Information Security Analyst Career Paper

Once I rated each career and calculated their weighted scores, I found that Information Security Analyst was the best career for me. This is highlighted green in Figure 1. Information Security Analyst had the highest weighted score and the second highest score was for MCSE. I was surprised at these results because I had originally thought Film Director would win.

MCSEs should attempt to work with Microsoft in an attempt to improve the privacy issues with Windows
