Certification Salary Survey - Whoops!

MCSE certs are for people who think certification means anything in this day and age.

get a new job before you're replaced by somebody in India or Bangladesh
 
well the non-cert bucket includes business owners/self employed and those with advanced degrees and mucho experience.

if you compared those in the first two years of graduation with a BA vs those with MCSE's the MCSE's do much better in the beginning.

Without a degree though many companies will not give out management spots and definitely not officer spots often.

I am doing well with just my degree. My company is sending me to MCSE school though to be completed by 2/06...they want me to have at least one full cert a year at their expense. I am not going to complain, esp they want to make sure I take the classes during normal working hours not to cost me my personal time. :thumbsup:😉:beer:

My younger brother was a CCIE, did it in one year way back when (at the time he had several years experience...dude shunned windows for LINUX in 1992).

Started an ISP, and a Cisco side business (he worked his @ss off, like 20 hour days weren't uncommon)....went on to get a few CCIE specialties, CCISP, some unix certs I believe...his current company wondered why he didn't have an MCSE when they responded to his resume....apparently it's a company-wide requirement, within 120 days of the interview/hire, moving halfway across the country, etc he had the cert with security specialty...the company gave him 8 months to complete it. Keep in mind he doesn't deal with windows at all. Guy is a reading / learning machine.

He makes well into six figures a year, he works quite a few long days, has to travel at a moments notice, but for the most part he is usually at the beach or having fun.
