That will get you "into" government, the same way swimming in shark infested waters with a fresh hamhock tied around you neck will get you "into" marine biology. LMFAO!
Considering your statement about college, I have a few suggestions based on an assumption of your age. I could be WAY off, so apologies if I am.
[list=1][*]You could enlist and get a Clearance. That will just about wrap up your likelyhood to be hired doing something related to IA if you have training in the subject matter. In my personal experience, job decisions come down to the drool-factor.
Let me explain: given 2 candidates for a position, the candidate with hands on experience, training, recommendations, and the right attitude, but lacking a security clearance, will ONLY win the job if the other candidate, lacking all qualifications except a clearance, cannot control their drooling enough to keep from damaging equipment on the job. Seriously; guys fresh out of the Air Force with no experience in my direct field can beat me every day for jobs that I've been doing for 10 years, if it comes to a clearance. Companies are not willing to pay for the process if they can hire someone to fill the slot half assed, but they can show the req was filled and the work is being done to SOME degree. (No, I'm not bitter, damnit.)
[*]Network. Get to know people working in the industry, in the parts you want to be in (Gov't sector). Join your local ISSA, ISACA, ASIS, etc. chapters. Go to conferences. Northrup Grumman is one of the largest Gov't contracting companies in the nation; they are who you'd want to get picked up by, with no clearance or experience, cuz they are more likely than most to get those things for you.
[*]Prayer. Hey, it worked for George W. Shrub Jr.[/list=1]
