Cybersecurity career path. A path has a start, a direction and a destination. The assessment gives the direction, the career pages the destination, and the STEM Farm track the start at zero. Information security analysts are projected to grow 29% by 2034. The work runs on skepticism as a reflex, composure during an incident, detail, and persistence against an adversary who is also persistent.

Questions people ask
How is a "cybersecurity career path" different from a personality type test?
A type test gives you a label. STEM Compass gives you a profile on fifteen working traits and eight kinds of impact, then a directional match against each career — a number you can explain, not a letter code.
Does it cost anything?
No. The full assessment is open at tienesesto.org/stem-assessment, and every result links to a STEM Farm track that starts from zero.
