First Red Hat Academy for High School

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the back-to-school dept.

FrankBama writes "As a follow-up to the story of a few days ago, Red Hat has started a program in my old hometown. The story's at the News & Record. I love this part '...this training normally would cost more than $10,000. But Weaver students can get Red Hat certification free -- and use it get a job paying more than $30,000 a year right out of high school.'"

    Perhaps they can use it to get a job as well.

    I have to wonder if this is good news overall for the Linux community.

    Many students spend well over $100,000 on a 4 yr college education and then graduate without Jobs. Do we really want college kids competing with HS grads for the same mid to upper-salary jobs in the $30-35K range?

    So you leave this school and get a 30k job (as if) - it's nothing more than slavery. You're just working to make the guys at the top a shitload of money.

    <BR>and did you ever consider how some of those people managed to get to that position *without* their daddy's chequebook?

    I would like to just add that I am 15 myself and you seem like a little nerd with no friends. I mean, you ran the lights for your plays c'mon bro, get a life. I would also like to add that script kiddies, and I believe this includes your self infact HAVE NO SKILL. That is why you are called script kiddies you know howto do nothing but run `sh hax0r.sh`. You break into systems by using exploits which have been around for in most cases years. You have no skills to apply or assets to help a company. Go learn how your system works, and the true workings of tcp/ip (or another protocal for that matter). I can bet a good amount of money that you have no idea what your system is doing 99% of the time. Script kiddies will always be script kiddies, no more, no less. No knowledge, no understanding, no clue.
