I currently hold a cissp certification. I can say that it helped to propel me towards the 100k jobs. But when it really comes down to it, as soon as I become a candidate for a postition that is 100k + and my resume get put next to a person who has a college degree, I don't even get an email back. I am 27 now and working on a college degree while I currently hold a CNE, CEH, CISSP, SCTA, and MCP certifications. But without the degree these are only getting me so far. Part of the degree shows a bit about your integrity and if you can set a goal and obtain it by following through with the 4 years of work that it takes to get the degree. So in the end if you want more $ and a managerial type position get the degree you can always get a cissp later. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- EARN A MASTER OF SCIENCE IN INFORMATION ASSURANCE - ONLINE The Norwich University program offers unparalleled Infosec management education and the case study affords you unmatched consulting experience.
