I took the CCNA years ago.
It raped me hard dude..real hard


ps- what kind of govt. clearance do you need for your job?
I was thinking of joining the national guard and wanted to try and qualify for MOS 98J ( http://www.us-army-info.com/pages/mos/i ... e/98j.html )
But i hear they're phasing that one out.

No idea man, i know the longest process to get a job with a defence contractor is the damn background check. Some people wait a year to hear back for a gov't job.

I want to get cisco certified, but thats the kind of shit i need to actually sit in a class for and have someone talk to me, icant do that online or ill get raped.

Manages and maintains the database? Pretty much just server work. Making sure everything is up to date. A lot more work than you think from what my teacher tells me.

Miller, you should seek out a Microsoft certification instead. Government uses Microsoft Windows Server 2003, if you get a MCSE for that, you are already ahead of most candidates. Most database administrators have Microsoft certifications.

Don't get me wrong, Cisco certifications are great as well, but they are more for Network Administrators.

PS: If you want more of this information in detail, feel free to send me an IM. My AIM is paulius2003.

I signed up with http://www.cbtdirect.com. They have a wide range of IT programs available and are partned with tons of companies including dell and microsoft. The guy set me up with a $3500 (no interest) plan for a year. I figured i'd rather dish out that much $$$ for something needed instead of bs like clothes, games, accessories etc. It's a great deal if you ask me
or do you need something cheaper? rolleyes:

It is a 6-test certification. I suggest taking a look at which tests you need for which part of the certification (Server 2000, Server 2003, etc.) on http://www.microsoft.com and then taking courses at a local college or something.
