forensic computing

I assume by forensic computing you mean assisting law enforcement with recovering
relevant data from computers related to criminal investigations? That sounds
to me like pretty high-end stuff (needing quite a bit of background experience
to overcome various hardware/software obstacles). You might want to broaden
your horizon to "security consultant" and check out cramsession.com or cissp.com
for job/qualification-type info. Don't try to run before you learn how to
crawl...
