I was sixteen when I took my Red Cross Professional First Aid and Professional CPR certifications, with additional water rescue training.
Oh, then there was this one day, when I was about 20, when I went in and took my A+ Core and Software tests. It was a good day, but I never did get that raise I was promised for getting the cert.

MCP x 2 at 22.
Turned 23 3 days ago so by 24 birthday hope to have MCSE:Security, S+, CEH, Mile2 CPTTS (already failed once with 1 weeks study - 67%) and CHFI.
But this is wishful thinking!
