    Kinda wanted to take a minute to think about this.

    The big determiner between art and junk is passion. Regardless of what you
    do, if your a good information security person, or a good hacker, you have a
    passion for the technology and the job. Doesn't really matter if you get
    paid for it or not, late evenings or not. If you have passion, then you have
    what it takes to excell in a field, any field, including information
    security.

    There is a lot of passion for information security amongst some people, and
    for many it is just a job, don't take it so seriously, hey see the latest
    dilbert cartoon, and please read my blog. I

    have only seen two attacks in 14 years of information security that I would
    like to meet the hacker. One from china, one from russia. Very good, still
    don't know how the boxes survived the attacks, they were that good, that
    targeted, and that unique. They had passion, should be the only ones allowed
    to have a CISSP or what ever certificate du jour is.

    I think that is Uncle is railing against, and if I am right, welcome to the
    side show. MCSE's and CISSP/CISA are all in the center ring right now. But
    like any circus, it too will fold up the tent, and the side show is what
    brings the "suckers born every minute" into the big top.
