Well it is rare to find a field where book knowledge, or recollection thereof, will earn you a direct living. Even to teach, one must relate and apply examples. So, Lucifer Linux, how do you want to apply this knowledge? Great tools, indeed.... getting certified is certainly a Good Idea, but may depend on what you want from a certification :) If you want job placement, I'd suggest internships. With tech knowledge, you have a chance to get a paid internship, and if you do good work and get along with the company, they'll likely hang onto you! Are you studying at LCC or UO, somewhere else, or done w/ that? Sorry if I'm catching up, I was away on vacation. There is a lot of great guidance here and in the IT Pro Forum, as well as in the Corvallis area if you can manage those few miles every now & then, plus Portland has multiple groups ranging from hobby/funtime to academic to professional.
BTW, is your handle Lustful LAN EcoLinux, or ...Lane Co Linux....? J/k :) cheerio, Ben On Sat, Sep 6, 2008 at 1:53 PM, Lucifer Linux <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > These too. > > http://i413.photobucket.com/albums/pp218/uoupiosax/linux.jpg > > > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: Lucifer Linux <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Sat, Sep 6, 2008 at 1:51 PM > Subject: Eug-lug] RE: No, The Tech Skills Shortage Doesn't Exist > To: [email protected] > > > For arguement's sake I reckon a "computer application specialist" is > someone who memorizes valuable information from these and similar > books: > > http://i413.photobucket.com/albums/pp218/uoupiosax/linux2.jpg > > http://i413.photobucket.com/albums/pp218/uoupiosax/linux2.jpg > > > " On Thu, Sep 4, 2008 at 6:39 PM, Lucifer Linux > > I'll bite and wait for the punchline.
