My personal opinion is that technical cybersecurity roles are not great straight-out-of-school jobs. Technical cyber roles can expect a candidate to already have experience with networking, system administration, some coding, technical writing, and presentation skills.

So starting with other IT roles like help desk, system administration and networking, etc. can help build knowledge.
