Help wanted with IT Masters Courses

Hi guys,

I have been a bit lost of late, and thought that I would turn to the tech boards of Toms Hardware to once again help me find my direction.

I have a Degree in Criminology, but my work experience and passion lies in computers/IT (just a lowly Desktop Support 'analyst' at the moment).

Anyhow, I wanted to combine my degree and my passion, and with the recent surge in Cybercrime thought that I would get some more education while everyone else is participating in a recession. I am asking you because I suspect many of you work in IT related fields.

I have 3 questions

1. I have been thinking of Forensic IT as a Masters, and I have been looking at a particular conversion course that backfills some of the knowledge I might not have given the fact that I do not have a CompSci degree. Is this a good field to go into? What are the job opportunities and pay like?

2. I would also really like to end up working for a bank or financial institutions Fraud team, I'm sure its not as exciting as it sounds, but I bet its more exciting than your average job. What would be the best Masters for me to do to enter this kind of career?

3. Are any of you actually in a cybercrime related field that would be willing to answer some more specific questions I have?

Thanks very much in advance guys, its been a while since I have posted here, I hope the community is still as friendly and useful as it was back in the day (flattery will get you everywhere, righty?)
