In my mid-20's, and I have a fairly cushy job as a web developer with about 5 years experience. However, I haven't done much college. I really want to get a degree, but I'm stuck between choosing a "web development" degree, which looks to be a super easy program.
However, I've always been interested in the security aspect of web development, so my other option is to major in cybersecurity. I have no real work experience in it, but I study it often and if I had more free time to pursue it, I could see it becoming a passion of mine. However, the cybersecurity degree at my university is much more rigorous than the web dev degree.
So which do I choose? I also have a kid on the way, so a lot of my free time will be gone. Do I breeze through the easy degree as quickly as I can just to get the piece of paper? Or do I go with the degree I have more interest in?
