STEM people: do you enjoy what you do?

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

This reminds me: I've got some Intro to Digital Forensics homework to work on! :0 Obviously, I'm not STEM, but thanks to the shadow of abject fear that follows me everywhere combined with close contact with a friend of mine who majors in cybersecurity, I'm interested in integrating my interests with greater knowledge of things like... ugh... computers. That my primary IR interest--Russia, to put it in a word--is integrally related to the US' (ugh) "cybersecurity" situation kind of helps. In light of this, I took Computer Crime Investigation I last winter and am taking my first actual computers class, Intro to Digital Forensics, right now. Hoping to take Spatial Analysis & Mapping (which instructs you in not only the "analysis" part, but also in GIS systems) in the winter as a grad class.

(For the record, I hate attaching "cyber" to anything, as it was used in children's TV shows and thus doesn't sound like an actual word meant for an office or academia but, as such, it sadly is... )

As for those that I know, a lot of pre-dent students I know seem... "into" it, which I frankly don't understand. It's good that someone enjoys making a bunch of money, though. Computers majors are either foreigners, those weird white kids that just love being weird and using computers, and those ancient guys coming back to get a professional degree.
