From: exibar at thelair.com (Exibar) Subject: [inbox] Re: Training & Certifications When that cert will get me the contract over someone that doesn't have that cert, I could care less if that phone operator could spell CISSP.... Now I'm not saying that it's good public relations for their operators not to know ISC2's own policies, but for a lot of security professionals, those 5 letters might as well be spelled $$$$$.... just like MSCE was way back when.... and who knows what will be 5 years from now.... Please no replies with "well *I* don't have the CISSP and I'm getting contracts left and right... for those FEW that can win a contract without those letters, more power to them keep up the good work! Just hope that you don't bid for a contract and go up against someone that HAS those 5 letters.... you'll probably not win that contract... in the real world, thye DO mean something to potential employers, thats why people get the certs. If they're a paper only type certified, well they won't be able to finish the contract and either get fired or worse.
