After watching the TED talk video of Davin Teo discussing the Digital Forensic career field and his journey into it, I was extremely fascinated by it. Forensic digital investigators use digital tools to collect, analyze, and solve crimes involving electronic devices. The social sciences are extremely important in the digital forensic career because investigators must understand the psychological, social, and behavioral aspect of a crime in order to solve it. It is a highly intriguing field that requires a sound understanding of multiple disciplines of social science along with technical skills that will aid in a successful career. I find Mr. Teo’s journey and non-stop learning about the ever-evolving digital world inspiring and shows that you can pursue opportunities outside your normal career field because you might end up loving it even more.  With the right combination of passion and hard work, anything is possible. Mr. Teo’s story is a testament to that.
