I think that many people do something similar to the speaker in the video, that they take an opportunity without fully understanding it. It may not work out as well as it did for him, but I think that taking opportunities like that are very important for both growth in a career and self growth. You learn more about what you like and dislike and what your own strengths and weaknesses are. I actually got into the career path of cybersecurity and hacking by throwing myself into it in high school and I am now learning it in college and enjoying myself. I personally think it is very important for people to try different things in general, but also with jobs, to find things they really enjoy and want to do which is what our speaker did.
