Out of the three options, I would do a B.S. in computer science as it will give you the most options compared to networking/cybersecurity. With a B.S. in computer science you can do cybersecurity if you want to.

I would do either History or International Relations. All problems in cyber are just different ways of stating issues that have all been solved many times.

Would save my money and used it else where. Have a BS in IT with a concentration in networking. It was fairly worthless to be honest. Most of the stuff we learned was old and outdated at the time, the basic concepts were all that really needed to be taught but we had to learn specific systems that are long gone or were on the way out during the info being taught to us. I think I got more out of public speaking and psychology to help me in the corporate world.

Just got let go and my manager said part of it was because I was looking for other jobs. I didn't look for other jobs at work, so I'm not sure how they could have known that unless a coworker snitched on me. Is it worth it to try and find out who or should I just leave it? Can't deny that I'm seriously pissed off about it.
