    Did you go to the same school as Marianne Faithfull ?
    Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

    No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

        Thanks for the advice everyone !
        The thing is, certs don't really teach you anything.
        Use, experience, reading and research is what gives you the knowledge you seek.

        I have hired quite a few people, I certainly don't pass over those without certification.

          TL;DR

          As a contractor certification should come down to either:

          Which one will help you earn the most money

          or

          Which one interests you most

          MCSA's are ten a penny so you want to go for the higher levels of the quals you have rather to make you stand out than going for more low level paper quals

            For me, a certificate is a minor factor but that obviously can vary. It's more about your experience. How many years were you perm before going contracting?
