Oh boy, here comes a wall of text. Sorry 'bout that. So you're in a special position right now, where you have every option available for you.

Re: Best bachelor's degree to get to work in IT/ entry level IT pay?
Thanks for your service. I would recommend getting right to work, and doing the school on your own time in the background while you advance. *Ahem* You're not entry level.

For example, lets say you have to reformat a computer and after returning it, a non-computer literate person calls up asking why their .pdf files won't open. It's a quick fix but assume that for every 10 jobs you do, you… -

There is two ways to get into IT Security Field. The first way is to grab as many IT Security Certs as you can while your young or new to your job.
