What ever happened to "get real world knowledge?" I hate book certified people. I have worked with too many of them. Here I am with no certs... I had people comming to me with certs asking me how to do things... Why? Because while they had read about it, they had never done it. Think you could read a book about driving and get in a car and drive it right away? Probaly not. Maybe you could read a book about brain surgery and be saving people's lives over night. Certifications just show you have the dedication to cram a crap load of information into your head in a short period of time. Real world experience will win every time.

Real world experience will win every time

That's my attitude now.

I have also seen too many cert guys, asking me how to do things they should know! Things as basic as how to set up a login script for users!. That's something I learned a loooong time back with NT 3.5! Geez

Thing is that many employers look at the papers and not necessarily the experience, that's why I'm gonna try to get at least 1 certification. Not to "prove" that I know something, just to have equal opportunity when the time comes to look for a new job.

[lordflyingpoo]

none as of yet, but probably some of the material on those certification exams are here on msfn.

I want to do this exam MCAD: Microsoft Certified Application Developer.

But I don't have a certification with Microsoft.

Wish I did.

May be in the future.

Too expensive.

I completely agree with un4given1 100%.

Theres no point to a certification. I mean there just papers saying you have some knowledge of computer. But how MUCH knowledge. And thats what most of the companies look for now-a-days. Just for a cert.

And i was thinking of getting a small one from Cisco. And when i get older i dont know. I might get anyother because thats what good companies look for.

But of course un4given1 got to build high-end servers without a cert. And work at big computer corporations. So hey anything is possible!
