You can do both but it would depend if the school you pick have CISCO certified programmes that you can offer, Cyber security is one of them.

No one cares about your grades with regards to computer science. It's one of the most egalitarian courses out there. You are judged based on what you can do.
Bad advice.
So far you're in Nigeria strive to be the best.
I understand that the grades don't really matter it's your skill that does.
But nigeria doesn't understand that logic

Thank you cheesy.

Companies only care about your skills as a computer scientist. It's the facts. Go online search for the following roles: Front end developer, back end developer, data scientist, full-stack developer, network engineer, game developer. There's absolutely no grade requirements for these jobs only raw skills. If you are a computer science student interested in working in a bank then get the right grades. Getting into a good school for masters is also dependent on grades too but raw skills get the jobs done.

The only exception there may be Data Science, so many companies want folks with Masters and PhDs. In fact, the requirement most times for Data Science jobs involves being from a core mathematical or analytical inclined background.

Keep deceiving yourself, even abroad sef a white man will prefer to give his job to a white man with no education. Than to give a black with first class not to talk of a black with third class or pass.

As far as I know the cyber security field works with certifications CEH, CISM, CISSP e.t.c. I would go with a computer sci degree since it gives you a much larger base of knowledge and opens you up to more job opportunities in the future compared to a cyber security. Cyber security is not a field you can survive in with only superficial knowledge. You can be a Web/App developer without knowing shit about how a computer actually works. Not the same with Cyber Sec where you need to have a deep knowledge of operating systems, computer networks e.t.c

In the end sha, either is fine though but I feel one option is clearly better. As long as you spend enough time developing your skills on your own.

data science web development are jobs that dont require cs degree i agree . But the top jobs like chief software engineer, project manager at established tech comp i can assure if you dont have degree in cs or it or any engineering degree you will never get the job .the same way a mechanic wit skills and engi with project nd pay

Can someone who studied computer science get a job a chief software engineer

What about Information technology which is better CS or IT

Are you studying this in Nigeria?


I'm starting Cyber Security and Computer Forensic this September. It's going to be my second degree.

I'm interested in security and Forensics. We will do programming, database, computer systems, Networking, and all foundations in our first year before delving into security and Forensics all in second and final year.

If you are interested in security, go do Cyber security. You will get to learn programming, SQl and all in the course. Check out the course syllabus. If I may ask, which school are going for?
Cyber security is quite broad and very lucrative. Check out how much Pen testers, SOC earn. The fact is that you can still be a developer after this course.

If you want to do Maths, calculus and co, go for Computer Science. It's harder and boring.
