When I worked in infosec, most of my coworkers collected certs like eggs on Easter. Perhaps that's because it is still a very new field and it's only been in the past few years that more than a handful of schools have started offering relevant degrees. It's worth noting that my local high school and middle school now both offer information security classes, with the high school going as far as making it a separate academy within the school. Maybe certs will diminish in importance as the traditional education system adapts to offer more training in this area.
