For a while I thought I'd end up being a radio host. Or a journalist focusing on audio. Then I thought I'd be a podcast host — and now I am back to writing again (and not as a journalist). All this to say: You never know what life will bring. Keep exploring & building skills (if you want to take career advice from ppl qualified to give it, check out www.80000hours.org). And happy #WorldRadioDay!

Organisations with influence, financial power, and advanced technology are targeted by actors seeking to steal or abuse these assets. A career in information security is a promising avenue to support high-impact organisations by protecting against these attacks, which have the potential to disrupt an organisation's mission or even increase existential risk.
