I agree. Generally when someone says they are above what most people would
consider to be useful training/school, I write them off as one of those
people who are so full of themselves that it makes me want to vomit. The key
there is the "most people would consider to be useful", which CISSP is not.
Then again, neither is MCSE but it helped me get my first few jobs when I
moved to California 7 years ago, and I actually learned a number of things
from that training. Contradictory or just confused? You decide ;)
