Current Careers & Aspirations

[white_noise]

Just wondering what jobs all you guys have and what you'd like to be doing in the future.
I'm interested how many people here actually have a job in cyber security 

I'm currently in my final year of A level but I'm hoping to go and work for some cyber security companies in my area when I leave.

p.s. Sorry if this is the wrong board

I'm a dishwasher at a sushi restaurant.

PS: Next time you decide to draw a Jackson Pollock painting of wasabi and soy sauce on your plate, be ready to get revenge hacked by the dishwasher.

I work in information security. There are a lot of different positions/approaches to working in the field. Currently I am in operations but would love to be in the pentesting/consulting sector.

I am currently an amateur failure, going to a failure college, hoping I'll get that failure diploma and become a professional failure.

Well, I'm employed as a generic workplace IT administrator in a kinda large (~300 workplaces) company, doing whatever needs to be done - tech support, user troubleshooting, computer repair, hardware repair, app development, all sorts of scripting on servers in all kinds of languages... The TV show "IT crowd" sums my job pretty well and it's my dream job... and I didn't go to any university or college.
But one day I'd like to try out a security-related job...

I'm pretty new in hpc. I'm just here for fun, picking up random knowledge. And who knows, maybe one day I'll work in a security related field.

I am just a security guard at a coal mining site. It's not anything fancy, but I like it. I really can't see myself in another job.

I work in disaster recovery and business continuity at the moment. Been about 6 months, my first IT job. I've learned a lot in a short amount of time. Currently chopping through a B.S in Cyber Security as well and hope to get the Linux+ sometime this year. Before this I was a security guard making shit money and giving people tickets for having their dogs shit where they weren't supposed to. Things have unfolded quick and couldn't be better. My pm box is open if I can help at all and also I should be on IRC more.

Working in IT. Before this I worked for a robotics company building law enforcement drones and raid bots. Was a great job for a 19 year old. Tons of programming. Sadly business got shady and now I'm in limbo jumping from one in-house IT job to the next. Can't wait to finish school end of next summer. Studying for certifications right now too. All I want to do is cyber security. Penetration testing is my favorite passtime. I used to be in Biology, worked at a zoo. But computers are the real deal.

I am student that does studenty things in high school. I would definitely like to work somewhere in the security industry. I quite enjoy vulnerability analysis and exploit development and have focused there so I hope to work somewhere in that field.
