Sigh!, Last time. Get the message folks - Unless you are a real employer, your messages do not count in my books. Nor should they count with anyone else, but that is your money and I really don't care.
There is only one reason to do any "certification". That is that it will get you job/employment/money. If, by studying for "certification", you actually learn something, well that is good. Me, I have enough "certification" to wall paper my office. > The LPI is a hard test and it is a good benchmark.

Well, I want beyond the secretary, because I've decided jobs run like that are not worth having. Been there, done that a number of times. Working with "certified" people can best be described as "interesting". Bottom line; if you are thinking of paying for certification, go to http://www.jobnet.com.au or some other employment site and see exactly what "certification" is being requested and paid for. -- Terry Collins {:-)}}} email: terryc at woa.com.au www: http://www.woa.com.au Wombat Outdoor Adventures <Bicycles, Computers, GIS, Printing, Publishing> "People without trees are like fish without clean water" -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
