    The certifications from the NSA might help.

    My master of software engineering is in Information Assurance and Computer/Network Security.

    Locate schools that are a ceritifed NSA Center of Academic Excellence.

    ita just an area that interests me. I want to work as a Technicain for a few years first and develop a solid foundation for my future plans. Whilst workig,I can get any other qualifications needed. I was thinking of getting my HNC in Sept. then move on to a degree, and yeah it pays very well.

    A trend is developing that use to be the norm in the business right now, that is it's better and cheaper to hire a person with a masters degree in computer science, and then spend the money to train him/her for the specific needs that are needed for that company..

    we've seen it currently even in this field..
