Today, I faced a wave of discouragement. I came across a Reddit post claiming that degrees from National University are often dismissed by hiring managers. This left me questioning the value of my own Master of Science in Cybersecurity. However, my determination to push forward brought me to a paragraph that reignited my confidence.
The writer highlighted that National University is a regionally accredited institution, recognized by the same accrediting body as prestigious universities like UCLA and UCSD. They underscored how the federal government supports tuition reimbursement for NU students, proving its credibility. This perspective reminded me that while biases exist, my degree is valid and can open doors in federal or private sectors.

This moment of doubt reinforced my need to stay focused on my goals. To help manage my job search, I’ve been organizing my applications using Notion. Tools like these are my lifeline, helping me track progress and maintain momentum.
No journey is without its setbacks, but I’m learning to face challenges with resilience. If you’re out there pursuing your dreams and feeling uncertain, know this: progress comes from persistence, not perfection.
