Studying cyber security as a post grad, struggling with it. I've had a lecturer say he's worried about me and suggested maybe cyber security isn't for me and I look for something else.

I was thinking a business postgrad or something like this http://courses.curtin.edu.au/course_overview/postgraduate/GDip-InformationLibrary or this http://courses.curtin.edu.au/course_overview/postgraduate/GDip-RecordsArchives

Another option was doing a TAFE nursing course.

Just imagine learning through the hard way during your work and see how pleased your boss is with all the bullshit you've caused. Security shit is an industry on its own

Too sleepy to extend just don't do it

Just do Business postgrad since it already relates to your bachelors.

Same here lad. As an 18 year old I started studying applied physics, because physics was my favourite highschool subject. In the meantime I developed further and now applied mathematics, or artificial intelligence is more suitable for me.

If I were you I'd talk to your study advisor and figure out together what you liked best out of your studies in order to determine what you ought to give a try.

I'm just scared shitless of not getting a decent shot at employment.

Masters I assume. What did you get wrong? was it some open question about the best way to DDOS some company, or something that can be nailed down?

If you want a job I would go for something that's more "core". Computer Science, GIS, Data Science (if the professor has got people into impressive R&D teams before, they will tell you if you ask).
