One question, how did you acquire a position as a NSE without a certification?

FWIW, security+ is considered the beginning certification for a career track 
in the computer security field. You will find that it pretty much is just to 
get "your foot in the door".

I am pretty sure that securityfocus and sans/giac has a career progression 
poster documenting the normal track of certifications for a given field in 
CS/IS.
