    If you want to be well off, you should try to find a corner of the security market that isn't crowded, somewhere were you can pretty much charge what you like, this gives you the option to undercut who ever is already doing this. Also, make sure it is something you enjoy, otherwise you'll be misserable.

    Getting more specific:

    1st I have been around for a while but have been in generalist roles

    2nd the organisation I am in appoints IT bods at random. quite literally you are doing web apps one week and IT security the next. However, having tasted the apple, I like to take more bites.

    3rd I am good at project management or at least I turn everything into a project and manage it that way whether my manager thinks it is a project or not

    4th I like the tech stuff but don't do detail well. i.e. I would prefer to design a system or write a guidance document for a national organisation than change a firewall configuration.

    Any ideas?
    No one can foresee the consequences of being clever.

    The best advice I could give has already been said, don't specialise... and experience is very valuable to an employer, "you are doing web apps one week and IT security the next" that should be a good thing
