Hey, I am currently only a high school sophomore (15
years old) and my whole life I have been very interested
with windows and programming. I plan on working at my
dads job as a tech guy, system admin or something like
that, im currently taking visual basic and going into
java, but don't plan on being a software programmer; or
really using those skills mainly in any career. My older
friend said I should take a Microsoft test and get
certified once im old enough... (If there are any age or
experience requirements)
It's hard to explain my experience since everyone has
lower expectations since im so young. But I have
experience with windows server 2000 and 2003 and
networked 5 of my computers with 1 file server; I use
remote networking over LAN and the net. And Im beginning
work as a computer tech in a computer LAN cafe. I can
format any version of windows and I have used them all
for as long as I can remember.

 I think if I start young it would be better. Are there
any qualifications that I need to take this test? And
what is the minimum age to take a test? Im currently
reading the Windows Server 2003 Deployment Kit: Deploying
Network Services online book and I plan on getting more,
what does everybody recommend for studying?
I obviously have a lot of time to prepare for the test...
But I want to get as much info as possible so I can be
the best in my field :D
