The best way to crack it in security work is to get a job with a good firm where you will be assisting a very experienced security professional, and a good one at that. You will be that persons ***** for two years but will learn a great deal. A lot of people working in security are mediocre at best because the US rolls over and prints the money to keep the complex going and everyone has run off into it. It's just getting too bloated and too expensive. This has diluted the real quality that is out there in the field which is a shame because there is good deal of that and it is needed. The security bubble will blow itself apart from 2012 onwards and a lot of people doing mediocre or marginal work will be left nowhere employment wise. There will be layoffs because the cost is unsustainable. If you are serious about a security career, start thinking 5 years hence.

If it's half as complex or as important as the security people blowing the trumpet like to think it is then there must be some quality people out there. Find them. Work for them. Learn from them.
