About to graduate this May (Bachelors Of Computer Science - Major Software Engineering). My problem is that im not sure if i should pursue a Masters in the same field or get a degree in cyber security. Reason is as i don’t want to be left jobless when CHAT GPT 7 comes out and want to have a back up degree in cybersecurity. What are you thoughts on this will appreciate any advice.

Thank you.

I think it sounds like a good plan. Cybersecurity is a great industry and career. With tech being hit so hard these days, having multiple disciplines is a favorable option.

You will make more money as a software engineer and they will still be needed regardless of how many operations of ChatGPT come out.

You don't need a masters, you need work experience. Get internships and build a portfolio of projects on the side.

Lulz, ok, let’s call ChatGPT 7-10 by its real moniker “Marsellus Wallace”, who will fuck your shit up no matter your background and degrees and certs.

Get into the / a field and build connections otherwise you won’t have experience and the entry level and Jr. roles will disappear or dwindle like your balls precipitating after Marsellus Wallace calls up the AI assistants and agents across multimodal and multicloud tenants chuck full of RPA and console control functionality - it’ll whisper into your ears:

“What now? Let me tell you what now. I’ma call a coupla hard, pipe-hittin’ niggas, who’ll go to work on the homes here with a pair of pliers and a blow torch. You hear me talkin’, hillbilly boy? I ain’t through with you by a damn sight. I’m gonna get medieval on your ass.”

And then you’re jobless, homeless, but you gotta eat no regard so you turn to the old school Dead Prez albums for inspiration: Let’s Get Free:

Verse 1: stic.man]
Sittin' in the living room on the floor
Hunger pain got me on some migraine shit
But I'm a maintain
Nigga got two or three dollars to my name
And my homies in the same boat going through the same thing
Ready for the caper, steady plottin' for the paper
We been livin' in the dark since April
On the candle, gotta get a handle
My homie got a twenty-five automatic added to the gamble
Nigga get the phonebook look up in the Yellow Page
Lemme tell you how we finna to get paid
We gonna order pizza and when we see the driver
We gonna stick the twenty-five up in his face
Let's ride, steppin' outside like warriors
Head to the notorious Southside
One weapon to the four of us
Hidin' in the corridor until we see the Dominos car headlights
White boy in the wrong place at the right time
Soon as the car door open up he mine
We roll up quick and put the pistol to his nose
By the look on his face he probably shitted in his clothes
You know what this is, it's a stick up
Gimme the dough from your pickups
You ran into the wrong niggas
We runnin' down the block hot with these pizza boxes

I did it! I got an in-house Paralegal position after years of working and being burned out at different law firms.
