I am going for the CSS1, I probably could pass it in a short about of time. Instead, I am getting hands on experience with security, and getting all the theory as well. Not just for the CSS1, but for "real world" security stuff. Security is a journey, not a final destination. I think you need emphasize more on the "real world" "hands on" networking. And not how many people passed a test. A CSS1 is not going to be a magic pill, you have to understand how PIX, IDS and serity stuff works in a "real world" environment, with hands on. You also have to prove this when you get that security job.
I think you got your CSS1 for all the wrong reasons. Because a book came out, that bummed you out? You should work that much harder on your security skills, instead of comparing yourself to everyone else. Those of us with "true networking skills" do not worry about what entry-level people are studying. And some of us even help out the newer people, kind of how other people in this newsgroup/internet probably did for you while you were going for your CSS1. How about specializing in some other newsgroup.

Lammle has a CSS1/CCIP book coming out. Soon everyone will be trying to get this cert and it will become a paper cert. All of my hard work will look like nothing. :-( Man, I need to specialize in something that people just don't want to study. For a few moments in time I had it here in Japan but once this book comes out, even more clones will appear. Soon I can get a CSS1 with my soba and Sushi down at the 7/11. Booo! Theo hmmm forensics.....and I already have training scheduled and materials here....hummmmm........
