Glad that's over! Just got word I passed my CISSP test, that's "Certified Informamation Systems Security Professional".
It's funny, as certs in the IT world come in and out of favor, each generation learns from the past. (ISC)2 does everything it can to keep people from being able to just cram or go to a boot camp to learn what they need to know to pass. People saw how worthless the MCSE became with all the paper tigers running around. I had no clue how I did on the test when I walked out, 250 of the most obtuse, obscure, ambiguous questions I had ever seen!
Those of you in IT, what has been your experience with certs, and how valuable do you think they really are?
