Re: [Full-disclosure] CISSP Test

Exactly, although the test was much easier than everyone made it out to be. Or 
I over studied not sure which is true. I have a few years in the sec field 
under my belt and decided to get it just to have it. Kind of, I have the 
skills and here is the proof, for management. I think it is a worthy 
investment especially if your looking for new job with the current market in 
the US anyway.
