Like the 100k a year plumbers for networking

I found this article online, and it reminded me of the 100k a year plumber stories that some newspapers published. I'm not sure if it is a blurb to make you sign up to their course. Anyone want to weigh in?

How much programming knowledge/experience is needed? Or is it just purely networking knowledge you would need?

I started coding when I was around 14.. seriously at about 16. I'm 22 now so I got about 8 years experience + a comp science degree. I feel seriously outclassed by some of the guys I know though. This is pretty much entry level and I feel like I still got a lot to learn

I hate coding.

On another note, the guy who runs the hacking course, if he could make so much money then why is he in it training? Sounds strange...

I do something similar. Specialise in Advanced Cryptography. I attack networks all day long for a fortune 500 company. I absolutely love my Job

What sort of background do you have for the work you do?

Why are any academics in training?

The skeptic in me says because they can't hack it in the field.
