I have a bachelor of science in mathematics, and i have burned myself out teaching.  I would like to come over the computer security world, really interested in CEH, but i have no idea about my next step.  I've looked into Master's Degrees, certifications, and I have no idea what route to take.  I would say I'm fairly knowledgeable in the fields of HTML5, Javascript, Python, and beginning knowledge in MySQL and C++.   Have used backtracker, and built my own web pages.   So what is my next step..........................  Thank you for your time

I think this is the first time I've heard of someone trying to get into InfoSec to avoid burnout

It seems like your current knowledge/skills would work well for some type of web application position, but you will need to get familiar with server side languages as well (PHP, ASP.NET, Java, etc.).

It's difficult to go right into a security role with no prior IT and/or development experience, so you would probably be better off trying to land a more general position and then work your way into security over time.

What would I have to do for that field?

I feel your pain. Not a mathematics expert, I've been creating web-based training for a large global PC hardware company for 13 years, and recently went into training SaaS applications for a different company. But in the background I've developed an insane curiosity for security. Not sure if I can start a different career at this age (turning 50 this year) but I'm going to do it anyway. Goal is to attain the CEH cert to start at base level as a pen tester, and have only self-paced video training programs from Career Academy and CBT Nuggets, and still a complete sub-noob at the moment but learning as quickly as I can.
I don't want to do it to make a ton of money, I want the challenge. Anyone start this as late as I am? I feel like almost everyone I talk to has been doing it since they were kids. Big late start, still gonna do it though.  Has anyone here taken the Hacker dojo material, and if so what did you think of it? Considering purchasing for access to the test lab. Also, if anyone knows of a good tutorial on setting up a test lab using VMware Workstation I'd greatly appreciate a link. Thanks! And good luck greendude.
