Since I am not landing that big job right out of college, I was looking at a few ways to make use of my time. Right down the road from where I am staying is the DATC: Davis Applied Technology Center. Their specialty is certifications. A+, MCSE, Cisco.....they even have some sort of UNIX/Linux thing. I went and checked it out. Basically it appears to be "work on your own" then come ask questions and take the test and if you pass, boom, you're certified.
I've heard mixed opinions about "certification" and read some funny Dilbert views of it too. I was wondering what some opinions of the group are that have been able to actually get paid working with computers. See, I have books (O'Reilly) and I read them and learn new things about Linux, programming, etc. But I don't get "certified" Am I going to need to be "certified" to get anywhere? -- Jacob Albretsen [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.knine.net/ "I believe OS/2 is destined to be the most important operating system of all time." -Bill Gates ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://phantom.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list
