What kind of cool jobs can I look forward to?

Research confirms that black is a color like silver is a color, and that beyond black is clarity.
you memorized a bunch of poo poo that has no technical relevance but will get you some money on the infosec side of things, so grats I guess.

it's probably the most boring cert I've ever studied for.

experience is king but CISSP is quickly becoming a standard requirement for even entry level security analyst positions or your resume goes in the trash

I have a thing for courageous dongles

their "vouching" system for getting accredited after the test along with not letting you see anything more than pass/fail has done a bit to slow its descent in to diploma mill worthlessness but the 2015 revisions of the test gutted most of the technical knowledge so its getting easier to game as a conceptless cram session of corporate buzzwords with a little bit of Best Practice thrown in. It will be as laughable as A/Network+ in a few years and then they'll move on to the next arbitrary test that you have to pass.

Regardless, congrats. That's a lot of bullshit to jam in your head.

If there was a grading scale for torture I would give sleep deprivation and waterboarding a C-.
Got mine in February of this year.

It's kind of like losing your virginity - you don't feel any different afterwards but it's still a significant milestone in your life.

So what was bela lapuda model again?


Lol, I held the certification in high regard until I went and took a one week bootcamp.

I looked around and about 3 of us out of 20 actually knew any actual security. The rest were like 'I got promoted/hired and need this dumb certificate'

The pass rate was 95%.
