I just received a phone call and I've received an offer for a Security Analyst position for a Fortune 150 company in the financial industry. Although the pay is low, being a 3 month contract-to-hire position, it'll provide me with some excellent opportunity to get my hands dirty in InfoSec. I've been in IT for roughly 9 months and I couldn't have done it without you guys and WGU.

Hooray!
