RE: CISSP without experience

["Paris E. Stone" <pstone () alhurra com>]

Quite simply, if ISC2 requires 3 years of experience, get the 3 years of
experience.  Take a lower paying job, for now, work your way up.  Then
take and pass the test, obtain your certification, according to their
rules, and then look for those multi-million dollar jobs that require a
CISSP.

And by the way, forward me those high paying CISSP jobs, because I must
just be looking in the wrong place. ;-)

I too am intrested in the same & facing the problem that all the jobs
interviewed for required CISSP but i too lack experience. Can we just
take the CISSP and exam and pass it?

Anyone who has done it?
