<DIV></DIV>>I'm originally from Trinidad and Tobago and like phil we have no BS or
eve
<DIV></DIV>>MS programs. What we do take is CXC and then GCE(A levels). In my
previous
<DIV></DIV>>life I was very good in Technical drawing and Design. Something about
<DIV></DIV>>architectural and geometric line that really got my fancy. Well after
<DIV></DIV>>getting 5 2's in CXC and going on to A levels and getting 3 A's I must
admit
<DIV></DIV>>pursuing the CCIE is comparable.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>Is there anyone in the group with first hand knowledge that can speak
on the
<DIV></DIV>>comparison of CXC and GCE(A levels) as compared the a BS or MS program.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>Nigel..
