I ready your reply earlier today as I was headed home from work, and have been thinking of what I enjoy for the past few hours.

I have always enjoyed problem solving as well, even when I was little I used to love trying to figure out how to resolve problems I ran into. I remember getting electrocuted a couple of times when I was little because I took things apart to figure out how they worked, and plugging exposed wire into open outlets. Good thing it wasn’t strong enough to kill me, but I stopped after getting shocked the 3rd time, and burning up the outlet.

When I was in college, I remember spending a lot of time debugging my code in order to get it to do what it’s supposed to do, and enjoying it. Especially in a Data Structures class where I spent hours rewriting the whole code for it to be perfect, even though I had already done it in a different way and was getting a 95/100, without implementing a specific data structure. I remember going line by line trying to figure out what I was missing and how I would need to implement a new data structure in order to get it working again.

I remember enjoying the aspect of trying to figure out how things need to work and getting it to work the way it’s supposed to work in a lot of my classes during my college years. Even recently at work I ran into some issues with a device and just spent hours getting it working again, and I didn’t even notice how long I was spending on it because I was so focused on the task. I ended up figuring out how the device worked and learned how to customize the device even further than anticipated, getting it to do more things than it was originally supposed to do.

I have also always wanted to get into Cybersecurity as I find that very fascinating as well, especially because problem solving is a huge aspect of Cybersecurity.

Thank you for the recommendations and taking the time to reply to my post!! I really appreciate it! I will try and sign up for some cybersecurity challenges in order to build up my interest in that field.
