We are family

I might have passed my CISSP almost one year ago now, but I always come back here to read and to inspire others when I am feeling low, or frustrated with my job and ask why I went into Information Security. I come here, and I reflect on my journey from my A+ days all the way through my CISSP and I realize that I love what I do.
We all need to be here, especially for the up-and-comers, as Cyber Security is on fire. We need you all. The perseverance we all went through to get here is a testament to what we do each and every day. The journey is not easy, and the expectation of a CISSP is even greater.
I mean it when I say that I would have given up if not for this site. Contribute, coach, mentor, advise.

Kalkan999 I could not agree with you more, the times I have found myself frustrated for whatever reason, I always jump onto TE and have a read of the posts. Sometimes I find myself relating more to the people on this forum than at my work

, kinda silly but true. I have come to draw most of my professional inspiration from here too. I only wish I had known about TE earlier, it don't matter though, I am here now

... I have met some new people here, not actually physically, but by reading posts, sharing ideas, study strategies e.t.c

There is a lot to say, but I believe We are family sums it up. Thanks TE

Today's pass by my friend TBRAYS is further evidence of my WE ARE FAMILY proclamation! CONGRATS to you and all who passed this week. I am here to serve those who are taking the plunge. Feel free to e-mail me or look me up on LinkedIn as I have the latter linked to this site.

I couldn't agree more! I'm a very pro-active person who continually strives to better myself and my craft. Rather than listen to co-workers who do nothing but complain about working or not getting ahead but do nothing to further themselves, I stay on these boards and read stories and posts from people who are like myself. It's very motivating to participate on these boards.

I would never be in security had I never found this website. After I finish my degree at WGU for security, I will pursue SSCP and move on to CISSP.

Since the SSCP requires a year of experience in a domain, I will start it now while I finish up my degree at WGU. I just need to find a way to get the domain experience.
