The next step is to gain credibility - work regular Network tech jobs. You'll probably intern with a pro that has CISSP to learn hands on. Network solutions companies can have a wide range of services to offer customers - building rackmounts to setting up networks - this was the best place to work.
Network with those in the field, as you are doing here. They will help find a security position for you to start in - probably real-time network monitoring.

I don't know what it's like in other countries, but in America getting a job in network security requires a bit more then a degree and an understanding of 'leet speak'
Today, the job market is asking for 5 years of experience in networking and a Bachelors degree in Information Security. Having some certificates like the CISSP, or the LPIC doesn't hurt at all, even the A+ is better to have then to not have.
You should try to remember that when applying for a job, you are not trying to sell yourself so much, as you are trying to sell yourself better then the guy before you
So apply, study, and be persistent... hard work pays off.

Learn to type/spell better.
No offense but the key to selling yourself is good writing and speaking.

You probably want to know some reverse-engineering as well, learn assembly for starters. It's quite essential if you want to understand viruses and the like.
