Ahh, yes that issue, brought on by the 14 year old Inian lad that passed the exam and also had the required on the job experience. I figure if a person, even at 14 has the skills and the experience, then matters should be fine, this is not something that will happen every day for sure. Still, how about some of us folks that have 16+ years in the IT market, with 8+ years on security as a focus, and while not having a BA, still have 250+ college credits behind them? Even most employers will trade a degree for on the job experience, does this apply for the CISSP?
