The benefit of technology is that if you have the energy to learn, history doesn't matter much. All this shit is obsolete in 10 years. Experience gets you knowledge of patterns and methods, but the content changes so often that you can catch up relatively quickly (at least in the context of a career).
Security, unlike many things, can be freelanced in your spare time: many companies offer bounties. So just go in and figure out how things work, and try to break them. If you find something, submit a bug report, and who knows, you may pick up a few grand on a security bounty. Land a few of those, and getting an interview for a full time job should be relatively easy.
