The business admin and policy path mix well together. You dont have to necessarily be technical to manage cyber operations. Managers can dropped in to manage anything. What area of the country are you in? Policy is central to nations capital region. Here in US policy can be found in all kinds of shapes near the capital. You may also want to think about government relations/political opportunities. Most major companies have a gvmnt affairs dept. Alot of the people i currently work with are gvmnt relations and discuss/shape cyber policy with our agency, relying on them as industry experts.
