What are ways to gain skills as a securiy researcher (computer/network security)? What kind of salary/career?

squishydonut asked:

I have a programming background, but I would like to know what areas to focus on to have a wide range of skills to draw from. I want to consult eventually. Aiming for flexibility, mass appeal for the market, and pay.

The salary/remuneration for a particular job is the market value for a particular profession and designation at the city/town where the office is located. Job postings at websites like Monster, Yahoo HotJobs and Careerbuilder carry information about salaries. The Govt Dept of Labor, (www.bls.gov) Bureau of statistics has information about median salaries for different professions and details of additional compensation offered. Other online resources are salary.com and payscale. Your salary will also depend on your educational qualification and how you handle your career.
