If you have or can obtain a security clearance, there are tons of jobs in with the government and with government contractors in the Colorado Springs area. The Air Force currently has an IT management position open that pays up to 100K per year. Look at some of the openings on usajobs.gov and see what the requirements are. Lots of demand for IT Security, it pays well and is not really that hard to learn.
