I haven't read the referenced material yet, but on another list I'm on this subject also came up. One statistic I heard was ~10,000 hours of "doing" something will make you an expert. That boils to down to roughtly 3 hours per day for 10 years. It's still a rather subjective measurement, but I don't doubt that if you spent 3 hours/day for 10 years you'd be extremely proficient in whatever your subject of study. I'd love to play the guitar, and if I had 3 hours/day to devote to it for even a year, I think I'd be good enough for my requirements :) So, let's see, 8hours/day * ~12 years of being a sysadmin = ~35,000 hours. So, by that statistic, I'm an expert. Why is it then I still feel so ignorant about what I do ? :) -- Seeya, Paul _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
