Remember.

In order to gain CISSP certification, you need to have five years of infosec experience (or four years and a degree) and endorsement from another CISSP, plus you have to score at least 70 percent on a 250-question multiple-choice test. Then, if you agree to adhere to the (ISC)2 code of ethics and claim to have a clean criminal history, you're in. CISSP certification has to be renewed every three years, with continuing education requirements: taking classes, attending conferences and seminars, teaching, volunteering, writing.

I have heard of Professor Messer's videos but I've not yet viewed them. but everywhere I see on the net, he's highly appreciated for his videos. only thing I'll recommend is that you get a CompTIA authorized book. they have them on CompTIA's website and if you find the ISBN's you can always search Amazon.com for cheaper (used) books.

Groupon have a $60 Comptia video training course that is WELL worth the money

Holla at the DBA's at your job and see if there's any tasks (aka bytch work) that they need done. That'll give you some DBA experience.

Also there might be some MS SQL certs out there to pad your resume with (at the very least it'll give you some technical knowledge).
