I will soon be graduating with an AAS in Networking Technology and an AAS in Cybersecurity. I plan to get a CCNA cert and a Security+ cert as well. I have a bit over a year of experience as an operations coordinator at a large shipping company.
​
Most jobs, even ones claiming to be entry level, seem to require multiple years of IT experience. Is this actually required for most entry level jobs or as long as I demonstrate I have the skills should my current skill set be good enough to get an entry level job to start gaining experience? I'd really prefer to get a job in Cyber Security after my AAS instead of going for my B.S. right now, is this realistic?
