Hi all! I’m a UX designer and my background is in speech pathology— I have a BSc and MSc in speech path. Cybersecurity seems to be a great blend of my interests. Should I pursue a BSc in cyber or AAS in cyber?

That is a really cool background, how do you currently use them today? You might want to consider certifications instead as school only teaches foundations, studying for certs gives more hands-on information though nothing is a substitute for the real deal which can be learned through some white-hat security programs.

My brother, I helped him when I was younger (12) and it inspired me to learn more when I was in college. So I pursued my bs and ms in it. It was exhilarating at times bc I was able to use technology to help my kiddos communicate. I wanted to learn more about technology.

I’m surprised you said boot camp. I’ve heard others steer away.

If you already have a bachelors and are set on school as the path forward I would get a master’s

Interesting, I was told to steer away from masters. But since I have no background in cyber, I’ll check out some masters programs.

Any advice on shifting from association law to commercial real estate in FL?

I've been applying to jobs for months but every position wants at least 2yrs of experience in real estate transactions, usually way more. I'm at 1yr+ doing HOA/condo work but have had no opportunity to do real estate transactions like I expected. Seems like the only way to get the experience is to have nailed a big law gig right out of school and get put into that practice.

So I recently graduated in the fall semester from school, and I am now trying to find a entry-level full-time position in my field. I graduated with a BA in Cinema and Television Arts; specifically in Entertainment Media Management. I wasn’t able to do an internship because of work and personal stuff. Does anyone know any good tips of what entry level positions I should look into?
