Strong networking background, good developer background, good investigative/forensic skills/background, high level security certifications (from GIAC, etc.)
And opportunities of course (Rathji jokes but black to white-hat hacking might actually be a way). The guy I know makes 300K working for a US gov't contractor with only a high-school diploma. I've considered this a couple times.
