Bachelors Degree in IT w/ concentration in Cyber Security. Worth it?

by connerhgn . Updated 11 years, 3 months ago

I’ve recently been looking into going back to school for this degree. I’ve been researching and seeing mixed reviews on whether or not it’s worth it. A little background: I’ve been to college before and have about 60 credits under my belt. I want to return to further myself. Always been interested in computers and systems and cyber security has always fascinated me.
Many jobs I have seen require a lot of experience with degrees not always being a requirement while certifications are always a must. So do I go for the degree while sacrificing experience (I have none at the moment) OR do I teach myself to earn these certifications and try my luck that way? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated 🙂
