Episode description

What jobs are out there, what jobs interest you and/or fit best with your desires, abilities, and preferences.  I talk about  eight (8) practices, over a dozen jobs, and 12 markets/industries, for listeners to learn about.  This talk came out of a 1:1 I had with an early professional at my company and I believe many listeners can benefit from this conversation.  Where do you want to take your cyber security career?  What's out there?  How do you find it?  What should you do?
