Re: How did you become a security experts?

Help others.

Nothing substitutes for a curious mind or an interest in the technology, but helping others is what pushes you to learn in areas you would not necessarily choose on your own.
    •look at a firewall log and see if you can characterize what's going on.

    •Help somebody free a machine of spyware (i.e., hone your Hijack This! skills)

    •Post a review of a security program you've discovered.
and so on.

All of these things add to both your knowledge and your good karma.
