Working, yes. Qualified, well, that's a matter of opinion. :D
I was the only tech at our store starting in 1991, doing repairs after school (8th grade!).
Worked part time from there on out, I went full time in 97, after graduating from a lame-a$$ trade school for an assoiciate's in electronics.
a+ cert. going for mcse, studying for my ccna and network+. i wanna get apple cert. too.
oh ya im a tech for a retail store.
I am a Sys Ad somewhere in the Department of the Treasury, USA. I have about 250 users in 8 locations throughout the state of Florida. A+ and Network+ certs, but they didn't make me any smarter when I got the little cards. :)
I'm not certified.
Just ignore my posts. I obviously don't know what I'm talking about. :rolleyes:
Tech - two years
full time System Admin almost four.
I actually deal with many tech issuses too (being part system integrator etc..)
I alsodo technical writing for the tech support department (teaching techs how to solve problem..)
I have A+, MCSE, Solaris I+II, CNA.
I also have a degree in computer science and doing my masters now (will take forever with the amount of time I spend at work :) )
you can add to that "almost CLP" (certified lotus professional - I haven't taken the
test .. but took the course)
Good enough ?
and I'm just one of the guys - there are many people here who are professionals.
and even "semi-professionals" can offer great advise...
3 years of experience at work, about 10 years of interest. Certified, but I don't think it matters.
I too am MCSE and System Administrator. Just as nobody starts with all the answers, nobody finishes with all the answers. You can have 20 years experience (I do not), and still learn something from a newcomer.Quote:

I get alot of answers from this board, and try to help in kind when possible.
Rafi
:D
Sowolo, ten years and NO QUALIFICATIONS? I'd say ten years experience is a HUGE qualification! I wish my MCSE made me near that qualified! (only two years experience. 'course, they've been good years...) I love the whole certification game, but I hope no one confuses 'certified' with 'qualified.'Quote:
