Everywhere you turn, there's an article about hacking, or spying or big-data, or privacy or another data breach. Obama actually called out cyberwars in his state of the union message, and virtually every fortune 500 has open positions on their security teams.

Get into InfoSec ... as a generalist: CISSP, CISM, as a specialist, GIAC, CRISC, etc.

I worked crypto/comms for DOD, and this was a natural for me.

Best of luck,

I ultimately want to work in the security arena, it has been my favorite topic.

I also hold a TS/SCI security clearance so that is in my favor for such a job. But how do I get started with a job in that field? If a company was willing to take me on because I learn fast, that would be great, but how do I find something like that?
