I have had a hell of a time convincing my son to attend Uni. He just turn 17 and is finishing up High School. When he looks at the first 2 years of what he has to do (mandatory course work) and then the next 2 years of course work that is somewhat related to what he would like to do (Cyber Security Field), it seems like a waste of time and money.

He would much rather work on his SANS Certs and work toward OSCP Certification. Growing up with Linux/Networking and teaching himself to code has created a situation where he feels there is little they can offer him. He looks at the curriculum and wants to cry.
