Re: University Degree or CISSP

I am currently attending classes for my 2 yr CS degree, it has been suggested 
to me to go ahead and get some certs now. I am lucky enough to have moved to a 
position with my present employer in the IT department and am getting the all 
important hands on. Perhaps I will get my certs, perhaps not. One thing I am 
certain of is that I will not stop at a 2 yr degree, that would be as bad as 
the fellow with an arm full of MSCE's thinking he is <insert higher power>'s 
gift to computers. I would trade 2 years hands on for one year schooling 
anyday. The issue with me currently not having any certs or degrees is that, 
even though I am confident in my skills, I have no way to prove to a future 
employer that I do know what I profess to know.<br><br>Get the degree, you can 
always go for the certs during the summer months when school is out.
