Hmm.. so someone would turn into a 'wannabe' upon achieving CISSP..
I'll think about that a little more. :-)
My point was - general infosec knowledge prepares an individual to tackle specialized roles, and CISSP outlines most of the common areas one would encounter in their career.
In regards to certification, what matters more is the amount and quality of knowledge you gain during the preparation, than the title you achieve.
Titles can help you land a new job or get a salary bump. But once you take up the role, you're back to reality ---- the knowledge!! Use your cert pursual effort to learn, than collect the titles, and you may find yourself a very successful Infosec professional next time you assess yourself.
Speaking of certs, I'm tackling OSCP on December 11.. if anyone else is considering it (currently or in the future), give me a shout.
