Does a college degree actually prepare you for cybersecurity jobs?

A degree gives you the foundation, but most entry-level cybersecurity roles expect practical skills: tools, labs, attack scenarios, reporting, and the ability to explain impact.

Where do you think colleges fall short the most?

For me, the biggest gaps are:

• Real-world labs
• Tool confidence
• Updated attack scenarios
• Interview-focused practice
• Report writing
