"When I was exploring different careers and trying to decide what type of work I wanted to do, the key criteria were something that was challenging and that changed quickly. I also wanted a job where I could make an impact and the results of my work were tangible. Network Security met all of my requirements. The field is dynamic and changes daily, it requires me to stay up to date and to continuously learn new things, and the results are immediately visible, having countered an attempted breach or prevented it from happening in the first place. I can't think of any other career that would provide me with these same benefits."
