My guess is that the vast majority of cissp's do NOT have the prerequisite
when they get their cert - and the certifying authority KNOWS THIS WHEN
THEY ISSUE !

So, do what every other 18 year old has: buy your cert and get a job.  but
don't expect *anyone* to take the cissp of proof that you know anything
more than how to hand over your hard earned money to theives.

I like the idea of belief in drug-prohibition as a religion in that it is
a strongly held belief based on grossly insufficient evidence and
bolstered by faith born of intuitions flowing from the very beliefs they
are intended to support.
