I recently decided to go back to school and get a job in the tech industry. I'm looking at cyber security but I'm not looked into that decision.

What degree would you recommend someone to pursue?
What field would you recommend after graduating?
What would you tell someone to avoid at all cost?

I'm older, so I'm not looking to love my job or make a lot of money. I want something that I can be proud of and just like you, I will not sacrifice my values for money. Did that and I hated myself for it. I'm just looking for something that won't take 10 years to have a good work/ life balance but also doesn't have me suck dick behind the 7-11 to make rent.
