    You went to school to do IT? You must be stupid, If you were going for a CISSP for instance you need 5 years experience, with a 4 year degree they shave off a year. So in total you get your 5 years experience in only 8 short years.

    Seriously most crap in IT is so based on whether you can read a book and pass a test.
