Is a Career in Cybersecurity for You? The demand is much greater than the supply of job recruits. by Eric Holdeman / February 4, 2021 It was three to four years ago, but I recall that in the state of Idaho they had 1,400 open positions at one time for cybersecurity professionals. The other thing I remember about who is a good fit for cybersecurity is people who are "good thinkers," so don't confine yourself to thinking that you have to come out of the IT industry. I recall someone saying that philosophy majors are good candidates for working in the cybersecurity field. Maybe you can earn money with the liberal arts degree after all!
