I would also say it depends on whether you like the stuff. Some people really like fiddling with security procedures, and some people despise it (same could be said for R/S topics). I know it sounds trite, but I would advise anybody against doing something they despise, even if there is money to be made.
So the next question is how do you know whether you will like security or not? Some simple tests may do. If you are interested in all the stories about security lately (Microsoft worms, events related to Sept. 11, etc.), then that is a good sign. If you are really interested in how encryption and authentication really work, down to the PDU level, then that is a really good sign. On the other hand, maybe you find it all boring, and there's nothing wrong with admitting that to yourself. There is no law that says that you must be interested in everything. Everybody here has a certain topic that just bores them to tears. While I like networking, I can think of a few networking subspecialties that just put me to sleep in a Sunday minute.
