I got my first computer job teaching A+ when I was 19. It has been a matter of connections and my willingness to spend lotsa time with multiple operating systems (*NIX, NT, CISCO IOS, NETWARE) that got me where I am today.

BTW I am 23 now.

Are they hiring?

Nord.. as I said.. "I" am on the hook for the design.. If I put something in there that doesn't work the way put it in there the deal goes BUST... I spend a lot of time researching my configurations with outside vendors and our internal R&D..

It's my own personal version of "honorable selling"... We have to, if the customer isn't happy, we don't get any recurring revenue in the form of maintenance or upgrades.

Netware is a Network OS not an OS.

A Network Operating System is an OS specialized on Networking. Just like a racecar is a car made for racing. Does that mean you cannot call it a car anymore?

If you say yes, you are not allowed to call any Windows version an OS anymore, according to Microsoft those are Desktop Operating Systems, so you will have to call them DOSes.

Network Operating System vs Desktop Operating System, please note the link

The servers, for example, must be capable of running a network operating system (NOS), such as Windows NT server, UNIX, or Novell Netware. Such NOS are much more complex than a typical desktop operating system. The desktop operating system, for instance, is responsible for managing the applications and data on a single computer. It is beholden primarily to its own user and is therefore most concerned with efficiently allocating processing time, memory, and other resources for an audience of one.

I don't know if the Ontario, Canada's system is like the US, but did you go to college for this degree?

Always heard the MFA called much worse...

Me - Systems Administrator, zero hours of college, zero computer work experience, but a very useful TS/SCI clearance.

Wife - Systems Administrator, BS in Political Science, zero computer work experience, an equally useful TS/SCI clearance.

Top secret clearances are the wave of the future....

'Bullsh!t Artist' is less likely to get me a warning from the mods than the MFA one though
