That damn certification is a joke.. Cisco is just trying to retain control over the industry by invading education and making people learn their stuff.. I took Cisco semester I this year, and it sucked. They made all the questions really tricky.. I ended up earning my semester one certificate (which means absolutely nothing), but I don't think I will continue the course b/c the curriculum sucks ass.

Member Avatar for christina>you

You took Cisco in high school?

Member Avatar for joshSCH

Yea.. They offer it as a college credit course at the advanced technology center. I didn't like it at all, but many companies require it for Net professionals =/.. I prefer comptia's exams

Member Avatar for christina>you

Yeah, my boyfriend does too.

That's pretty impressive though.. we don't have opportunities like that here.

Member Avatar for joshSCH

ahhic.. Did he enjoy it? Has he completed both semesters yet?

The CCNA exam is a toughie..

Member Avatar for christina>you

Umm.. I'm not sure. I'll have to ask him about all this. (It doesn't interest me that much... lol)

But I'm pretty sure he hasn't taken the CCNA exam yet. You already have???

haha.. hell no. I've only taken one semester out of 2 that are covered on the exam. I took a practice one, and I got raped lol..

Aw, you don't like networking? What do you enjoy then? (Technically related) You plan on going to nursing school, isn't that right?

christina isnt much of an IT nerd, methinks she just came here for her boyfriend and the posting games ;)

Member Avatar for joshSCH

haha... That's probably true.

Member Avatar for twomers

Nursing, eh? That's got the second highest failure rate in my university, apparently. Elec eng has the highest followed by CS I believe (in third place that is).

Member Avatar for joshSCH

lol.. really? Well, let's hope you don't drop out..

Member Avatar for twomers

>> Well, let's hope you don't drop out..
Appreciated. I'll try to be as nihilistic as possible :idea:

Member Avatar for joshSCH

hahaa.. great idea

i fancy doing astrophysics or summit, way more up my street! :)

Or perhaps a space science degree (just a Bphys not an Mphys) or whatever they call it now Bsc, Bphys, meh all the same in the end!

Member Avatar for twomers

>> Or perhaps a space science degree
You should take one of those space tours. Might be expensive, but definitely worth it! Probably a bsc.

Anyone ever want to make funny words out of their degrees? Like, if you got a BA and then a BE, you are, educationally speaking, a BABE :)

Member Avatar for joshSCH

Really? I would have never guessed that from your avatar... :D

Astrophysics does sound interesting.. but I've never really taken a course in it so I don't really know whether I'd like it or not.

Member Avatar for twomers

Particle physics was fascinating when I did it in school. I loved it. Might have been cause it was interesting and easy (always a good combination :))

haha.. BA is batchelor's, but what is BE?

Member Avatar for twomers

Bachelor of Arts and Engineering. Sorry.

I'll hopefully be a BEEE :)

Member Avatar for jbennet

Bsc Is better

Member Avatar for joshSCH

wut about a phd

Member Avatar for Infarction

CCNA is easy

I'm too lazy to read the rest of what you guys wrote... :P

Member Avatar for jbennet

PHD is a bit pointless unless you want to go into some bigtime research or be a good teacher.

Member Avatar for joshSCH

CCNA is easy? Have you even taken the test? And passed?

Member Avatar for Infarction

My CCNA expires in a week or so. I passed easily the first time. No interest in renewing though, it didn't do anything for me...

Member Avatar for jbennet

How lonng does it last for?

And is it better to get Cisco or M$ ?

Member Avatar for joshSCH

Did you actually enroll in the 2 semester course, or just teach yourself?

Member Avatar for Infarction

CCNA lasts 3 years. As to Cisco vs. Microsoft, they're completely different and it depends on what you're doing.

[edit:] I took it in high school

Member Avatar for twomers

I want to be a fellow, or a sir :) Not really. That's way way beyond a phd and professorship AFAIK.

I thought it was pretty easy.
