Re: CISSP without experience

["Andre Derek Protas" <randori82 () hotmail com>]

I had the same problem, although now I meet the req's with my degree.  When 
I spoke with the ISC rep, he was trying to sell me on the courses, so I was 
able to dig a little deeper on the "audit".  He said, on average, 8% of 
their passing class gets audited.  Sometimes, people do not meet the hartd 
req's though, but they have the ability to demonstrate "experience" via 
knowledge.  He was a little vague, but if you were to have a few published 
white papers, or your named tacked onto some open source sec projects, this 
could be helpful.

Again, this is from a sales rep, so take it for what it's worth.

For CISSP studying, I suggest http://www.cccure.org/.
