<It's not on topic for [EMAIL PROTECTED], which is about getting
certifications, not jobs.>
ElephantChild, I say it has alot to do " ... about getting certifications,
..." If you have a Certification, but no experience, what is it called or
what is the state, status of your certification - you are a PAPER xxxx.
At least, that is what is advocated by some; therefore, at least, in part,
this is applicable whether you are a CCNA, CCDA, CCxx, CCIE, xNx, MSxx,
etc. [Extended to Novell, Micrsoft, ...]
At least with Cisco devices, at the lower end, it is hard for people to
beg, borrow or steal an entry level position. And then, to paraphrase,
they must pay there dues and proceed with their career. At the upper end,
sacrifice and hard work, money, prestige, status and on going work to stay
current.
In that it follows the path of least resistance, Capitalism starts to
acquire the properties of electricity. Capitalism is a predicated on the
ability to produce and sell a product [or service] at the least expense
for the highest margin possible. If your type of services are needed and
you are a bono fide, card carrying CCxx, MSxx, xNx, you have expectations
about market value, time in industry, what you know, who you know, how
much you know, etc. To repeat, you have expectations of what you are
worth.
What happens, since you want x money and you can't get any work because
you are just a PAPER xxxx at your new expertise level because joe/jane doe
will do the work for a fraction of what you have come to expect, probably
deserve and the market used to bear. [Union shops come to mind.]
Suddenly, H1B and Certification are entwined - up to your and my neck.
Then, to take it a step further, what happens when an H1B starts under
cutting another H1B. At that point, we are all on a downward spiral - if
not already.
Other than, "It's not on topic ...", please explain your position
