Somehow I doubt that the 11yo had the required experience - thus they will be blocked in future. They could become an associate, but not a full holder.

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’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.
Disturbing that a BS degree is required. I know a lot of bright
people without degrees. Mostly due to lack of challenge, rode the 90's tech boom, etc.
