When choosing a major for my college degree, I struggled for the longest time. Trying to pick a major that would lead me into the career I would have as an adult, as a high school senior, was a huge decision. After many different major changes, I finally chose the one that interested me the most from the beginning, cyber security. One of the main reasons I chose cyber security as my major was because of the unlimited growth that comes with it. I enjoy learning and being able to grow in what I do academically and in jobs/careers. With the cyber security technology, there is a huge growth potential in this career path and for learning opportunities. With the world becoming more technologically advanced, the opportunity to stay engaged and to have multiple challenges with cyber security technology, never ends. Another major factor that made me interested in cyber security, was knowing I had the ability to solve puzzles in my career. I am able to solve logical and technical challenges, it is something I enjoy as it keeps my brain busy. Every situation that I will face in my future career will require me to solve puzzles, which is something I look forward to. The satisfaction of solving one these puzzles will help me to grow and become better at every other one I face. The rewarding work, is another one of the main factors, even if this career will keep me on my toes. Being able to be a “hero” in my career is something I look forward to as well. Knowing that I am the one behind protecting people’s livelihoods and personal privacy, will be so rewarding to me and to them. I am looking forward to cyber security and all that it offers, it is a career with guaranteed growth, the ability to learn and solve logical puzzles, and all in all a rewarding career.
