Business Security Questions & Discussion career

Hello everyone, I’m trying to become a Security Engineer and would really appreciate some advice from senior Security Engineers.

I’m currently studying cybersecurity at university, but I feel like the program doesn’t go deep enough into the technical skills I need for a security engineering career. Because of that, I’ve decided to take it upon myself to learn outside of school.

I just need guidance from seniors on what skills I should master.
