ok so here a bit of a strange one. I hold a B.S in Biology and Epidemiology however work in infosec. My resume shows School X BS year- year and School Y BS year-year. in my 12 years working in the field i have yet to have anyone ask me what my degrees were during an interview. It is pretty funny to see peoples faces when they ask after i've been hired. in my opinion degrees really don't matter, you can pretty much buy them now days. Unless you're going to a place such as MIT, CMU or something of that stature all you're learning is theory anyhow does not really help when you get out there in the real world. Most employers just want to see that you have taken the time and made the commitment to get some sort of education. Vinny On Oct 1, 2009, at 4:53 PM, Adrian Crenshaw wrote:
I find myself very disappointed with higher education, price for performance, ethics, etc. I have a BS in CS (I like saying it that way) and am working on an MBA, but their idea of ethics is not my idea of ethics. I'm curious, what degrees do some of you have? I'm interested in finding a job teaching infosec, so if you teach I'd really like to hear what credentials you have.
