Education for a Cryptologist

Undergrad Degree in: Mathematics and Computer Science
Post Grad: Research Degree
Linguistics: Knowledgeable in more than one language preferably more
Drive: Well informed/Different Perspective/Creative
Research & Development:  Need to be able to see different codes and come up with more difficult and challenging ones for protection

These are just some of the things that are required to become a cryptologist.  Also there is probably some element of talent that is necessary to be especially successful in this field.  Sounds difficult and not fun to me.

  2. This is a well compiled list on skills needed by a cryptologist because not only do you need great math and computing skills but you also have to be able to think outside the box.
