What career are you interested in? I am currently looking to be a network administrator and possibly down the lines a cyber security specialist.


What is a Cyber Security Specialist?
Computer security specialists work with companies to build secure computer systems. They question managers and staff about their current security methods. They find out what information the company wants to protect. Specialists also learn what information employees should be able to access. Computer security specialists use their findings to plan the security system. They regularly train staff on how to use security software and properly use computers to prevent any problems.

Some computer security specialists write rules and procedures for employees to follow. In some companies, specialists coordinate security for vendors and customers in addition to employees. Specialists evaluate security breaks and determine if there are problems or errors. If there is a problem, specialists track where the break came from and shut off the access point.


Now its your turn, what does your future look like in your mind?

Best bet for me at the moment would to become a manager at the grocery store I work at. Im not trying to come off as big headed however ive had regional managers come through my store and recognize me as "the next face of Publix" and ive been told to be an outstanding worker. I know im good at what I do and I know im a good worker so becoming a manager of a store or department would be ez for me.

Although thats not what I actually want to do, this grocery store gig is a no brainier. Im pretty split right now, I would like to work in fashion or something to do with cycling. Perhaps professional cyclist?
