Hello, I am a sophomore in college, and I attend East Carolina University. My field of study is cybersecurity, but I am switching my major to computer science. The reason for this is I want a full grasp of how computers work and the mathematical theory that applies to technology. Computer science is hard, but I am up for the challenge. This will give me a advantage in the job market and will help me understand how to program different types of security systems. Ethical hacking is the career path I want to take in cybersecurity. I noticed my skill when I was younger doing glitches and cheat codes on my Xbox console to give me an advantage over my opponents in the game. It was easy for me, just a little step by step process and it’s done. My curiosity about hacking began to grow as the memories began to process in my mind over the summer. The research begins and everything about hacking begins to process in my mind. I began to learn about the certain certifications and education needed for this craft, but that’s why computer science will take me to the next level knowing how to technology runs mathematically will give me an advantage. In cybersecurity you use tools to help defend against attacks and make vulnerabilities stronger. My question with the degree program is what if the tools don’t work then what? You will have to come up with another plan, that’s what computer science will teach you. Hacking is a word that is deemed bad, but now we have transitioned into making the word good. This skillset has become a trade that people can learn and obtain job positions through certification, which is great because now people can use their skill to help prevent future malicious attacks.
