Same principle as a former burglar who now installs security systems or a former soldier who now works as a bodyguard. You've got the skills, you just want to use them in a different way!
Is there any way to break into the field without being paid garbage? Are there part time options somewhere? Freelancing? Something so I can get that delicious xp to support my degree?

I've never been a black hat, so I'll never be a white one. Maybe a white diaper. But I think I've missed out, I would be very interested in this stuff, but nah, I'm too old for this shit.
Taking a network fundamentals class right now and the last part of the module was network security, which I thought would be interesting. I couldn't focus on it at all. It's weird when you realize that something you thought would be cool can't hold your focus.
I generally blame the instructors when that happens. I've taken classes on the most menial subjects that were great because the instructor was great. Almost anything can be enjoyable to learn if you have the right teacher.
It's one of those things that sounds cool and fun, then you realize it's mostly just paper work and reading logs.
