Do you have any classes online you could recommend? Also, is there any certain degree in college I should get if I want to be a pentester?

Question

I'm sorry if this has been asked before but I am a high school student(sophomore) and am interested in becoming a pentester or something of the like. I live in a small rural town so there's not much of anything for computer courses here.

I think you should have a look at the online training of Offensive Security (http://www.offensive-security.com). They have the WLAN training - WiFu, the typical pentesting training - PWB and one very advanced pentesting training CTB. If you have the possibility to choin them in the US you could also attend the most advanced training in exploit devel - AWE. You can also find lots of quite good trainings on the SANS webseite - https://www.sans.org/. have phun and good luck m-1-k-3
