Is my dream of working in cybersecurity a realistic one?

 

I’m halfway through reading the latest book in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series and it’s really making me think about pursuing my dream job in cybersecurity – however unrealistic. While I dabbled a little in programming at high school I did not seriously learn any language and have been working in sales since graduating five years ago. I love the idea of pitting your wits against hackers and believe I have the passion to pursue this career. But how do I even start and would I have to go back to university to get a computer science degree?
