How to get into Network Security

I like this article, but it’s kind of spooky. It follows my own career path fairly closely. I started as a desktop support technician, became the manager of a small network, got my B.S. in Information Systems Management, and then pursued the CCNA and CISSP. The first certificate was to give me the base of knowledge I needed to work in the field, the second was a validation of what I already knew. I guess the next thing I need to do is go back to coding. I never did like coding much, but I at least need to brush up on my skills of reading other people’s code.
What path did you take, or are you taking, to get into Network Security?
