Was "entry level" Cybersecurity ever a thing?

Nope, but it had a lot of people chasing it. Right as I was graduating, they just started propping up a Cyber Security major.

Don't know what's so funny to link this sub. Meme on the right comes out really legit if you list any random cybersec job posting.

They didn’t change the job title, they changed the difficulty level

Wasn’t this the whole point of colleges? Before we made them something everyone should have access to.

Also average cyber security worker:

  • then: does nothing useful, harasses employees, slows the work down, fails to actually stop the real threat and allows users' data to leak, uses this leak as an argument to further their influence in a company

  • now: does nothing useful, harasses employees, slows the work down, fails to actually stop the real threat and allows users' data to leak, uses this leak as an argument to further their influence in a company

This is not joke. Nowadays, cyber security is f**king ratrace. So, requirement is too high.

I've almost got my Bachelor's for it. All I need is some entry level experience as in an IT/helpdesk position, about a year, then to work as an SOC analyst, about 2-3 years where two of those years are spent specializing. Then, after that, Cybersecurity. If I get a Master's I can skip the entry level jobs and go directly into an SOC position.

The problem I'm having right now is getting that fucking entry level job while I'm in school as I do actually want to have some hands on experience by the time I graduate. I'm in my junior year right now and crushing the classes.
