Momoko and I meet weekly with Little Kat to discuss college. Now that his summer community college class is over, we talk more about the future. Specifically we talk about his 4 year college program, degree track, and subsequent career. We gave him an action item last week to research Indeed for job details for his intended career.
Little Kat located three job titles surrounding the computer foresics industry. There were only a total of 50 entry level jobs available locally. The starting pay was good. Most needed at least one technical ceritication. Some wanted experience and/or a polygraph. There was a mix of degrees required for the jobs.
I was a bit concerned about the total number of jobs available. Luckily Little Kat has decided on a cybersecurity track. That field has a lot of other more general jobs that he could qualify for. Still, I think we need to think hard about what goals Little Kat is shooting for. And we should identify steps needed to increase his probably of success a landing a good job.
