Son has been kicked out of University

[Edie]

If he is doing the flag captures then he should move onto bug bounties
It’s where they check websites for bugs or vulnerabilities for companies - if they find big ones they can get paid
My son got £350 from marks Spencer’s recently but all via hacker one which is a website that deals with bug bounties - that’s basically all I know as too old to be interested

Oh god if they could read this they’d be dying. Something about black boxes? I’ll let him know about bug bounties but somehow expect he’ll be on it already. Well done to your lad!

My youngest is wanting to do either CS or cyber security and is also crap at maths Can I ask if it was the maths your lad struggled with? And if you’re able to tell me (PM if you want!) which Uni and course I’d be mega grateful.

My fear is him doing CS (rather than cyber security) and failing the maths.

Glad you saw this, Edie - was going to tag you after I saw the posts lining up!

My J has gone back to uni now. She failed her second year due to complicated reasons inc the covid lockdown. She's gone back part-time to a different uni now, and it seems that part-time student loans for extra years are easier to access than full time. Thought I'd mention it in case it helps anyone else is in the same position.

Is she doing CS? Or you just thought the discussion might be helpful?

I meant that I saw Spacegirl's posts so was about to tag you in this thread because you were asking about that topic elsewhere
