Good morning everyone,
Background story: I was accepted from the Veterans affair where I be continuing my school and my goal to reach is Information Security Analysts. my career field was law enforcement and due to some disability I can no longer be able to do this. My experience with IT would be back in high school 2009 as web page programming and animation.
Guidance: need help where I can start my education for Information Security Analysts in the Dallas, TX area, like what degree plan I should pursue, should I be taking certification classes as well and where can I begin to start my work field in a entry level for it so I can begin getting experience which include paid jobs or internship or volunteer and most important which school to intend the ones i saw more with my field was university of Dallas which is a private Catholic University and university of Phoenix
Thank you

Most IT degrees will get you in the door with a networking job. Network Security and Networking IT are in my opinion very similar and often the same job role. If you are looking to do more information security you will probably want to get a security focused certification like the Security + or CCSP.
