Read, listen to podcasts and educate yourself. I say at 500,000 a technician, I need 2000 technicians. I’ll tell you the smartest thing I ever did, was start a podcast, because it put me in touch with people, and let me… It’s almost like it’s not only networking, but it’s therapy for me.

For me (Thomas) — I graduated in 2000 during massive layoffs in Silicon Valley. This continued need for cyber talent ranges from cybersecurity engineers and network security architects to cybersecurity analysts   and policymakers. Other moments are unexpected. They catch us off-guard and force us to rethink everything.

And the microchip, the neural network, the rocket, the split atom. Nixon was right; we didn’t build the plants then, but we can now, anytime we decide we want to.
