It all depends on where you stand and what your principles are. If you really think about the word Hacking most people think about the bad stuff like someone putting a virus on there computer or stealing there information.

In reality hacking is a good thing. We would not be where we are today with out people hacking computer systems. Upgrades are created after someone somewhere hacked the system and found a flaw. It then gets reported and fixed.

This is where companies should come in and hire more hackers that way its done in a ethical way. It then becomes legit if a person is hired to hack a system for a company and fix the errors i.e. Ethical Hacking. or would you perhaps call them technical engineers. pretty much the same thing just different titles. At least its how i view things.

If one is looking for a job in this field its not easy. You have to have a passion for technology and lots of patients. As you do not hack a system in seconds or know how to with a snap of a finger. It takes knowledge. You either learn it on your own though vast research and reading or you go to school.

It takes one who wants to learn a position for IT Security and patients.
