I too am looking at starting a career in IT. I'm currently in school for information systems security. I have searched for job openings online for network security or IT security, however (and rather obviously) they all require experience and certifications on top of having a degree. I have 8 years of experience in a non-IT related field, which will more than likely do me no good :). I was wondering if anyone has advice on a good "starting" career that would provide experience for a future job in IT/Network Security, Pen-Testing, etc.
