<p>What major would I have to pursue if I want to be involved in computer security (viruses, worms, etc...)</p>
<p>CompSci?(10char)</p>
<p>how hard is it to find/land a job that actually deals with security issues?</p>
<p>In today's world, not very hard at all.</p>
<p>Two more questions:</p>
<ol>
<li>how is the pay compared to other engineers?</li>
<li>is outsourcing a real concern, or is it overblown?</li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks alot.</p>
<p>Computer Science would be the best bet--maybe Software/Computer Engineering.</p>
<p>I'm sure that software companies or financial firms are looking to hire specialists to defend from attacks and if not, you can always become a hacker and "offer' your services :)</p>
<p>Outsourcing security techniques? Are you kidding? :)</p>
