I second that. When I talked to the head of LCC Computer Science, for the downtown center, she said that the certification would not be valuable locally and thats why it wasn't funded.
I was very interested due to low student loan rates and my student loan burden--consolidate and save. Ken, I would like to help here but with out certification its a struggle--Sallie Mae won't fund it. It all comes down to follow the money, House Bills included!!! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of E Sent: Friday, May 30, 2003 4:19 PM To: The Eugene Unix and GNU/Linux User Group's mail list Subject: Re: [eug-lug]Linux at LCC I say screw certification, who needs it? Those classes should be for people who want to learn and if they want to get "certified" they could do it later out of their own pocket. I've always kind of scoffed at there being a red hat "certification". All that stuff is run (or was) by collective technologies anyhow, so it should have been called coll-tech certification, or something else...but that company doesn't even take that crap too seriously, according to a friend of mine who works there. it smacks of a windows mentality to me --- Ken Barber <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Friday 30 May 2003 11:23, Ben Barrett wrote: > > Right!
