I've been thinking about self studying the SANS "Security Essentials". My budget doesn't allow for courses but there is a local testing/training center that lets me run study groups at the training center. I was thinking of just doing a group study thing. Any of you that have taken the exam have an opinion on the feasability of self/group studying for this exam. I did real well self studying CCSA and CCSE and am working on CCNP and soon to start Cisco Security Specialist. But I think GSEC may just be too much. Opinions?
