Is it smart to get a second bachelor's degree in Information Technology?
Hi. I'm Amy - I go by Gabe. I have a bachelor's degree in political science and a master's degree in public administration .

I have an AWS Cloud Practitioner certification and am working on the CompTIA Security+, with plans to learn linux and go for the RHCSA afterwards. I have the opportunity to do a second bachelor's degree - an accelerated information technology degree, self-funded, because I have not had any luck breaking into the field just yet.
