I've been reading this thread for the last several days. Here are my thoughts: Although I do not have my CISSP (yet), it is prudent to say the CISSP carries its weight well. However, the experience and skills knowledge has to be there. This isn't an MSCE, folks. There is no way around this unless you've got a 175 IQ and have a passion for security through book absorption. Even then, you don't have the experience/skills to quantify the knowledge. Experience/skills is key. Additionally, I have to agree with Eric and a few others. There are those of us, like myself, who have a passion for security. That, in itself, leads to a continued learning process and evolution to stay on top. This includes going to training sessions to reading the latest news daily to higher education. I, myself, will be graduating with a Masters in Homeland Security, minoring in Information Security, this winter. This will also include getting my CISSP, and learning Arabic and Chinese before the end of 2007. If I have time, I'll get the CISA. I do this for the love of what I do and the protection of my company. Lose this, and you're dead in the water, or shouldn't be in the industry.

One point that has not yet been made in this thread is that through obtaining certifications and or additional/advanced degrees, an individual demonstrates the willingness to continue learning and the ability to do so. Go for it! Eric
