Since you want to use the 'royal we'...

No, we're just taking an example and making it impersonal...or at least
that was my intent by removing your name but you replied...oh well.

I'm secure in what I do, thank you.
I just wish I had twice the amount of time available that I do.

Ok, so you chase money and don't care where it comes from and spend money
to gain more money.  An investment strategy of sorts.

No, just that you seem to be a class example of the "snake oil" security
people who joined the scene when it became obvious there was money there,
no real interest in the technology itself except for the potential rewards.

Hence the CISSP just becomes a means to the end (acquiring money).

One of the group marcus loved to moan about.

"Hire me, I know everything!  See, I even have a certificate to prove it!"

I wonder how much the average person remembers of what they needed for their
final year college exams a couple of years down the track...
