heres a tip on the exams, the exams are a BITCH! the exams are not written by tech's, they are damn english professor's who write them. really unfair questions, some questions have nothing to do with the topic at times. but yea, goodluck to ya. its tough in the IT world.

Congratulations! Did you get an MSCE "security" or/and "messaging" certificate as well?

The messaging one is a pain in the ass... you really need some practical experience with it to understand it, but it's not too hard. I passed MCSE 2000 as well as 2003 for Messaging and Security. It sure helped me in land a very nice job indeed (i.e. Enterprise Admin in a very big company).

I really suggest you pass the messaging cert as well, it will help you a lot! If you can buy a few gigs of ram for your home PC, setup a little virtual server setup with afew DC's, an Exchange server and stuff... you'll quickly learn the skills to keep things running

Keep going, it will help you a lot!

Congrats. I was taking up the same thing when I was in the UK. I didn't get to finish it due to the costs. So I stopped and setup my own IT business here.

Which is doing pretty well too. Not bad for somebody who didn't get to finish his MCSE's. I'll be taking a Java course soon anyway, so I guess what happened is just down to fate.

You're spot on about how IT and medicine will grow together in the next few years. I've already started fielding US clients to outsource their IT-related work here. Medical transcriptions are booming here, and there's so much more room for further growth.
