You could go after a lesser cert, like the SSCP. Some SANS ones may also be a bit easier for you. Or even a vendor cert from Cisco, Checkpoint, Juniper/Netscreen, etc. which are relatively easy to pass and don't require years of experience. You may also score a few points if you state on your job application/resume that your goal is to get a CISSP. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
