Actually, banks and financial institutions usually have a huge team dedicated to it security. Others such as kpmg, pwc have advisory depts on it security and system as well. These are well paying jobs.

However, ask urself what's ur competitive advantages? U will have to compete with pple from local uni and private uni with good results to get an entry level job. Do u think u are up for it? If not, you will need to settle for a lower pay. If so, are u okay with it? If u are not okay with low pay and high competition, stick with ur current career path, unless u have 0 int.

Anyway, a cruel reality-- sometimes even if u settle for a much lower pay, employers might still not want to employ u. So give some careful thought before u make the change.
