I’m also looking for a online MCSE Course (ironically I prefer open source/Linux but MS stuff is what is used still on many desktops and corporate networks) and so MCSE qualifications are valued. I already have a full time IT job but want something I can do in my limited spare time.
I think MCSE is best to go for as the only work left in England is second line desktop support (i.e actually fixinfg peoples computers). all the rest of the interesting jobs (development and creative things) have been bangalored.
Cisco certification may also be good but it ties you down to working for big companies as SME’s mostly can’t afford “proper” Cisco kit, its too fucking expensive!
A friend did the MCSE course over 2 years and I think they put him directly into a decent position afterwards. If I remember right, it was somewhere between 3 and 4 Grand. I will see if there are any accelerated courses about.
I do actually see quite a few IT jobs about, I mean mostly maybe not particularly interesting though. 1st line is telephone support right, what does 2nd line involve?
It would be nice to work physically with systems rather than asking some bint on the other end if she has tryed turning it off and on again :laugh_at:
I’m also quite interested in Design to be honest. Although wasn’t my initial choice, it’s something I’ve taught myself over the last year using Photoshop and more recently Illustrator, Dreamweaver and Fireworks. I still wonder if I am creative enough to make it professionally though. Funnily enough, the more acid I take, the better my day to day ideas are for projects :weee:
So with this in mind I may be interested in this section too. Mostly design though, I don’t find coding CSS fun at all. Maybe when I get more experienced with it…
