Wow, this article was refreshing. I've been saying this for a long time myself, and using the pen-test list as a specific example. Kudos to Don for getting this out into the open.

It is the under educated "security professional" who spreads the fear. These are the people who never even considered a career in info-sec before they learned that they could make X amount of dollars. These are the people who cannot perform the job to the level of those who have a love for what they do, those who didn't learn what they know from courses and classroom study, rather, they learned it on their own, reading everything they could and putting their knowledge to use "in the wild".
