-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Myself I noticed that my customers don't care too much about the professionalism (not having a single cert/degree myself), as the personalism. They want the face value. I have seen that whole paying for support thing, as some people are scared away by my rate of US$6/h for any computer work. I do notice it's harder doing M$ repair than *nix, but one thing my customers love is that I sit with them and fix their problem, not just repair whatever isn't working. I've gone in recently to fix a printer and ended up teaching my client about FOSS, lulu.com, defragmenting, and having cleaned up their computer, updated all their software, etc. So for anyone out there worried that not having a piece of paper getting in the way, it will for working for companies, but if you work for individuals it shouldn't, since they enjoy the one on one, which they don't get on a forum or chat.
