Hello,
I noticed that the question of 'CISSP or degree' got a lot of feedbacks and
comments. I am also considering more education in order to enter security
field. I already have BS degree from good school and working for a IT company
working with various applications. However, I have always wanted to be a
little bit more technical and be exposed to more research-like environment.
Not sure if I want Ph.D., but definitely looking at one of those MS in
information security. Georgia Tech and several other reputable universities
offer such program.
After working almost 2 years in industry, I know that experience is really
important and that I can acquire the knowledge myself through many sources
although I don't go back to school to do it. On the other hand, the idea of
getting higher or specialized education and degree is really appealing. Also,
since my current work does not have anything to do with security, getting more
education might offer me a better chance of getting in to security field than
studying on my own, getting some certs and try to convince companies to believe
that I know about security.
Any opinions welcome
