How many GEEKS do we have on this board?

[Dr. Jay]

Sorry, after seeing the Lawyer and Military threads, I had to add this one

So, if you're MCSE, MCSA, A+ certified super-geek and the C.T.O., or, if you're just the "go-to" when it comes to computers, sound off!

Remember, if it wasn't for us geeks you wouldn't have such great things as PHP.......and the ScubaBoard!

I'm not trolling, I promise... :bonk:

MCSE, A+

Pretty pieces of paper and a little bit of extra spending money as a side job.

Not my career though. I couldn't find work without moving and no other States would have me.

Recent CMU CS/Math grad...

Currently doing wavelet analysis, so I guess that counts

Sigh... I can just smell my bretheren now! (Quiver... I'm a firm believer that he clusters at CMU should be hosed down several times daily!)

Real geeks don't need no stinking Micros$$t certifications...

We got one Kentuckian to get on a plane [his first time] and drive on a highway with exits [also his first time] for an interview.

He moved up.

We got another one that was happy to get out [he was originally from West Virginia... but he's not quite figured out that isn't a defense from kentucky redneck jokes].

Our first Kentuckian is also our first telecommuter, and he's still down there.

Heh....I agree....I have none.............yet.

I'm probably going to start my MCSE soon. I've got the 1st book in the series. I still troubleshoot Microsoft problems pretty well without the "piece of paper".

It looks good to some employers, though

Hmmm......so let me revise......

If you fancy yourself as a "computer-wiz", then let's hear from ya!

So where do I send my resume....oh I just posted it...nevermind.

Yes, I am a paper MCSE. But I admit it so that says something doesn't it.

Microsoft terrifies me.

This will be the first year in the last 3 that I'll be forced to use their OS. At least its not on my machine!

This is probably going to start one hell of a stir, but FYI. When I look at resumes and do interviews, microsoft certifications are check boxes in the wrong column.
