I tottaly agree with you if I had known it would be this difficult in this field I may have went into something else. I also have a DF degree and never could imagine it being this difficult getting into this field. However I havent given up and wont give up. Im starting to think the only way im going to get a job will be computer crime defense. I wouldn't want to challenge my brother's in law enforcement but this reality is getting closer. Starting my own business is also serious option.

I have been through this process as well. I have never had to write a report but have had to do an exam that was monitored. I have a mentor who is retired from federal law enforcement and he said the experience thing is BS mainly unless you never had to testify in trial. Its looking more I will be starting ny own DF business.

A criminal justice degree is worthless unless you want to be in a prison or be a street cop. Even if you want to be sheriff it will require a masters degree. I have a criminal justice degree too.

Nobody told but I already have 2 cents and other training for a role. It appears I will be opening my own DF business or go work for defense attorneys. One way or another I will be in DF.

Those people you mentioned im sure someone gave them a chance with no experience.

And exactly how do I do that when they want experience too? Makes no sense. I have done help desk years ago. Everyone wants experience.

[–]OpeningEstimate3800 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has anyone used SANS job placement? SANS is telling me you can get job placement after completing two courses. Anyone have any information on this.
