I would guess you're right on the CISSP transfer jsd. Also, it is correct below on the experience requirement. You can receive a one year experience waiver with a 4 year degree, which brings it to 4 years. I have 2 years "official" experience in working in networking security and implementation (my dad owns a computer and networking company). Which is why I already come into this with a lot of technical knowledge. I have been building and repairing computers, installing networks, all the way down to the cabling for as long as I can remember. The entrance requirements for the CEH, were a little bit less stringent. Once, I accomplish that and my 4 year, coupled with my experience, ...I am hopeful that ISC would approve certification.
If not, there are other certifications that are actually a lot more technical than the CISSP, like the OSCP, which is on my radar also. The CISSP and the CISM are better for long term security professionals slanting more towards management. One of the things that makes me different, is my technical skills at such a young age. My dad had me soldering circuit boards when I was 7. My problem is I really don't have much more than my experience - which lead me here! LOL.
