The speaker’s pathway to his career is very passionate. I believe that he chose something that he is very interested in and has a lot of fun doing. He also could’ve chosen this career because he wanted to understand human thought more when they commit some bad acts. His line of work involves not only retrieving data from suspicious devices, but also some degree of understanding the thought of the offender. He needs this because when looking for the data you must looking at the places that are in plain view and the places where the offender could’ve tried hiding their offenses. Therefore, as stated above, he must have some degree of understanding the mind of the offender.
