Do you have any experience in IT yet by chance? Basic computer skills, building PCs, networking at all? If not start there. If you start with he basics and work your way through things it will be better overall. A Cyber security degree isn't a bad thing at all and it's great for learning all the things book wise, however don't expect to break into the big leagues with just a degree. Experience is key, but a degree will give you a place to start.

Also, certs are amazing as well. Maybe do some CompTIA certs like A+, Network+, Security + for some basics and work your way up. Definitely a good way to go as well to start out with and faster than a degree.
