    "Is cyber security hard" No it's just like wiping your ass it takes time and you need to double check. :)
    Most people want whatever they do to seem so complicated and complex that only they can do it or only a few are good or smart enough to do. lol but the short answer is NO it is not, it just take some time to be good at it just like anything else in this world.

    It's nice to hear someone saying they got an IT degree because I've been so back and forth lately between CS and IT. I finally decided yesterday on IT because I'm not great at math and CS would take me another couple years because of the calculus. And computers aren't really my passion, just moderately interesting, and I don't want to get burnt out in school before I even get started with the jobs. I think I could do really good in IT, but CS just seems like too much for me.

    Well she just described any degree or career lol. Ahhhhh being young is so much fun. She clearly did pick up slit of information in undergrad but who can blame her…most of us didn’t…needed certificates is 1 and advanced degree is 2 and learning programming Linux number 3. I just talked to a cyber security consultant…learned it all in the military so if you can go that way first and learn it’s better off. I am studying now for my first certification and have 18 years experience in finance so the math coding is bit an issue but it’s like learning anything new…your feel dumb at first then it’s gets better and better till you fall for it…if you don’t move along to something else you like.

    IMO
    Depends
    IR / DFIR can be 'hard' in the sense that it is a challenge to be better than the adversary... hard doesn't mean that it is not fun. I love it but it is not for everyone.
    I would think GRC and RMF stuff would be boring and hard for me because I am just not interested that much in them... writing policy and such.
    So it depends. Cybersecurity is a big field.

      The highest level of math I took was Calc1 and I've never used it in my job :) so no worries about math in this field!
