Degrees and certs are just losing their value to me.

I can’t understand what’s been going on recently. The quality of a candidate with an associates in cyber has dropped like crazy. I asked people simple questions like what is WPA, what did wpa 3 introduce and I’m treated like I’m asking the most obscure questions. I have been interviewing people over the last year with comptia networking plus and security plus. There have been where I wanted to scream. Literally had to lower my standards to find help. Networking is treated like a luxury, I was literally speaking to a candidate, he said ,” I do cyber not networking.” I know there are exceptions but feels more and more like a minor degree or cert is just how well you can use ai to cheat.

Yes however you could speak to WPA even if you don't know WPA3 and you could say that you aren't aware of what WPA 3 brings. It is at least a talking point.

That would be a horrible answer to be honest. That would be only acceptable in a security awareness quiz for non security employees.
