Victor Low says he was born in the hospitality field. His parents have been running a Chinese restaurant in a small village in Germany for 36 years. So Low's most recent job as a catering manager in the San Gabriel Valley was a natural progression. But then he got laid off — like so many other Angelenos in the food and hospitality industry — and decided to quit the industry for good. "All my colleagues and me, we got hit so hard by this pandemic," Low said. Now Low, who's 36, is back in school, working on an associate degree in cybersecurity at Pasadena City College. It's thought to be a pandemic-proof field with good wages. And, after only a year of classes, Low expects to have three certificates, in cybersecurity, network administration and help desk/user support.
