How to become a pentester

[Andres Rauschecker <webmaster () andresr de>]

Hello guys,

I am going to school yet, but I want to become a pentester in my later life. I've been programming for four years now 
and started to deal with IT-security two years ago. I've asked a lot of people working in IT-business, what they did to 
get their job, but unfortunately I never got to know a pentester.

Because of that, it would be really great if anyone of you could tell me, how he became a pentester.

Thanks in advantage and sorry for my bad English (I'm from Germany),

Andres Rauschecker
