Techy People and all and Cyber Security

[bluebooger]

if you're not a tech person , then cyber security may not be for you

take a look at this and be afraid, be very afraid
IP Addressing and Subnetting for New Users - Cisco Systems

but then again, you may be a fast learner

this non-credit course just started today
https://www.coursera.org/course/comnetworks

so maybe you'll want to sign up, watch the videos and get an idea of what networks are and if they're for you


there's also this
Understanding Computers and the Internet / OpenCourseWare

Harvard took a credit course from it's extension school, filmed it and put it up on the web

of course this version is not for credit, but its good for an introduction,
way more introductory than the coursea course

(there are later versions of the Harvard course, but I like this version because in addition to the lectures it also "videos of the week" which are really good)

cosc has a certificate program
Charter Oak State College - Computer Security Certificate

as for teaching and not going into debt, I believe New York has a "free tuition" program, where the state pays for your Master of Science in Teaching/Education but you have to agree to teach in the NYC public system for a 2-3 years after graduating

your state might have something similar
