Then I wonder if this certification should really have this kind of notoriety. 
Looks like it's not technical and if an 11 years old boy can complete this cert 
...it's not about security management experience either.

Anyone can give me some good reason to acquire CISSP while not being related to 
money and the wannabe marketing-made notoriety?

Personally I done GCIH and GHTQ, the latest is harder and really related to 
penetration testing. I would like some GOOD reason for someone in the security 
field for a while and having others, more in deep, technical certification to 
go on with CISSP.

Should we glorify such things? Tell me more about the exam, the topics are 
quite general and may not be totally in line with the exam and the real 
knowledge being certified.
