    I'm nearly 19, Have my MCSE, CCNA, Hell of a lot of experence

    There are people who have more years of experience than you've been alive, and they are struggling to find jobs. Just trying to inject a little perspective.

    And let me tell you, perspective doesn't come easy to a 19 year old. That's great if you have experience, an ABC and an XYZ. You're still 19 and will be treated as such. Finish up school before you enter the job market.
