I went to a mid level business school in the Midwest. Their IT program had a few segments. One was security. The difference was basically just one course on pen testing. I learned more about security in the CS courses they didnt recommend I take. You don't need college, what you need is a desire to learn everyday. |

This is true, but in my opinion this advice misses the point.
Of course, if you are older and finally developed this skill, you don't need anything more. However, the questioner seems to be on the beginning of this journey.
Recommending "just learn everyday" is like telling fat people to exercise and not to eat too much. Of course that's true, but misses the point: How to get there?
Having people around you who motivate you to learn, who know and acknowledge what you are doing, and who are willing (and paid for) to help you if you get stuck - this is exactly what young and/or inexperienced people need, and a very good starting point until they are finally able to get along with the internet and nobody's assistance anymore.
