Can I just say how impressed I am by the number of members who have advanced degrees in computer science and engineering? I could never do what you do. I have never been mechanically or technologically oriented. I was always more of a English/History nerd than a Math/Science nerd as a kid.
At this point I can't even get my stupid wireless headphones to sync with my phone.

Never got to university -- it was out of reach for an orphan, with some lingering emotional disturbance from a battered childhood, dumped on the streets at 17.
However, once I got working in a clerical job, I managed to get an accounting designation (Registered Industrial Accountant) many years ago. This got me to the position of Accounting Manager for a smelting firm, and as such, I bought them their first computer. I learned to program by myself, and eventually moved out of accounting altogether, and took a back-step to programmer. I worked very hard at that, and eventually had roles such as Project Manager, Database Administrator, Architect, Director of Architecture, and VP/CTO for a major international insurance company. (Not the whole company, just its Canadian operations, but still...)

It really depends on the individual, the specific area in cybersecurity and [social] networking. I haven't noticed that most jobs require a BA, as much as I've noticed that most jobs want to see either experience or certs proving you know the job. In Israel at least, there are many places (definitely not all and very few of the big companies, but still a decent number) that are willing to train provided you come in with a certain level of knowledge. Mostly, it's going to be the junior positions, tier 1 SOC, etc. But for people like me who can't wait 4 years to get a job, it got my foot in the door for me to start building up experience.
Do tell.
I specialized in thin sets in 0-dimensional metric groups. After that, I studied a type of non-linear integration. Then I did some stuff with Chebyshev polynomials.

Harumph. Not music then?
Nope. The *first* problems in harmonic analysis had to do with analyzing sound waves, but the subject has diversified quite a bit since Fourier go things going.
My first university degree was in zoology, which enabled me to gain admission to one of our country's two medical schools. I completed a medical degree after having a few years away from formal studies then later completed a post graduate fellowship in general practice. I've been a practicing MD for over 20 years. I've spent the last 13 years working in general practice and the 7 years before that as a psychiatry intern.
Given the world and especially the IT environment today, that's a wonderful field to be in for job security and more.
My business replacing burned out tubes
in computers isn't doing so well.
In other words, it's not tubular (to use old slang).
Totally, dude.
