Question:

When considering my career goals, one of my main priorities has always been to work for the government, particularly in the Washington, DC area. Reflecting on the various work role categories made me think more specifically about what I want to do. The roles that appeal most to me are Protection and Defense (PD) and Implementation and Operation (IO). If I pursue a career in government, I believe that the ability to implement new strategies and defend against adversaries would be most beneficial in contributing to its mission. On the other hand, Cyberspace Intelligence (CI) and Effects (CE) are less appealing to me, as cyberspace and space have never been areas of personal interest for my future career.
