    What the heck does this mean, anyways? That you have money to waste? Any time I see this as part of a person's credentials, I just KNOW that the article is crap. A recent article (I won't say which) demonstrates this point. Just thought I'd get that off my chest. Marc Help! I'm an AI running around in someone's f*cked up universe simulator.

    :Quickly checks that my MCSD credentials are not mentioned in the articles: Yeah, MCP cred's are crap. :cool: BTW. MCP means that you "struggle to improve your career chances, but either don't have much money to spend, or are to dumb to earn more, anyway"

      And to think that I was actually thinking about getting some of those credentials to help me get a job doing what I already love doing. Oh well, guess I'll just stay in my current job of Shift Supervisor at Burger King, earning a measly $7.50 an hour. <NOTE:This message in no means reflects the actuall thoughts, concerns, or opinions of the author, the president, or the rat living in your walls.

If you make $70,000 a year as a programmer working 100 hours a week, it's close to the same hourly rate. Therefore, you'll be happier flipping burgers. Marc Help!

          And you'll probably meet more women Ugh. You ever seen the women that go to fast food joints? Not my cup of tea. Feeling lonely, are we? Marc Help! I'm an AI running around in someone's f*cked up universe simulator.

            I think I may have stumbled on the ideal way to meet women! Halfway through my class on preparing income taxes it dawned on me - what better way could I ever find to meet single, well-employed or wealthy women? They have to disclose everything to me, without the barn dancing routine of the dating scene - address, phone, age, # kids, #ex-husbands, income, investments... This could be a great Spring!:-D I'll have a full report April 15... "How many times do I have to flush before you go away?" - Megan Forbes, on Management (12/5/2002)

              Yes, but you would have to admit to being a tax accountant. Kiss of death! I'd rather be flipping burgers :-)

                In India Subia Hashmat, 11 and Supriya Singh, 12 are probably the youngest "person ever to attempt and clear the Microsoft Certified Professional examination." Story at http://www.rediff.com/computer/1999/aug/04mcp.htm Meanwhile in Pakistan a 12-year girl Sheeza Ahmed "is the youngest Microsoft Certified System Engineer".

                      Wow! We have got some bright people in the subcontinent. I didn't know about this (these people's achievements I mean, not about bright people, which I always knew about. :-D ;P ). Thanks.
