I love how the people on those kinds of subs just love the but I need muh freedom of speech argument to justify their hate . Free speech doesn ' t apply to private spaces And besides , if we ' re talking about it from a nonconstitutional standpoint , freedom of speech NEVER is more important than freedom from repression . <| sep |> Just finished the Cinder series and really enjoyed it . It was my first foray in to fairytale retellings . I am almost positive there is a doc somewhere in this sub with fairytale recs but I can ' t find it . Any recommendations ? <| sep |> I ' m not in the IT field , but computer science . But if this is a step up in general regarding your current job , it ' d be great to get that experience . Plus , this sounds like you could twist it to show you have an understanding in the field . For example . I ' m a self taught programmer with 10 years of experience . I was hired for a language I barely have worked with , but they thought that it would get me ahead and I started out making 1520 k higher than the industry entry level average . I ' ve also worked in a couple of other fields that all have same scenarios that commonly occur . If you go into any sort of depth into how it relates to IT and they REALLY do offer growth do your research , this wouldn ' t be bad at all . But to be honest , an AA doesn ' t really seem to qualify you for much anymore . I ' d try to go for at least a Bachelors to get into Network Security . I talked to some industry professionals and even with my experience in IT pentesting , networking , management it would be difficult using an AA to get into a career .
