Cybersecurity students want quick fixes. Elite professionals read daily. The difference? Deep analytical thinking that only comes from serious reading habits. From military technical manuals to the NSA Rainbow Series, how reading shaped my career: linkedin.com/pulse/power-re…

Talked job scams on @WEWS with @brookbanktv. Quick tip for new grads: if they ask for upfront payment for "equipment" or promise big money with no interview, keep looking. Your university career services can help verify legitimate opportunities. #JobSafety #RecentGrads
