Yeah, thanks for the advice. I didn't mean to come across as I did in my previous post. Just venting. Anyways, I've already passed some of the exams. I'm done with the A+ cert, the Network+ cert (which combined can be used as the elective for the MCSA), and the Microsoft 210 exam (implementing w2k pro). All I have left is 215, which is implementing win2k server, and 218 I believe, which is managing a win2k network environment.

And to show that I've been doing stuff, I went and formed a company last year (about 10 months prior to quitting). At first I did it to keep up with my web development skills. But now, I'm showing how I set up a network at home, and have been maintaining it. Granted I'm not using the commercial sized software like most companies, but I've set up a router, got the hardware and software firewalls running. I've kept all the patches up to date, kept the anti-virus definitions up to date, etc.

I'm hoping that this initiative in setting up this company (as in I went and formally started it, applied for a license, business name and all) will show my interest and knowledge. Whaddya think?
