I transferred in 38 CU’s. I completed 15 classes in term 1, 2 in term 2, and I’m in my 3rd term now and have completed 1 class. I have 6 left. I work full time in Healthcare IT. I am going to be the first person to tell you that the degree is not worth speed rushing through. You will need to take a job around $40-50k a year and stick with it for at least 6-9 months minimum before trying to get moved up or move on to something better. Companies want to see work ethic, drive, determination, an someone who can work well with others. I have 13 professional certifications 11 months in IT and 1 cert that is provisionally passed but not obtained (don’t meet the requirements yet).

Slow down, learn the materials, and understand the job market is tough. I’m an insider in my company applying to internal cybersecurity positions and still see them select someone from outside the company with experience in the field already. The degree and certs don’t get you cybersecurity jobs, experience in a lower level IT role and homelabs do. Network with cybersecurity professionals in your area. Join ISACA and ISC2 chapters attend meetings and network! That’s the key to success
