\n\nIn this episode, our special guest, Sebastian Whiting will talk about his mid-career transition into the cybersecurity industry. In his previous career, he was in the Navy working on nuclear submarines, and now he is working as a cybersecurity analyst.
\n\n\xa0Together with Kip and Jason, Sebastian covers the step-by-step process of what he did to transition from one career field to another. If you are like Sebastian was and working in a career that you aren\u2019t passionate about, you will learn how to shift your passion into the world of cybersecurity and gain motivation to continue to learn and grow during your transition.
\n\n\xa0Jason and Kip also discuss the importance (or lack of importance) placed on a college degree during this transition, as well as the right time to get either a bachelor's degree or a master\u2019s degree, since those can affect the hiring process for certain roles with certain organizations. Understanding which organization\u2019s value a degree can help put you on the path to college, or allow you to bypass it completely while saving you a lot of time and money.
