Would recommend getting a job doing what you've already done before trying to break into the IT security field. 1. Getting a job. Know anyone you used to work with that is now at a fairly large company? 2. Getting into IT security. Ever considered going into one of the bug bounty programs, e.g. for Facebook, etc...? That'd be a good thing to put on your resume, as well as giving you some money.
