I'm a CISSP because I made a bet I could walk in off the street and pass the exam. I did. I'd been doing it for a living for 15 years already at that point, though. Having said that, however, let me also state that if someone has CISSP or CISM or whatever, at least an employer knows they've been exposed to the concepts and terminology of the field. That's really all these certs are good for. They don't separate the wheat from the chaff, just the infosec chaff from the other chaff. m5x
