It appears that, once again, I got burned by lack of... preparation? planning? research? Something along those lines. I just found out that to sit for the CISSP exam, I need three years of professional IT experience. Which, of course, I don't have. The school won't give refunds for a class once it has started, so I'm out four thousand dollars, unless they make a special exception for me, which I doubt. There weren't really prereqs for taking the course, and it never occurred to me to check for prereqs for taking the exam.... <sigh>
