In many areas of infosec, for entry level jobs, you’ll be competitive if you have a solid understanding (not mastery) of: - Systems (Windows, Linux) - Networking - Programming / Scripting - Web Applications - Threat Modeling (Attack Types, Defense Mitigations)

You don’t need prior experience in another field anymore for some entry level areas! If you do have experience, great! You can definitely apply it. But it’s not required if you have some knowedge through study.
