Yeah but guess what happens when you go to the lab for a spin. The proctor sees that you were a Landscape Engineer (mowed lawns) six months ago, and they give you the lab that makes you configure BGP in 3-D with the undocumented feature set. Imagine the fright that comes over you in the lab, and how silly you look with those glasses on. So I always answer that I invented the Internet and the only reason why I am taking the test is for a friend. Don
