    And by that same token, the University degree will probably not be
    enough. Two generations ago, one only needed a high school diploma to
    start a career. One generation ago, it was a bachelor's degree. Now,
    advanced degrees are becoming more desirable, especially if you want to
    move up the ranks.

    Continuing education is a must. A University degree can give you a
    solid base to build from, but I wouldn't ignore certifications,
    additional degrees or hands-on experience.

    Soum,

    Twenty years from now, no one will know what a CISSP is. But twenty
    years from now, you could still have a university degree. 'nuff said.

    Cheers,
    Kelly
