Hello, I'm rearing near the end of my bachelors in cybersecurity and although I love networking and security, I find myself lost for where to go. I know I have valuable skills but my job market is full of grime. I'd rather work of geek squad turning off and on computers than find myself working for some crypto bro or god forbid the government. Half my courses were just putting me in the chair watching my teacher sloppy toppy AWS, Open AI or Cisco and I fear my education is railroading me into working for the institutions I'm opposed to. I want to use my degree justly. I still have time before I graduate and am looking for direction that wont seppuku my morals. Any and all advice is helpful.

Old person opinion. Honestly find someone within the multiple fields, your degree can be used within, as a mentor. People within technology/cyber security love networking. If you have to go within a corpartion don't fret, alot of people started there. Also be thinking about yourself as a brand because you want your own company, brand, influencer side hustle. Keep up to date with the Ai shifting landscape as well because human careers are shifting as companies try to find what Ai is going to become long-term VS the human work force. We can't not embrace Ai at this stage if technology advancement, we just have to weave around it.

Thanks for responding, I would love to find someone to shadow and may have to start within a bigger corporation but will still work to find a corp I respect before having to resign to the oligarch doggirl-sweat
