Academy of Achievement

Free archive of long interviews with scientists, writers, athletes, business founders and public figures about how their careers actually unfolded.

From the site: The Academy of Achievement brings young leaders face-to-face with the extraordinary visionaries and pioneers who have helped shape our world.

Why I recommend it: Read these when you need evidence that careers are not straight lines. The interviews are long and unedited enough to be useful rather than inspirational filler.

Marcus Hutchins

Site and writing of security researcher Marcus Hutchins, known for stopping the WannaCry ransomware attack — malware analysis, security explainers and reflections from an unconventional path into cybersecurity.

Why I recommend it: A strong example of a self-taught technical career — worth following if you are breaking into security without a degree.
