Interested in cybersecurity?

Dickie George of the NSA has an interview with govinfosecurity that may have some information useful for people interested in persuing a career in cyber security. From what I've read so far, having (legal) hands on experience in attacking systems, and possibly a degree from a National Center of Academic Excellence College.

Just a note: for anyone interested in a career in government and DoD cyber security, the NSA is the center-of-the-universe for this arena, and most of the real cyber security jobs will therefore be in the D.C./Virginia/Maryland area. Also consider a career in the FBI for domestic cyber security work. The FBI has 50+ offices across the USA, so you won't necessarily be chained to the D.C. area.

I have actually checked out some internships and co-ops for when I get into college with the NSA, and something that I would be interested in doing would be network and or information security. I can't really decide what I want to concentrate my computer engineering major in just yet, but right now it is looking like networking technologies which would be a pretty good fit for the security world in my eyes. After I get my CCNA, I will probaly either go for CCNA security.

so in other words, GREAT POST! I love to hear this kind of stuff!
