Week 1 Journal Entry

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.

After reviewing the NICE Workforce Framework, I think I would want to focus my career in cybersecurity on either Cyber Investigation or Exploitation Analysis. The aspect of surveillance and counter-surveillance, surveillance detection, and finding gaps in a network's security sounds really interesting, and I could definitely see myself pursuing that. Being an ethical hacker for a company seems very enticing, along with helping build the architecture for the company and becoming an irreplaceable part of their network security.

I would want to stray away from the customer service and technical support aspect of the job because my experience with customer service has not been the greatest and I understand that people do not appreciate customer service usually unless they themselves have worked in customer service before.
