That is true. I think being a QSA would be a nonrefundable ticket to a miserable job (although I know some folks who came from doing government C&A's who are happy doing it). I just meant that if it's really just a situation where having a job is more important than what that job is, I think you'll have an easier time finding work as a QSA. EDIT: Actually, you know what, even with that said I retract my suggestion. You'd have to already be working for a company that is approved to even get your QSA, in which case it's not really applicable for a general person looking for a job. And it's terrible work.
