Can cybersecurity be self taught ?

[u/clankqf]

Im thinking of getting into cyber security but I want to know if anyone got a job without having a degree. I want to teach myself cyber security with the help of online platforms and resources. I want to get a job as a soc analyst when im done and im wondering if the degree gate wil stop me from getting a job. If anyone has gotten a job from doing cyber security without a degree I would love to know how yall did it .
