[MB] What's up guys

[RUN TO THE HILLS]

What''s up Rum Fire it up.

I''m doing a busy week.  Got a quiz coming up and a certification exam both on Friday.  Between that and Dragon Age I haven''t found much time to play HL this week.  haha.

[RUN TO THE HILLS]

certification exam for what??

[Sheemer]

Microsoft''s Internet Security and Acceleration Server.  Commonly known as ISA Server.  I need that, Microsoft''s 70-294, and whatever the number is for Microsoft''s Design and Security cert, I need that too.  Then I''ll be MCSE 2003 certified.  Then I am going to do an upgrade cert for the MCSE 2008.  Got to sneak Cisco''s CCNA cert in sometime too.  I want to have them all done by the end of August.

Wow, that''s some hard core stuff Sheemer.    I''ve been looking at the MCSA but designing is more fun so I might switch it the MCSE.  So are you footing the bill or is your employer paying for it?

[Sheemer]

I am taking a course in college right now and the cost of all of the certs, except for the CCNA, were part of the tuition.  So, whenever I want to write one the college takes care of setting it up for me.

Also, the MCSE and MCSA are along the same paths.  You need to pass 8 exams for MCSA I think and 14 for MCSE.

In the end they are just sheets of paper though.  Good for someone like me with no work experience to get an interview, but not going to land me a job on their own.

Nice job Sheemer

An old thread, but just figured I''d tell that I got the MCSE for the 2003 track a few weeks ago and today just completed the upgrade to the 2008 track.  Just got to get that CCNA cert and I''m done for a while.  Woohoo!
