    I think the best advice I can give is "stay focused, alert, and highly flexible. I certainly did not end up where I thought I was going to go.

    • At 16 I wanted to study psychology.
    • At 17 (college freshman) I studied philosophy assuming I’d go into law like my father.
    • I graduated with a finance degree
    • At 21 I began a career in IT (sysadmin) by turning my hobby into a job
    • At 26 I began mixing my love of information security, and backgrounds in finance and law.
    • At 31 I started my own company because my field was too niche to justify working for only one company
    • At 52 I shitpost in Lemmy while trying to keep this country’s shit infrastructure from collapsing.
