Re: Is a career change to Computer Forensics fantasy or can it be reality?

Want to thank all who have commented so far, its good stuff and I'm encouraged 
to continue my effort!

Wayne, below are the podcasts I listen to, only one is Forensics specific 
(CyberSpeak) the others are more to the security side of things.

Ismael, the advice that I got from the Forensics moderator was, "I think you'll 
find that the field of forensics is not cert-oriented.  Your time might be 
better spent choosing a platform you
know well and learning all you can about
forensics on that platform: which tools are available, how they work, how well 
they work,
etc.  Ins+outs of relevant filesystms would be quite helpful.".

Keep the comments and advice coming.

Thanks,

MH
