studding Network Communications Management
I tried studding my management once, when I was young, I got studded right back and it really, really hurt....

To be any good in computer security or programming or network admin or any computer related profession one of the keys to your success will always be attention to detail... It was just a typo... but this post is just making a point that is important.

Learning how to program teaches you the "logic" of the computer which is the key to the whole system. You don't have to be some brilliant programmer but you need to get to a point where you are proficient in a given language and know what can and can't be done, (or can't be easily). With that, and the additional knowledge of how the computer itself works, the network works, how people work and bad people work - again without having a _huge_ depth of knowledge in any particular field - will help you no end.

Then... learn how to be suspicious.... Distrust everything unless it is verified by a second trustable source. This usually comes with age and a tarnished view of the world but it can be learned.

Then move into the legal area and the forensics area. You won't be good there without the grounding above. Then learn the procedures that are successful in forensics and question them and try to improve them.

Forensics, in many ways, is the most difficult discipline in computers today. Mainly because the law lags so far behind and when that happens all it takes is a more convincing witness with "potentially viable" explanations to take all you hard work and throw it in the trash....

Good luck... We need good Computer Forensic Scientists....
