I'm 22, I say 10 years by doing some dirty math and rounding up, professional like I started @ 15 so it is closer to 7 years, before that I was a hardcore geek...I got it because of the fact that most HRidiots don't know their ass from a hole in the ground and don't understand that you can have every cert under the sun and still understand jack sh!t about technology.
