I have been enrolled in a Information Security Masters which I attend part time. The master's is very technical (under the CS dept.) with a lot of programming. The problem I have is a lot of jobs I have been seeing in security seem to be more managerial/pencil pusher. My question is if I want to remain technical will I do better not continuing to pursue a degree in Information Security?"
