When it comes to education and application of the knowledge, what is preferred, masters in cyber security or various cyber security certifications in regards to application at work?

I would give the analogy of a masters in cyber security is like a sea of water that’s only an inch deep, where a certification is like a pool that’s 50’ deep.

So even after earning your masters, more than likely you’ll want to be certified in your area of interest

As a junior, a lot of peers from my generation immediately got internships at top agencies, while I had to start at a very small and un-creative agency.

At the time, it felt very frustrating, like I was running behind. But in hindsight, it was a blessing in disguise. I got a lot of responsibility very fast and I could develop my skills gradually, without being burned. I’m sure this first job helped me enormously later on in my career.

How did you start out?
