Our Cybersecurity Hiring Modernization Act ends mandatory degree requirements for federal cyber jobs and opens the door to qualified cybersecurity professionals who lack a college degree. Our government needs the best cybersecurity professionals protecting America, hired for what they can do, not what degree they have.

Many college grads have inflated self esteem. Especially the frat rats, who commonly cheated their way through.

You should stay in Congress Nancy. You can do so much good for us there ...

🤣 dumb AF. The best are the ones with degrees. Where does big tech recruit from? College's & Universities.

Remove H1Bs

Hiring ?? holding them accountable per the credentials like degrees will be required with for the future safety of technology and A.i

Really good hackers make really good Cyber Security personnel and most really good hackers are self taught. So let's recruit those Genius Nerds!

We need accountability for the pedophiles in our government. Until then, you are a joke.

Dropping degree requirements sounds like empowerment, but without strict standards it risks lowering the bar, not raising opportunity. It creates a two‑tier system where elite cyber roles still demand advanced education while lower‑level jobs get rebranded as “skills‑based” to justify cheaper labor. It also opens the door to inconsistent hiring, political favoritism, and under‑qualified applicants slipping through because agencies are desperate to fill vacancies. Instead of fixing the talent pipeline, this approach could deepen inequality inside federal cyber teams and weaken the very security it claims to strengthen.

brilliant, you have the best ideas /s

@GOPoversight I do not agree with that proposal, Representative Mace.

@GOPoversight Can you explain this?? 😱

Sergey Brin @ Stanford (Dec '25): Google hires "tons" w/o degrees "They just figure things out on their own in some weird corner." Perfect timing for H.R.5000 pushing skills in fed cyber jobs.

Most computer enthusiasts realized they were smarter than the so called professors and just played by themselves.

Where are they advertising? These apps are just not trust trustworthy. You give your complete history to them, even if you never get a job, your data is forever online.

Our government need less of you Nancy, when do we get to ban you from politics?

It's the Save Act stupid

I worked quite successfully as an IT Professional for 45 years without a college degree and never hid the fact. Either you know how to do the work and can demonstrate it to you employer or you're useless, college degree notwithstanding.

Sure, let's dumb that down

This is appropriate

ARREST CHILD RAPISTS now! Have the CLINTONS TESTIFY IN PUBLIC. Cameras on. Enough of this shit.

How do you use it to protect pedophiles? Protecting pedophiles is your main job. Trump is a child molester. Why do you protect a child molester?

Sidenote: Windows > Linux for government work. Eat it losers. I can make Windows far more secure than Linux will ever be.

Nancy we have too many government employees as it is. How do you expect us to pay for all the gatekeepers when you want to cut taxes at every turn. How about we get the prisoners (free labor) to watch themselves through their own panopticons and then we can just pay them UBI?

You can be good, or even better, at cybersecurity than many with degrees, if you have real passion for it. Many professional certifications push corporate solutions that have failed repeatedly, leading mainly to centralization, central vulns, and thus large-scale breaches.

Great idea and it's about time! I'm a cyber security in the great state of South Carolina and I turn 62 tomorrow. We need some new talent! I hope this passes.

Well we already have unqualified you in congress so go for it

The @GOP means H1N VISAS that used to have to get FAKE degrees. Geez why not be HONEST this one time? 😢😟🇺🇸🇺🇸
