I'm kicking myself for not going the cyber security route when I was younger. Let's concentrate on coding like everyone else, fuck.
Forensic IT analysis is where it's at. A mate of mine works for a company that does it and if sounds fascinating - recovering data from trashed HDDs (they've got this reconstruction thing that can take pieces of an HDD platter & read it), wiped email servers...he taught me a lot about how unless you physically burn stuff to ashes more often than not there's a chance some data can be recoverable.
More importantly he earns bucket loads.
