Think you need some experience before you can get CISSP -----Original Message----- From: listbounce () securityfocus com [mailto:listbounce () securityfocus com] On Behalf Of fhlipZero () gmail com Sent: Tuesday, July 22, 2008 12:58 AM To: security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: College Courses for Info Sec or Certificates or Both? Hello list I am just about to start my first two years of classes at a community college with Criminal Justice/Info Security being my major for an associates degree then I'll be transferring out to a four year. I am confused about a few things. I plan on getting a few certs under my belt during this first year, hopefully CISSP or Security+, Network+, A+(is this even looked at anymore) and whatever else I can find a test for. Now if I would get some of these, would it be a waste of time and money to get my four year or would these and experience in the field be sufficient. As far as I can tell from the posts I followed on the job opportunities list, a BS degree or equivalent experience is required and certs are a resume builder but not required. So lists opinion, should I stick with the four year or get my associates, certs, and jump into the field? Thanks, Phil
