>> Why isn't it in all career fields?
It's not that you just would get a degree in cybersecurity.
If your degree is in education, there needs to be a cybersecurity piece of this
because you're going to be the one talking to kids.
If you're going to be teaching eighth grade or second grade or third grade,
you need to understand cyberspace at a point where you can talk about it.
Just like you talk about American History, just like you teach math,
just like you teach anything else.
But, other even engineering principles, legal, I mean the career fields are wide open.
All need some cybersecurity in there.
So, again, it's a wide open field for any college or university to jump into.
It doesn't just have to be the technical schools.
I think this is where UMUC is really getting, you know, an advantage here is
because they have a wide course curriculum, big audience in other words.
And this applies to all.
>> So, when I was in college, I had to take Western Civilization.
I think every freshman in every college needs a cybersecurity course.
Absolutely.
>> And UMUC has a great program, we're all supporters of the program.
I also work with almost every university
in the local area here including some not in the local area.
But to be one of the most important things is making our career field look attractive
to people who are of the age where they're thinking about what kind of careers they want.
So, I'd like to see it much more of a pull of people into the community,
as opposed to somebody trying to push people into the community.
Because that probably won't be nearly as successful, but if we make what we look--
if we make what we do look fun and look exciting and look important,
I think it will attract more people into the field.
So, I think that's very important.
