When I was going to tech school, I was really interested in learning about gsm encryption. We live in an ever changing technological world and I thought that it would be good business sense to keep on top of all the newer security features that were offered in the electronics that I would one day be building.
I decided to take extra classes just to learn more about encryption software. I thought it certainly would not hurt when it came time for me to look for a job. A potential employer would most likely be impressed at my knowledge in the field.
I was right. I was hired based on my knowledge of phone encryption. In fact, I spent a lot more time coming up with software plans for the company rather than building the actual phones. I ended up with a pretty sweet job and I now officially have my own office.
