I don't know anything about these types of certs, but I will quote what my friend who is project lead at his company told me about MS certs.

Him: "Dude if I see any MCSE or any of that shit on the resume I move the guy at the bottom of the pile. Microsoft gives those things away. If the guy doesn't have Cisco, I don't want him."

My friend who has a few MS certifications has told me that the tests were a joke. If I decided to go get any certifications, I'd surely go with Cisco.

I'm a CCNP and a CCDP, and taking the qualification exam for the CCIE lab on Monday. Hopefully CCIE by the first of next year depending on how backed up the lab is.. (and how long it takes me to pass it

No comments from you, CCIE6679.

The tech market is there. It's just changed it's focus on experienced multi-talent vs single talent. Multi = Cisco, Unix, MS, etc.. Numerous skill sets coupled with above average experience.

They all stopped feeding off the bottom of the barrel.
Paper certs dreaming of making a fortune in IT have gone back to whatever their chosen field was before the make a HUGE SALARY $$$ IT boom.
You should see some of the people I worked with, COMPLETE idiots. I was amazed they even knew how to urn a PC on and most were MCSE's!

Dial_tone; You Can Do ANything You Put Your Mind Too! Botom line most people are too lazy to put forth the effort, that's why we have teh massess of asses.

Good Luck!

What's the tech future look like for wireless networks? Thinking of getting my CCNA, get out internet marketing and head into wireless...

Anyone have their finger on the pulse of the industry?

Hey Sassy, I worked for Cisco for quite awhile, recently left to have a life. I have all Cisco has to offer in certs, and used to instruct their internal SE's (Systems Engineers) in CCNA, CCNP, and CCIE courses, as well as the VOIP and Wireless. I have many Wireless Certifications as well. There is ALOT of wireless going on out there right now, and I do a bunch of it. But knowing wireless is the easy part, the Security side of it is playing the huge role. Wireless has only moved as slowly as it has since Cisco purchased AiroNet cause of Security concerns in the Enterprise. Knowing the security is becoming a pre-requisite these days, where routing and switching used to be the foundation for everything, almost seems secondary now.

For the poster in TAC, you and I must have passed the IE the same week, we are just a few tic's off from each other....RTP ??

It's only microwaves, it wont give you a tumor, it will just eventually kill the cells, so worry about a slow death, and you'll be dumb as a box of rocks when it happens

you're welcome

I would look into VOIP moreso than WLAN now.
