Seeing numerous cybersec/infosec internships requiring active degrees is disheartening! 💢

The practice seems counterproductive to a workforce hiring gap; restricting an industry to only those privileged enough to be pursuing conventional (often inadequate) degrees appears shortsighted 😡

Self-taught individuals on par with their counterparts is obvious and proving as valuable as, if not more than, a four-year degrees in some case! 💻

If we're respecting and mutually accrediting ACCESSIBLE (pay-what-you-want & free) industry learning materials (cyber ranges, workshops, online courses, certs, etc) then why the artificial roadblock of a traditional degree? 🤔

#introduction time for #vetsec - Thanks for having us here - this is the official account of the 501c3, VetSec, Inc. We work to help #military #veterans of the United States and 14EYE nations find meaningful employment in #cybersecurity. We do this through #mentorship, #resume reviews, and a #slack community of over 5,300 veterans all taking their time to either help or be helped. We also work with some amazing partners like #sans, #leveleffect, #tcmsecurity, and #immersivelabs to provide great training and discounts to our members. You can help by joining, setting your #amazonsmile to VetSec, or just spreading the word. Additionally, if you're #hiring and have a good culture and want some great #veterans on your time, reach out to us as we work to promote your job listings (some requirements apply).
