I kinda figured that's what you meant.  Certification alone, will not do 
  you any good, from my experience with my employer.  You need a 
technical college degree, work experience.

AT&T will do the following:

1. hire a person with a technical college degree with no experience.
2. hire a person with a goodly amount of work experience and no college 
degree.
3. will not hire a person with any certification, if that person does 
not have either a college degree or a reasonable amount of work experience.

Until later: Geoffrey		esoteric at 3times25.net

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
