Got a degree!..now where to?? Another security Q)

nellocon

Hi guys,
Ok so im on my way to getting my degree. its a degree in Business Information Systems. Ok so i know its been said a million times but i want to go into infosec...possibly because my degree in BIS typically puts me in a position to be a Business Analyst, therefore i wouldlike to go into Security Consultant/Analyst.

Can anybody direct me the right way? What certs should i go for as my degree had virtually no security topics and only one on networking...

im thinking Security+ for a basic understanding...What kind of job should i look to get then, obviously i cant go straight into security so should i go work as a business analyst for a while or what.....???

Any help is greatly appreciated guys

Regards,

You should probably go for what ever you like. Like you said the chances of you getting a job in info sec with zero experience are pretty low. Security is a large diverse feild like any other and there are many directions you could go.
