His first thought was to go into economics or pursue a degree in business. But it was his mother who encouraged him to pursue a degree in computer science, so he always had something to fall back on. Heeding his mother\u2019s advice, Berman switched gears and invested his academic career into a program with fruitful job prospects. In Berman\u2019s case, this changed his college experience and his career trajectory eventually leading him to his dream of owning a business.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Integrating Business into Computer Science Pursuing College with Business in Sight<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After making the switch to computer science, Berman hit the ground running searching for courses that would fit his unique needs. \u201cI tried some programming classes and I enjoyed it enough to sign up for computer science classes. I stayed because the job opportunities are fantastic,\u201d said Berman.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chapman.edu\/engineering\">Fowler School of Engineering<\/a>, our programs like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/catalog.chapman.edu\/preview_program.php?catoid=42&amp;poid=8077&amp;returnto=2235\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">computer science<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/catalog.chapman.edu\/preview_program.php?catoid=42&amp;poid=8200&amp;returnto=2235\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">information security and policy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> prepare our students to navigate the complex digital landscapes of today\u2019s data-driven world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Amongst the many courses he took, the one that stood out to him the most was taught by instructor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chapman.edu\/engineering\/about\/faculty\/program-faculty\/rene-german.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Rene German M.S.<\/a> In his class Data Structures and Algorithms, German managed the coursework with the same rigidity as a business.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cOne of my teachers here wanted us to learn in a way to understand how our expertise would work in business. And part of that is understanding to meet deadlines and learning that there isn\u2019t a ton of flexibility in that space,\u201d said Berman.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This course resonated with Berman\u2019s specific needs by offering him the perfect combination of engineering and business. This class demonstrated the fundamentals of an engineer\u2019s role in a business. In the years to come, Berman would soon discover how instrumental these lessons were for his career path. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>From Computer Science to Many Cybersecurity Careers <\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The developing field of cybersecurity offers high-salary roles for young professionals. Since more businesses and organizations are adopting technology-driven practices, the higher the demand for cybersecurity roles becomes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Berman\u2019s path after graduation was set with Lockheed Martin as a Cyber Intelligence Analyst, where he handled top-secret documents and analyzed advanced information. From there, Berman moved on to Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory as an Information System Security Officer helping communities and organizations comply with ever-changing data security policies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After spending a few years in the world of cybersecurity, Berman was ready for his next move but knew he needed to reassess his skills before taking the plunge.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThere was a big gap in my skill set and I thought \u2018Okay whatever my next job is, it needs to teach me something new and it needs to offer some new skills\u2019. So, I jumped into cyber sales.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After seven months of serving as the Director of Sales for Goliath Cyber Security Group, along with the knowledge from his engineering courses, Berman gained the confidence to dive into entrepreneurship.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Berman returned to Chapman to share his unique experience of owning his own business and encouraged current engineering students to consider taking unconventional career moves.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>\u00a0Inspired by Knowledge, Founded in Failure<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-18792 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2023\/10\/grayson-berman-small-image.jpg\" alt=\"A young man with dark-framed glasses, standing in front of his presentation. He is holding his phone in one hand, and a water bottle in the other. \" width=\"580\" height=\"321\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Instructor German did not hesitate to invite his former students back to speak with current engineering students. \u201cI knew he was doing a lot of really good things out there in the real world, specifically in the area of cybersecurity\u201d, said German.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As a young professional with an eclectic amount of cybersecurity experience, Berman was eager to give back to his alma mater. He said, \u201cJumping into the field [cybersecurity] I wasn&#8217;t prepared, I didn&#8217;t know what to do. And that\u2019s kind of the case for most students. So, I thought it was a good idea to give back and it\u2019s an opportunity to help those students.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">During his time as a Chapman Berman made an unprecedented decision to change courses. Now, he steps back onto campus prepared to energize students into thinking differently about the field of engineering. With a wealth of knowledge in his back pocket,\u00a0 Berman shared his most unexpected lesson from his time in the cybersecurity workforce. \u201cThe best way to do it is just to go do it. Go make the mistake. Go fail. That\u2019s the best way to learn,\u201d advised Berman<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For more stories about the Fowler School of Engineering\u2019s graduates check out how this <\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/engineering\/2023\/10\/18\/chapman-engineering-alumni-swings-for-major-league-baseball\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chapman Engineering Alumni Swings for Major League Baseball<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cGo make the mistake.
