    I think I'd be a lawyer or a fireman or a race car driver.  
    Give a hacker an exploit, and they will have access for a day, BUT teach them to phish, and they will have access for the rest of their lives!

    Have: CISSP, CISM, CRISC, CGEIT, ITIL-F

    Law enforcement or a lawyer.  Just so happens I am in law enforcement again, but street cop would probably be the job I show for.  Always a chance to be a lawyer.

    I find that gambling helps pay for the passions of alcohol, cars, and women.

    I'm really curious about this as I'm currently in the middle of my accounting subject

    What do you like about accounting and why did you choose IT instead? There is a lot of demands for accountants and they make good money

    I would have loved to be an astronaut. Otherwise, I'd probably still be in telecoms.

    Honestly, I'd be in the Psychology field. Either as a counselor or ideally doing research as a Ph.D/Psy.D. 

    I got my undergrad in Psychology but was offered a cybersecurity job halfway through my masters because of Army experience... that was almost 5 years ago. Haven't looked back since.
