This might be the best answer I've ever seen in an AMA.

Hi Yvette!

Is there anything fans from Europe can do to help convince NBC that they're mad for not giving you guys more funding than they do? The outdated ratings system really seems to hurt shows like Community where a lot of the viewers now watch online rather than on TV "live" so to speak.

Yeah... I mean honestly if you hadn't told me I'd have just thought nothing of it. I have a slightly sunken chest on one side, dunno what the cause is (fairly common as far as I know) and your chest looks no stranger than mine, and I don't consider mine particularly strange!

You got no need to be self conscious there :)

Both would certainly work. The thing about IT Security is that you need to have a good knowledgebase for how all the things you're going to be testing/securing work. So you need at least some programming experience, you need a strong understanding of networking, you need to understand webapps, mobile apps, etc etc.

For what it's worth my path was:

Computer Studies -> Professional Developer for a few years -> Nerding about on CTFs/HackThisSite/Vulnhub -> OSCP -> Security Consultant.

Cyber security salaries are very good right now, and will continue to be for some time. Most predictions say job growth is going to outstrip number of qualified individuals for at least the next 2-3 years. Supply and demand.
