22506, Finally Certified
Posted by cougar694u, Mar-27-07 09:53 AM
I just got back from my extended stay in Atlanta. I'm now a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer, +Security, in Windows 2003. Overall, it was 8 exams and took me 16 days to finish it all. Most of the stuff I deal with daily, so it wasn't too bad.
Really doesn't mean much, except that my job should pay me more because I have a little thing that says I know what I'm doing. And if they don't want to pay, on to bigger and better things.
Now I have 5 acronyms/certifications behind my name, but the MCSE over-shadows 2 (MCP in Windows 2000, and MCSA in Windows 2003).
Just thought I'd share.

Yeah, I was actually planning on finishing the bachelors first (2 classes a semester after work sucks!), but since my work offered to pay to get the MCSE :shrug
