"Garbage" jobs in Cybersecurity

Everyone knows the red and blue sides, but there are other Cybersecurity jobs, and few people want to do it. The thing is, you have less competition, and it is easier to get into Cybersecurity.
Some jobs are:

Risk and Compliance
Doing risk assessments
Writing policies
vulnerability management analyst
IT Audit

I got the idea from here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtVTPonfm6Q&feature=share David Bombal & Neal Bridges talk about this and much more. It is worth watching it, especially if you have a “special” background. Maybe you grow up in a foster home, very poor, or something like this. You can become a CISO!

Some people think about starting a career in a help desk position and feel it is a “garbage” job. Please do not see it this way. Do you want to see the passion in a help desk position? Watch this: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClMprMgb8WqWEl6Qo_y04Eg

Kevin Apolinario (https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevin-apolinario/ ) is one of the best examples of a high-end help desk supporter. Follow him on LinkedIn to find out more about working at a help desk. I am sure he can work in a unique position with a higher salary, but he loves his work. I worked as an admin, so I know he does admin tasks. With his knowledge, you can go up.

Do you need some job ideas besides red and blue? Naomi Buckwalter shared this picture a while ago on LinkedIn.
