Re: Re: University Degree or CISSP

Yes,
Very true. Nothing counts equivalent to experience, but experience comes only 
when someone starts somewhere. I have seen one big thing happening around. 
People in the industries shifted from technology to business, that is the point 
when they lost the security and created more loopholes in their own products as 
they reduced the time needed, reduced budgets and spent more on advertisements 
and marketing. 
How does that reflect on people. They need people already with experience. But 
how is that possible. Everybody needs to start somewhere. So experience does 
count, but I would say some foundation, some added qualification and some 
experience is good for a cool job. For a startup job, some degree and some cert 
is essential.

PS: This is my opinion, I am not pointing out any company or any private 
organization.
