Sorry, I forgot to mention that I'd like opinions on the SANS 503 class also. What class would be best for a newbie to take and not feel overwhelmed?

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has opinions on SANS 504. This is the scenario: I've graduated with a degree in computer forensics along with the CCE certification and am wanting to take a class in security that may help me to secure a job in the security/forensics field. I'd prefer not to have to take the Security Essentials 401 class first since I am paying out of pocket and can only afford one class at the moment. So I would like to take a class that is more in depth instead of all around. I do have networking knowledge through a Certificate of Completion in Networking that I did years ago. I was told by several people that it may be best to start out in the security field and then move into forensics unless I decide I like security and decide to stay in it. I have had several informational meetings with head security officers from organizations such as hospitals, colleges, and a few financial companies in my community and have been told that these two classes would be the most beneficial to me regarding first time employment. I'm just wondering if either of these classes would be too difficult for me since I really don't have formal experience within the security field....just security to my own and my friends computers.
Thanks...
