This may help, although it wasn't specifically directed at pen testing
but more of a security analysts. I thought it was an informative and an
interesting read: http://www.securityfocus.com/infocus/1784 ( be sure
to read part two as well )

It gives a slight break down on the certs\skills that would be useful.

Good day all,

I know this is not really a tech-pentest question however I wanted to
get some feed back as to what certs/skill set one need to acquire in
order to break into the pentest/information assurance/computer forensics
job market.

I am a about to graduate with my BA in computer system next semester,
and I am tring to get into a security related field, I did very little
vul-testing/pentesting for friends, or on a few work servers and wifi
network.

And that was very interesting, but with so many certs and paths out
there I wanted to know which ones you guys took so I can get an idea.

Thanks in advance.
