Im in school for compsci atm (first semester), and over the last few years I’ve been reading and learning about the cybersecurity world bc that’s my main interest. I’m studying compsci bc the cybersecurity degree at my school is newer and underdeveloped.

Which pathway would give me the best foundation: a cyber degree supplementing w certs, or a compsci degree supplementing w certs?

I’m fascinated by cybersecurity but I also find myself thinking about the different lifestyles of a security analyst/pen testers and a software engineer. Seems to me the transition from software engineer to security analyst could be much smoother than the inverse.
