After going through the NICE Framework, I’m most interested in the Cyberspace Effects workforce, particularly offensive and defensive cybersecurity. Offensive cyber operations involve exploiting and degrading enemy intelligence, which sounds very exciting and challenging. While I’m sure building a secure network is rewarding, I think the satisfaction of hacking into an enemy network for the greater good is unmatched. So that is why my goal will be to pursue just that.
On the other hand, Implementation and Operations appeal to me the least. It sounds more like routine maintenance, similar to maintaining a car–It’s necessary but gets repetitive. I believe I would prefer more dynamic challenges rather than repetitive work.
