Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

I'm working through a cybersecurity degree right now and honestly I sometimes question the point, it looks like tech is just dead, and I doubt with the west's decline it's gonna get any better. Same with the housing market.
Sorry to vent I guess, but weirdly I've been feeling less doomer about the world overall lately, but more doomer in terms of my personal life. Like, I actually have some faith humanity is going to pull through this, but I think things are pretty fucked for me where I am now and I don't really know what to do about it, maybe I should just go full Crust Punk and learn the play the banjo for wine cooler money
Its sadly either an IT degree with an emphasis in looking at PCAPs and hardening servers, or its doing nationstate level hacking. For the latter, the degree doesn't do much unless you do a TON of hacking shit in your free time and teach yourself to dream in assembly.
