IT Security Career Change Mid-Career?

Already have the GM - it's mailing out to me next week. Also, not 100% sure I will go into IT, just looking at options right now - not making decisions.

+1, it's not that hard to just get certifications either, as upper management actually don't get their "hands and feet" wet too much in any industry. When you're GM or higher, it's all on moving the company vision forward, not to look at the simplest individual issues. That's my perception anyways, others think diff.
GM/VP are the brains in the company, delegating tasks to managers/subordinates - individuals who are probably more qualified in programming/development, or IT Security for that matter.
