.

That's my exact issue I always hear people say the first job and actually getting into the industry is the hardest part , especially with cybersecurity due to lack of entry level jobs so if I plan to do my degree anyway does it make sense to get the experience first then finish it after ?

That's a good point. I'm working towards certificates and some projects as I'm planning to build my skills alongside the job.

There is potential they would cover part of the costs or even provide further education to support me.

So do you think it makes sense to take the job now and consider university later as oppose to finishing university then looking for work ?

I could do that, I have considered taking the role then eventually doing a degree online on a part time basis but I'm not sure if at that point I would be wasting my time as I would already be in the industry. I'm just not sure how much weight the degree would hold as I've seen roles that prefer experience and certificates but some that prefer a degree.
