Most people start out in something more specific like pc support, then move to networking and then to security. I started out building and repairing computers at a store, then got my mcse cert and mcsd and went into software development. I have had security oriented roles forthepastten years unmixed capacities being exposed to it so it's now a differentiator for me.
It's also interesting. And with all the people in the world who hate us in the us,there are govt opportunities opening up in homeland security all over the place.
That is really cool... makes me think of Stuxnet. My guess is that there will be HUGE demand and really cool opportunities to protect our country through technology. Very interesting combining homeland security + IS
