Translating your RL job to EVE

Yargok, who writes the excellently-named blog Wherever I May Roam, had a great post idea about discussing your RL job in EVE terms. So, how would your exact job look, translated into EVE?

In my job, I’d work for some financial-industry megacorp, monitoring our portion of the fluid router network for security violations or attempts to breach our network. I’d spend time poring through the connection and transaction data, all to protect the corporation’s net from folks trying to run codebreakers on our data systems. And I’d frequently work with the CONCORD CRC in order to coordinate threat response and share intel on the sorts of activity we’re seeing or might see. Yes, the anti-explorer, that would be me.

This probably explains why I play the sort of character I do: escapism, the anti-reality…
