We do all of the above, whether we like it or not.

Oh, I dunno about that, Ivan -- you should see my ex-dining room! It is possible to have all those OSes in one's home, student or not -- but most of us don't want to have an ex-dinging room like mine. We have one NT server, one Sun server, one portable (PC) functioning as our intranet server, two Win98 PC workstations, one Mac workstation. We have the $5.00 Oracle "test drive" installed somewhere, various flavors of SQL (I think Bruce just installed mySQL, after giving up on MiniSQL), Cold Fusion, Access, 4th Dimension, Lotus Notes, various Intranet pacakges (trial versions), and too much other crap to count. While I admit that most students wouldn't have the room for all this stuff, expense-wise we've bootstrapped it, and if we'd bought more pieces second-hand it would have been lots cheaper. A dedicated student with an eye to the future could start building their own stuff and after a couple of years have most of the HW -- knowing how to use all the software is another issue entirely though. Equipment aside, I don't think a newly-graduated student would have experience in all of the areas in the job listing. But keep in mind that most job listings are really wish lists, with the people listing everything they can possible want in a dream employee. I know I'd love to hire someone with all of my skills and experience plus skills in a bunch of areas where I don't have experience, and to only have to pay them about 1/2 of what I pay me -- yeah, right, DREAM ON. So, take the complete job listing with a grain of salt, and try to figure out what items in the list are the top priority, and see if you match those priority (deal-breaking) criteria. --Tamra Heathershaw-Hart Champion Nerd ------------------------------------------------------------ Hart Consulting http://www.hartcons.com/ Web Design & Engineering Studio Silicon Valley, California 650-967-6162 1-800-749-8032 (fax) ------------------------------------------------------------ ____________________________________________________________________ -------------------------------------------------------------------- Join The Web Consultants Association : Register on our web site Now Web Consultants Web Site : http://just4u.com/webconsultants If you lose the instructions All subscription/unsubscribing can be done directly from our website for all our lists. ---------------------------------------------------------------------
