Good link... as far as something I am wanting to look into.
I do think the guy was full of bull shit when he said:

the ability to at least read code, and ideally program a little bit

I guess it is all about what you want to specialize in... but still... the guys about two legs and a chode away from having his head up his ass.

I would recommend that anyone considering entering the security field read this piece that ran on Securityfocus today. While by no means comprehensive (it almost entirely omits systems security, concentrating mainly on the network side of things), it does provide an overview of certain basic things you will need to know in order to be able to get a foot in the door.
