Ok, whom ever decided to place a PMI, CAPM and CISSP in the Technical Certifications bucket is obviously not technical. I currently hold a BS in CIS, a MS in IST from GWU, CCNP, CCSP, CCIP, CCDP, MCSE, GSA CIO, and have passed the CCIE Written for Routing and Switching. I am also a CCSI Cisco Certified Systems Instructor, which means I teach Cisco Courses. So being Highly technical myself only makes me laugh when someone tries to put a PMP, CAPM and a CISSP and refer to them as technical. Their is nothing technical about them at all, those are all management Certifications. The only thing which remotely can be considered technical about the CISSP is when they ask you what type of encryption you should use to protect something. The CISSP exam is 250 Multiple Choice questions! Takes about 4 hours to do, most of that time is putting Dark Lead Pencil Number 2 Circles on the answer sheet. Give me a break CISSP's are a a joke!! I have meet many whom have never even installed a network or created an infrastructure of any kind, but yet because they have a CISSP they are a Security Professionals, ya right. Other than that give me a break. The CCIE is still the most revered and coveted Certification on the planet. $93,000.00??? Where are you getting your salary inputs from Alabama, or Mississippi?? Most of the CCIE's I know have to turn down work, and wouldn't have time to even complete your salary survey. I would like you all to print a retraction, comparing the CISSP to the CCIE is like comparing a Ph.D. to a Highschool Graduate, give me a break!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Serously you need to recant this article I am having way to much fun laughing at it. TP
