AFAIK, career wise it’s more about what you want. You’ll be in a stable workplace with cyber but there are some reports that the software world is closing up, that getting a job is harder.
Nursing is just always in demand.
Also if you’re going to do cyber you don’t need a degree to start. There are online classes on network security and such you can use to study for your first certification. That’s the key point to get hired. A degree would help long term but moving up requires further certification, not necessarily a degree.
Here’s a good one of you read past the doom anecdotes they give you the hard data. It’s not dying by any means but 130,000 tech workers were laid off this year. If you’re still employed or have a lot of experience you’re probably fine. It’s the newbies and grads that are experiencing a tight labor market.
Thanks, I work on now somewhat obscure stuff. Hopefully I can hang on for a while longer. AI is amazing but I don’t think it is ready to do my job yet.
Udemy is a common place. (I have not taken this course and cannot guarantee it’s a good course) If you’re willing to pay more all of the certification companies offer courses as well.

Can you be more specific about the software reports. I am in software so I would like to know if my field is dying.
