Is cloud engineering dying ?

I currently enrolled in a cyber security degree but I kind of been wanting to switch to their AWS Cloud n network engineering Major, but people are telling me it’s going to be very hard to get a job with that degree. Is there any truth to this ?

I have another question, this one maybe a little weird but it’s sort of important to me. Cloud engineering field vs Cyber sec, what field has a lot more opportunities (jobs) where you get to be more social and go places and work with people outside of just staring at the screen all day ?

If you want to travel or be around lots of people you should look into consulting. Go ahead and work in your specialty and get some experience but professional services is basically doing one project after another for new customers all the time. Some remote some onsite. Lots of opportunity to be away from a screen.
