So as an update. I went and graduated in May of 2019 and managed to (somehow) land a job as a SecOps junior analyst in the hospitality sector in Chicago 3 days after walking for my bachelor's.
Because of COVID, I actually ended up working from home for longer than I'd been physically travelling to the office.
3 and a half-ish years later, I'm a senior on the same team with GSEC and GCIH certs, and I'm studying for CISSP I'm surrounded at work by some of the most intelligent people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. It's been a wild ride, and I'm looking forward to more.
