I have seen and met many senior people having innumerable funny
acronyms tagged to their name called certifications. Still, they
sometimes lag on the rudimentary concepts.

A degree is about fundamentals, about making the ground-root structure
robust. If you are not aware about the basics of computing, science,
programming, operating systems et al, you can't be a hacker. Most
hacking is about, playing and tweaking with fundamentals, to know how
the internals work.

Yeah, if you are one of those who is more worried about a comfy job,
nice pay, climbing the managerial ladder or just cashing-in on the
security boom, then do whatver you like.

ccna/ccsp, ceh (or security+) and cissp?
