Heh, most information security professionals don't have any sort of IT degree, nor indeed do they have any sort of IT experience. Computer is a four letter word in this sector. So on the one hand, you fit right in with no IT degree (in fact having an IT degree works against you...you won't get interviews if a computing degree is on your CV), but on the other, you won't be in an IT field either. Surprising? It shouldn't be really, considering the daily news headlines.
