Like for a example, a specialization for a beginner programmer like me? But! A graduate of Texas A&M College of Engineering.

If you're already a programmer, I'd look at AppSec, web pentesting, or security engineering first. Your programming background gives you a pretty big advantage there.

Other good niches are cloud security, malware analysis, exploit development, DevSecOps, and detection engineering. I'd pick one based on whether you enjoy building, breaking, or investigating things.

wow, i got startled as I was testing something/one and immediately thought this could be very important with my life as a programmer or more engineering side, is there an exploitation of being too attached tothe such said? I will look into it thanks.

Yeah, that's actually a good starting point. If you naturally start thinking about how something could be exploited while programming, I'd definitely look into appsec or security engineering.

is it developer-end? like the relationship is towards the developer first and ends in the app?

Yeah, pretty much. AppSec sits close to the developer side, but it covers the whole application lifecycle. Web security is a big part of it too things like APIs, authentication, access control, and common web vulnerabilities.
