It’s that time of the year again, where students who are eligible to further their studies enroll to college and university. My nephew who are into IT Security has been crossing his fingers hoping that this time he will get a place in any local college to further his studies to undergraduate.
I wonder what it will be like when my son grows up and the teacher at his school asks what he wants to be..hehe! Will he want to be a Certified Ethical Hacker?
Don’t be surprised since these bunch of geeks actually earn a lot. Survey done in 2007 shows that the top 50 percent of these computer scientists earned between $97,970 and $123,900.
What is ethical hacker actually?
They are actually computer scientist that works as a security specialist, forensic investigator, or network defense architect for corporations, the government, and law enforcement agencies to help prevent hacking or to track down perpetrators.
You might have some hacking skills (developed on your own), added that with a bachelor’s degree in computer science or information technology, plus an additional online college training in network security and there you are, able to demand a higher salary as your skills are indispensable to the company..heh!
