Hey all,
First off, I apologize if this isn't the correct spot to ask about career advice.
I'm looking to transition mid career into the cybersecurity/network security field of computer science. I have a bachelor's degree in an unrelated field, no IT experience or education, and have been employed in the public service sector for a number of years. Always had an interest in IT, however my first career choice had me go in another direction.
So I was wondering what would be the best path to take in starting this transition. What have some of you done? My thought to get started is to get a computer science certificate from a community college or state university in order to get intro courses and required math courses done. Then, attempt to get a master's degree. I was also wondering if having a bachelor's degree in an unrelated field and a computer science cert. would help me in getting employed (experience) before I go for a master's degree?
Any help or advice would be appreciated.
Thank you
