@jackemled @catsalad (*sigh*) Unfortunately that's probably true these days. I flunked out of college (A's and F's, they kick you out if you get too many F's), and that closed some doors while opening others. My buddy got his degree, but also jail time for hacking activities, so I guess I avoided that.
Honest question, though: Do new grads understand infosec any better now than, say, 20 years ago? Based on the attacks I've had to defend against, I'm skeptical.

@alameth @catsalad It's probably worse. Lots of classes lie to you now for advertising purposes or are just scams, especially recently since big companies have switched to promoting their new LLM spam generators in their certifications classes instead of their other products. I wonder how long until Cisco puts one of them in their switches & tries to make people use it instead of the command line for configuration.
