In this episode, Kip and Jason talk about the value of university degrees in the cybersecurity career. This topic does come up all the time in discussions or when people come up to Kip or Jason and ask them the same thing. And there really is no single answer that would fit everyone because a degree can either hurt or help, depending on the context.
Some people ask whether certifications are better than degrees and vice versa, or whether they need a degree or not. But it really depends on what job it is you are trying to get, which sector this job belongs to, and where in the world you are located. Some have even made the mistake of "over-degreeing" and have become the proverbial "guy with more degrees than a thermometer", which some hiring managers also avoid.
A prevailing frame of thought in the US, as well as in most countries, is that a college degree will be a "ticket" to get you places. In cybersecurity, this is not a true thing because no such guarantee exists.
