Buster, don't you listen to JaR. He's crazy! there are lots of jobs out
there - you just need to know the special trick to getting them.
The trick is, you need to do MCSE over & over again. you do all the 7
exams and pass. then when you get your MCSE in the mail, you book the
same exams and do them all over again. you keep doing that over and over
again. everytime Bill Gates sees your name on the MCSE as he is signing
it he gets more impressed by how much you know. He will then make a
special note in his daytimer to meet with you about a job. thats how i
got my job. :-)
