I was going to take the SANS mentor class for the CISSP. But I have just 
discovered that they are requiring a B.S. degree, which I don't have. I have 
been in the I.T. field as a sys admin/telecommunications/pseudo security 
person for 10 years now. I have achieved SANS silver GCIH and CGNA in the 
past year and a SCP (snort certified professional). 
I don’t have a B.S. because I decided to be a chef,a nd got a culinary 
arts degree. I did that for 15+yeard and made it to my goal, but I make much 
more today than I did as a restaurateur.  

So people, should I continue to peruse the SANS track, or somehow get that 
B.S and get the CISSP eventually? I see many job postings that are asking for 
CISSP certs. 

Disturbing that a BS degree is required.  I know a lot of bright people without 
degrees.  Mostly due to lack of challenge, rode the 90's tech boom, etc.
