Stack your resume against mine Nick, I guarentee I have more documented completed work that's worth mentioning then yourself. I also GUARENTEE with my education completed I have more of a worthwhile asset to any organization period. I'm not doubting that you've implemented networks period. I have setup BEOS, Linux/Apache/ various other kernels since I was 13 years old with Fargocity.com, Red River Net, and PCHertz. I know you have experience with Novell, but thats not gonna get you ANYWHERE. Where is Novell now? Oh yah thats what I thought, gone. Is Microsoft the end all be all solution to networking/backoffice absolutely not. How many Oracle/SAP & Citrix servers have you set up? Can you document them? I would like to see your resume quite frankly. Anyone can start their own business, but If I'm a client I wouldn't TRUST ANYONE without any kind of formal education. Any kid can read their own self help book, tinker around, and start their own business. They are a dime a friggin dozen. Go to a god damn LAN party. If I had a dime for every kid with "their own business" I'd be rich. Like I said, it's that little piece of paper that seperates most people. I plan on being one with that
Speaking of which Nick, do you have ANY certifications? I mean if you don't want to go to school fine. But it'd be in your best interest to recieve some certifications, they are worth the time and money if your at all dedicated to this field. CCNA? MCSE/MCSA? A+ even?
If your looking for books on MCSE/MCSA (including step by step 7 test guide for MCSA) I have them for sale. A+ as well, no documents on CCNA as I am registered for a 6 month crash course at the NTC while I attend NDSU this fall.
Experience helps, but anything to build a resume I'm definately down for, you should think that too.That's funny listing what you've done, I'm not here to get in a pissing match in that, from what Brett posted already I'm not going to believe you.
Now as far as what I know, it's plenty. I have zero certifications, I don't work with Microsoft products, as everything I do is UNIX based, or I convert from windows to UNIX based solutions. As far as large scale projects go, I've worked on enough and worked with enough large companies that me being a "kid" in a business envrionment is non existent. I have no need for a CCNA, I have dealt with larger enterprise equipment in full production environments than that test can even begin to cover.
And the novell claim where did you pull that out of your ass? I have done nothing, will do nothing, and have never wanted to do anything with Novell.
Who was the network engineer when you were with rrnet? I worked there for two years and met just about everyone that had worked there at one time.
Now you go ahead and enjoy your college education, and your telemarketing job, and when you do get a high paying pimp computer job maybe someday you can get a frontmount for real too.

Ok, to make Fitzy happy, I WILL be getting my dyno time this weekend...all day saturday.
there, thread back on topic again

Experience only works for some jobs. Im an apprentice plumber at grants michanical and in the time ive been there I have found out that in the business of Apprentices, Journey men, and Masters you dont get anywhere with Experience. We have a 37 year old dude there that has been plumbing for 20years and he is a first year apprentice... why? Well because he never went to school or took any apprenticeship clases. You cannot advance in a majority of fields without schooling. I can go from a $10 an hour laborer to an $18 an hour 4th yr apprentice to a $25 an hour journey men to a $50+ an hour master ( and those are based on what grants pays masters can start their own business. ) But im not going to be able to do that with 25 years of experience... I have to take classes, read the code books, run jobs, study my ass off , and take tests before any state will consider me as a journeymen or master.
Point being... Some jobs may accept Experience, but a majority dont. Unless of course you would like to flip burgers the rest of your life... Im sure doing that for 20years would land you a job at any Mc Donalds in the world... of course any high school drop out can work there anyway.
Peace!

Actually experience and a degree is the best way to get a nice job. If you have a degree and no experience it is tough to find a job. Last time i remembered to be a master you needed a bunch of hours of experience to get there plus the schooling. Each field is different and depends. I am sure GSR will do fine without a degree because of his experience. Bottom line who really cares this thread still sucks.

ok...back off topic we go again, but I'm game.
I agree that in order to advance you need to either brush up on your skills or get further education. Anyone who is not constantly educating themselves about their job is doing themselves a big disservice IMHO. Some jobs require additional training, some will require some certification. I am going back to school this fall to get my masters in Business Management, and my company is paying for all of it. There are advantages to getting some sort degree, no doubt. Especially if it is a specialized field or one that requires certification before you can advance yourself. But not everyone has to do this to make it in this world. The two richest men in the world dropped out of college for gods sake, theres exceptions to both sides and I'm not encouraging anyone to NOT get a degree.

Actually your right I forgot to mention the fact that experience is also needed. To become a journeymen or master you have to accumulate so many hours. There are 5 different fields of plumbing and to become a journeyman you have to have about 1900hrs in each field. And master I beleive its 3000 but I dont remember.
Peace!
FlowcusAnd no shit I would like this thread better with some HP numbers... but I figured id get my $.02 in.

Let us know how the dyno goes chuck.
Yeah, just keep rubbing it in dave, keep rubbing it in...hehe Someday I'll catch you...well, probably not really, but my powerball ticket could come in I suppose. -
We should make a new rule that there's no more computer geek pissing matches. I thought this was a CAR forum? You guys all have really good valid points, and arguements, but damn. And don't anyone take offense to the "computer geek" comment, it's just a figure of speech.
