Sorry for two replies but I can't help myself, it's Monday and the triple 
espresso just kicked in.

As a degree holder and board member of a local chapter working with a local 
university to provide them with guidance towards a BS degree concentration 
towards a CISSP I sort of feel your pain.

In my youth I worked with a Vetranairan for two years in the surgery room doing 
your basic spay and nudder. I assisted with hundreds. But I could never perform 
one myself because I didn't have the education.

Without education you pretty much have no basis to start, everything becomes 
grey. You then have people who want to become certified because they've watched 
all the episodes of CSI so now they want to become certified forensic experts.

Where do you draw the line. Education draws a very clear line. It's not to say 
that everyone who has a BS is educated or intelligent. Look at our President.
