I think you forgot to put malware author on that list.

I don't really care which hacker I'd prefer to be... as long as I'm making money I don't care.

Pretty good summary of terminology. However, in my opinion, there isn't such a thing as white hat hackers.

I'm intrigued by this. What do you mean? I'm sure the people who make money as penetration testers would beg to differ...

All white hats are really just gray hats. To learn any thing you have to cross that line at some point.

White Hat, basically. I do not distribute viruses but I like to stop them :)

Are those certifications legit and widely accepted? I am currently a major in Computer Science, so I don't know if a certification would help me out in the long end.

We only have 2 or 3 computer security classes at my college, but we do have a Masters in Computer Security. I'm still not sure if I want to go to grad school yet.

Are there jobs for this, or is it mostly contractual?

[Basics.]

I'd go for a grey hat, don't wanna be a white hat and don't wanna be a black hat :D

Yes. I agree with this. I was about to post the same idea.

Isn't a script kiddie suppose to be refering something about coding?

What we call new people here in hacking are called beginners.
And if we have a person that is annoying and new.. We call them a lamer.
