So I'm done with my 140+ credits and 5 years of school only need to do my thesis. I've done support whole time I've been in college so I have some/good experience. Everyone wants certifications though so it seems once my Co-op job is expired I'll be unemployed for awhile. Which sucks but make the best out of it right? I figured I could play games work a shitty job and get some certifications. That or move out of the state [MI(worst economy in the US)].

My question was if anyone has good tips on certifications in the realm of.

Which ones?
How to study.
Prices.
Experience/lessons learned through process.

Thank You,
~Will

Move to Canada. They're dumb and don't require certifications. Renounce American Citizenship.

I like Canada... I played on an Amateur baseball team there for a couple summers, they paid for all my food and housing. Was kinda sweet.

Vancouver/Whistler/Blackomb doesn't get any more beautiful then that! Love the restaurants too.

So yeah! Move to Canada!

Yeah other than the fact I'm not a citizen and still hold a US clearance and don't even know how to look for jobs in canada. I guess socialism would take care of me though....

Are you an American? No you say?
Do you have any certifications in your field? What? No?:) (I'm not sure honestly)
Are you dumb? Um, well let that answer itself. :twisted:

If all goes to plan, I'll finish my Management Accounting in 4 years, that's pushing 4 night classes a year which are only available in fall/winter *booo*

After that, it will be another 5 years to get my Diploma, same thing with night classes heheh...

Trying to squeeze them in as much as possible since the company is paying for it!

Heh I took a bunch of those classes.
I didn't like accounting much.
Hence why I didn't get an Accounting focus and got IS instead.

I'm ashamed of everyone here. They're welcoming this guy named will14 as if he were nothing special... Today is his first visit in The Other, and we should properly introduce ourselves.

Hang around a while, because where there's a will, there's a wingding.

Sticky... Read the sicky.

I'll give you a hint: Click his name in the left column of the post, click "show all messages in this section" link (words may be different - I'm a paraphrasing kinda guy), and see when they first post in the other...

Oh, and post counts don't mean sh!t. It's all about the subtlety. 8)

I don't exactly think being a chicken on a skewer turns (sane) women on though. Only in seedy movies.

Call me lucky because I jokingly gave my girlfriend a list of people (all female) that I nominate for a threesome with her and me. To my delighted surprise, she said yes without hesitation (she did turn a vivid colour of pink though). You can be assured I'm getting this on video.

Your have financial security, you have a nice girlfriend and you live what many would call a gifted life. You just got your girlfriend to sign up for a 3 some with another (presumably hot) girl.

Did you really need to give me another reason to hate you? [/lucky bastard]

I was given a chance to pick 3 girls that i could cheat on her with that i wouldn't get in trouble for... We decided before we got married... Hers were all famous actors..
Mine were
1. Carmen Electra
2. Her best friend (Janine)
3. The girl at the Grocery store (Tina)

She wasn't too thrilled with me... but hey a deal is a deal... hahaha

@riser
I can't say anything about that chicken. Anyone that can keep up that level of exertion for this long nonstop deserves tremendous respect, and a possible dose of fear. Kind of like Wingding.

@lvdax
Now thats a deal if I ever heard one. Did you get it in writing before a witness?

Girl named three of her friends and said "who would you have sex with first." Of course I say "None! Only you!" She says "Ok, then I'm picking who we have with us in bed, they all want to!" I'm trying to hide my enthusiasm, needless to say the girl with a hot tub won out... awkward at first, it all came easier after awhile...

I would post pics of the two girls (girlfriend and her friend) after a few Smirnoffs in the tub, but I have sympathy for anyone within 50 miles of Wingding when he busts 8O

Ninja: looks like us living next to each other is going to work out even better than we thought...
