In this day and age it is very important to get your degree. Prior to graduating I was told by my advisor that my degree isn't to show that I am smarter than other people, it is to show that I have been taught how to learn. It tells any potential employer that you have the discipline to try to figure out new things and you should be able to handle new ideas, and different points of views. -----Original Message----- From: listbounce () securityfocus com [mailto:listbounce () securityfocus com] On Behalf Of Derek Fountain Sent: Friday, August 07, 2009 7:30 AM To: pen-test () securityfocus com Subject: Re: To go to University - For the CISSP etc. - Good idea/Bad idea???

Bill gates doesn't have a degree.
Oh yes, that old chestnut. Bill Gates is in his mid-50s, not his late teens like the original poster. Gates grew up in the fledgling computer world of the 1970s when opportunities and expectations were very different to what they are now. It's also probably fair to say that Bill Gates' story isn't that of the typical IT professional. When a youngster asks for guidance on career and education I think the example of someone born in the mid-1950s isn't really relevant. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This list is sponsored by: Information Assurance Certification Review Board Prove to peers and potential employers without a doubt that you can actually do a proper penetration test.
