Need Help

I would really like to work within security in the I.T industry,
though I am not sure what my next step should be.

I can not afford a security course at this point in time. I have
been reading books and catching up with security tips as
much as I can from the Internet. Though I feel I can not go
any further then where I am right now.

I believe I need to start getting some real practice in keeping
the hackers out and scanning a network for vulnerabilities.
Though I do not want to scan any network on the Internet as
it would be classed as hacking activity.

I will give all my details (IP, OS etc..) to the people of the host.

If you could please help me out with the best way for myself
to be able to put my skills into practice it would be very much
appreciated.
