I'm pretty sure that CISSP only requires an AS with 3-4 years exp.
I'm not sure about the SANS mentor class though

I was going to take the SANS mentor class for the CISSP. But I have just discovered that they are requiring a B.S. degree, 
which I don't have. I have been in the I.T. field as a sys admin/telecommunications/pseudo security person for 10 years 
now. I have achieved SANS silver GCIH and CGNA in the past year and a SCP (snort certified professional).
I don&#8217;t have a B.S. because I decided to be a chef,a nd got a culinary arts degree. I did that for 15+yeard and 
made it to my goal, but I make much more today than I did as a restaurateur.

So people, should I continue to peruse the SANS track, or somehow get that B.S and get the CISSP eventually? I see many 
job postings that are asking for CISSP certs.
