holy $h!T! how did you manage that one!? do you realize that you have been
in the industry longer than me!

Reality check #1 - 99.9% of all (junior and senior!) people in IT want a
gig doing "Network Security". Do you even know what the job entails?

Reality check #2 - Just like 90% of other posters here, you will get your
MCSE and not get the job and then go around bad mouthing Microsoft and
MCSE's and IT certification in general. How very original!

Reality check #3 - oh yeah? and what makes you so sure? guess what, no one
who is switching over to Microsoft (be it from NT, Netware, or whatever)
who knows anything about the product(s) is going to buy Windows 2000
licences - they are going to go 2003. Why? Go to www.microsoft.com and find
out for yourself. Consider it your first assignent towards becoming that
MCSE you always wanted to be.

See last line of Reality check #3.
