Just a disclaimer here, while this is great information for other users who may be in the field, the original poster is not eligible for CISSP certification. He's looking to get into the field, and CISSP requires 5 years of advanced, paid, full-time work experience in the field for you to even sit for it.

Candidates may receive a one year experience waiver with a 4-year college degree, or regional equivalent or additional credential from the (ISC)² approved list, thus requiring four years of direct full-time professional security work experience in 2 or more of the 8 domains of the CISSP CBK.
