Very interesting......craZy...wow.. I even like mandrake. I don't install anything with it, but the kernel is stable... and it has a nice install.
For me to hear that they are having problems, well go figure, the economy is crap.
Hard decisions...
Skimp.
hmm,
You know, I have been in the computer world for about 10 years, and I have no certs. I took the Jr. College route, and their computer science course was in the first year of this courses existance at this school. We covered Office 97. I was so pissed off. Training on office in a college. I was amaized, not that it was over office; but that we did not even touch Access.
I took two years at this school before time was costing me too much and school was interferring. Work it was. So i finally quit working fast food, moved to the Dallas area looking for something. Preferably computer related.
The job thing did not happen. Now I own my own business. Networking, cisco, DB programming, website authoring, NT4, 2000, unix, linux copier fax printer repair, building servers for web, ftp, ssh, smtp pop3, and a lot more.. and the field is changing. Screw what others think. Learn all you can about what ever you can...I hate to say this but i mean this literally.. If you specialize your basically selling out. Specializing in something in a compuiter related field, will get you a job, then when you get older and that's all you know... Well i'll just say that my best friends father is going through this now. He's only in his 50's. He knows more than what his resume gives him credit for. Employeers just don't look at those things. His credentials are in programming. Unix mostly, and NT4. But he's not a sys admin, nor does he know all of the details of networking, and securing... More so of the hardcore Database end... So I talked him into going into going into business for himself until the market gets better,..then he may like what he does. I do. Use what you know! Skimp PS- I'm not saying that school is bad, if you can afford it do it! I'm gonna go back.
