4/28 In terms of market availability, ease of obtaining certification,
and financial reward, which certification would you guys recommend
for non-tech majors who are interested in high-tech? MCSE?
Oracle certification, or CCNA?
\_ The intro Cisco courses are really good. You'll learn a lot about
networking protocols, more than the actual router configuration.
I wouldn't worry too much about certification, since you'll be
useless without actual clue. I don't know about Oracle, but
the general consensus seems to be that DBA'ing is only marginally
more exciting than watching paint dry, if lucrative, and MCSE, what
can I say. If you can't learn the shit by playing with it, then
you need to go back to non-tech. -John
\_ Let's see... you finally realized that majoring in "wood" isn't
going to make you any money... so you want to make what CS majors,
make, without doing the work.
I'd have to say the MCSE is most appropriate for you.
\_ There is no easy answer to this. There are trade-offs and it all
depends on what you want. For example, getting MCSE is probably
the cheapest way to go (competition on books, classes, etc), but
the pay is only mediocre. Oracle certification will be very
financially rewarding, but it is extremely stressful and the
classes are more expensive than MCSE classes. CCNA classes are
also financially rewarding, but like Oracle certification, they
are also very expensive. Any average Joe can probably do MCSE
and Oracle (you just play with them on your PC). CCNA however is
a totally different ball game.
\_ You seem to have erased my very serious answer. So let me
rephrase it in a more direct manner for you, since you dont
understand subtlety:
You're a loser looking for a fast buck. Therefore, join the
rest of your ilk,in the MSCE flock |
