It is if that's what you love then it's a good career. If you are only going into Comp Security because you read some article that the jobs and money are going in that direction, which they are, then don't do it. You have to love it or you will wind up like 2/3rds of Americans in jobs they hate. Computer jobs although highly paid are 24/7 and on-call as well - if you want a M-F 9 to 5 job you might want something else. But even if you get a degree in CIS doesn't mean you can't change career paths. Being a recent college graduate will make you desired by many different types of employers. While studying for my Bachelors in Computer Science I got a paid intern job in a museum as a Planetarium Instructor.
