Training in project management, risk management, workflow, and an affinity for mountains of paperwork can elevate the candidate above other job applicants. While some lower-level positions may be available to the high school graduate, most positions, and all senior-level positions will require a college degree. The specific course of study pursued can be flexible, however.
Many security administration professionals will come from the more technical professions associated with the mission, having transitioned to an administrative role after demonstrating a knack for this side of the organization. Another group, like many careers in criminal justice, will arrive from tenures in the military. The discipline and attention to detail ingrained by military organizations has proven to produce excellent administrators, and their commitment to the project mission is unquestioned. Expect to earn above average wages after attaining experience in the field.
