Well I have all 3 certifications you mention, and security+ is the entry level 
cert.  It is considered an entry level cert because it tests basic security 
information, it creates your foundation.  You may or may not already have this 
foundation.  Hard to tell from your post.  C|EH tests basic ethical 
hacking/pen-testing.  It assumes you already know most of the information 
contained in the Security+ domains.  SO if common sense would tell you that it 
would be a waste of your time if you don?t know the baseline information.  
CISSP is a management level, broad information base certification.  while it is 
considered a security certification, i would not consider it as technical a 
cert as Security+ & C|EH.  It also seems from you post that you do not possess 
the required time in the CISSP domains to sit for the exam.  I would wait until 
you possess the time/knowledge.  The world doesn?t need any more paper CISSPs.

hope that helps, and don?t take anything personally, i can only give an opinion 
based on the info in your post.
