Ya I read that about CISSP. ISC can also endorse you if you can't find someone yourself. I think you need like 5 years of experience working in security. I don't mind.

I'm going to drop MCSE and replace it with Network+. I'm planning on attending the local ITT Tech campus soon to start on a BS Degree in Information Systems Security. It seems the majority of the class is security stuff with little networking involved (i guess) so Network+ will probably be my first certification after getting my degree.
