VCP salaries continue to rise

Rich Brambley updated the average salary in the US for someone with a VCP on his blog. Nice to see it has continued to rise every 6 months for the last year and a half.

Wow very cool. I think I might start heading towards virtualization.

I'm just hoping it lands me a job. As hot as it is, and as good as IT is in the Twin Cities, there's only three VCP postings on the job boards (last I checked anyway). Hopefully there are recruiters out there looking at resumes or something. I guess I should focus on the prep and worry about that later, eh?

Get in the class and get your VCP. Get as much hands on as you can.

It's hot now, but always keep in mind that eventually it's just going to become ubiquitous and a part of what every admin needs to know. It'll be hot as people keep deploying it initially. Ride the wave to get into more design work and project management related to it.

I had the class last week and my exam is scheduled for 8/4. I have two HP DL360 G3s on the way (I actually just unpacked one!), so I should be good.

Running in Workstation 6.5 was a drag. Virtualization within virtualization with Workstation running debugging was not pleasant.

Yup. +1, grab a board and go surfing.
