Yeah, back when I was in college I was thinking about pursuing cyber security, but a little research quickly indicated that I'd most likely end up making software that helps 3rd World Despots better silence critics.

Currently I work on one of the myriads of markets that isn't the NYSE and while the problems are really interesting it's hard to feel right about what essentially amounts to helping HFT and my general distaste for the fact that it's legalized gambling that masquerades as a retirement strategy.
