Title: worried about that MCSE ?
Post by: Petey on 18 November 2002, 08:12: You took all of those tests.....spent all of that money (say, $10,000?)....then still have to upgrade those skills...then some OTHER OS starts hosting you database, files, and web pages?

How bloated do you think that makes our economy?

Running Apache (instead of IIS), throw a few Oracle instances on a Linux server....and you have a stable platform WITHOUT having to pay M$ royalty fees....not to mention the stability of Linux....

I think I'd be getting my fucking money back from M$....with MCSE certification you are all dressed up with no where to go....a big shooter in a tiny pond....

but I forgot, you are CERTIFIED, that meand you get to advocate for M$, right?

Don't have to be. Yeah pretty much everyone agrees that for servers M$ products are just plain shit. You can always jump ship. I've regrettably thrown money M$'s way in the past, but never again.

I mean, what career payoffs could possibly necessitate paying that kind of money for a certification in a flooded job market?

Post by: HibbeeBoy on 18 November 2002, 21:05: I know someone who spent $25,000 and who know how much time on getting their MSCE. For what ? The person is still not getting offered any work.
Someone (M$ ?) is putting about that you have to be certified in something but does it really count for much ? I think not as much as M$ would have us believe.
