I think you can be suited for everything. IT Security is a real big domain, depending on your skills and what you like, you can land different jobs. If you are a person who go to calmly deep dive into problems, you may be interested by security code review, if you're more into quickly understand how things work and try to abuse the default behaviour, you can work in pentest. IT sec is a huge field. Just start learning and you will see what you like... There is no suited for this, even if being curious and working hard help a lot ;)

Feel free to email me (my email is on the exercises' front page), if you need to talk about this ;)

Very much appreciate the reply and thank you for the kind offer of e-mail. Hopefully I'll find time to try your course, e-mail you some feedback and perhaps pick your brain :)

Again OT, you said you taught PHP, where and how did you get into this?

Hope this takes off for you mate, best of luck!

Just did that at school, they needed someone to teach and I got lucky and got selected to do it :)

Thanks ;)
