Digital Forensics | Davin Teo | TEDxHongKongSalon– YouTubeLinks to an external site.Watch this video and think about how the career of digital forensics investigators relate to the social sciences. Write a journal entry describing what you think about the speaker’s pathway to his career.
- In my view, the speaker describes his career journey as a winding road. He mentioned that during his time, there wasn’t much development in the field, you were either in it or not. I believe this illustrates a crucial point about choosing the right career path. For me, the idea of testing the waters doesn’t resonate as strongly as fully immersing oneself. He then shares that although he’s an accountant by profession, he got involved in IT work when a firm needed assistance with their networks. Despite being an accountant, he found himself increasingly drawn to IT work. This decision to diverge from his original path is a testament to the fact that even if you’re well-practiced in one field, you can still explore new avenues. This deviation led him to establish Australia’s first national digital forensic practice, and he never looked back. I believe the speaker’s journey, ultimately finding a career he’s passionate about, epitomizes what many of us aim for.
