I realized that the CISSP certification was worthless _while_ I was at
the CISSP certification testing facility approximately 3 years ago. 

After completing the test in a little under an hour, I had a good
feeling that I had passed. Since the test relates to what we all do 9+
hours/day, the questions asked were relatively simple. When I handed the
test to the proctor, he said "So are you just giving up?". When I said
"No, I completed the test", he looked at me as if I were a ghost. That
is when I realized that the CISSP certification would be worthless.

Needless to say, I have never included CISSP in my .sig or business
cards nor do I mention to people that I even have it.
