There are certain very critical questions that it is important to ask oneself before a major endeavor, especially if there is risk involved:

"How far and how high will I climb this mountain and when will I turn around if the weather changes or if my health or my equipment doesn't hold out?"

"How much money am I willing to risk at this casino before I call it and walk away, no matter what my odds look like in that exact moment?"

And the big one that was discussed here: "What work would I be willing to do in order to earn money that could have significant ramifications in my life and the lives of those around me?"

In some ways, this talk was a reflection and continuation on themes that were covered by another speaker last year at BSidesRDU. I discussed together with the community what the right path might look like for people who are considering their journey through tech, hacking, and the INFOSEC industry.
