"I'm thrilled to hang out my shingle and pour my passion for the written word into each one of my projects," said Bell. "I have been blessed to be able to partner with world-changing authors from Matthew West and Missy Robertson to Dr. Kevin Leman and Lisa Bevere, and I look forward to continuing my work on behalf of a wide range of new clients through the launch of my agency."

This government will feel confirmed in its beliefs, comforted by the numbers, vindicated (chứng minh, minh oan) against any criticisms the likes of me might have had to offer. It will be determined to deliver more of the same. It will “green the economy” the same way it “saved newspapers” and “launched superclusters,” by hosing billions of dollars hither and yon. It will execute an end run around The Resistance by working with big-city mayors and big business. If you’re in the market for a new career, you need to hurry up and hang out your shingle as a clean-tech consultant, because this government just loves to aim the money hose wherever the right kind of hired expert points.

A big trouble area -- and this will sound counterintuitive (phản trực giác, khác thường) at first -- is cybersecurity (an ninh mạng) has become too popular. Anytime something becomes too popular, lots of people rush to it that may not be qualified. The number of people touting themselves as penetration (sự thâm nhập, xuyên qua) testers or forensic analysts (người phân tích pháp lý) that don't have even rudimentary (sơ đẳng, bước đầu) skills is quite high. One issue is there's no loss -- it's not like being an electrical engineer, where you need a professional engineering license, or medical doctor or attorney. You can hang out your shingle today saying you're a penetration tester or security specialist.
