Review the NICE Workforce Framework. Are there certain areas that you would want to focus your career on? Explain which areas would appeal the most to you and which would appeal the least.

A: After reflecting on the various categories of the NICE Framework, the areas that appeal the most to me are design and development, implementation and operation, and protection and defense. These areas interest me the most because they are the most active regarding networking and cybersecurity. In each of these categories, there are careers where you are put on the front lines regarding defense. The areas that are least appealing in terms of my age and experience are oversight and governance. This area is solely management-based and can take years of experience to effectively oversee the responsibilities and challenges of the careers.
