Networking is a big help for this course aswell as computer science and architecture (how all the parts work together, processor, memory, OS etc...) you will want a good understanding off Linux and some programming.
At bare minimum you want to have your N+ and the A+ and a year or two of experience to back it up. The programming, just learn a bit of C++ or something, 6 months will have that. And then learn abit of Linux. Replace your windows machine with Linux and use that for a few months. After you have all that experience and knowledge you will be well equiped for the course. Alot of people go into it and then don't fully understand whats going on because they didnt have enough background knowledge. Then when they fail the test they probably wont sit it again. 23 people from the place I used to work (they were all computer technicians) all took that course and 9 of them failed it. From what I remember most failed because of their lack of experience with Linux.
A "bad hacker" does things for personal gain, usually money, while an "ethical hacker: does what they do for the betterment of mankind. It depends on your morals, but most people would rather be good than rich.

Ethical hacking is where you are hired by a company and you attempt to hack into their system to expose flaws, which are then fixed before a real hacker gets in. You need good computer skills and have to take an ethical hacking course.
The minimum qualification to become a white hat hacker is becoming a Certified Ethical Hacker. This is a certified credential from the EC-Council for people who want to be ethical hackers.

I would recommend the certified ethical hacker then take the advance ethical hacker course. These two combined would get you to the top of the industry and can easily get you big bucks.
