Recently I have obtained my Associate's Degree in Computer Science added to A+, Network+ and Security+. I am now studying CCNA then going on to CCNP and CCSP. Wanna go for my Masters next year. So hopefully i'll get a good job later on this year. I only have 2 years experience working as an Assistant Webmaster/Tech Support. Ohh yeah i have been unemployed for the past year. But i have acheived so much in that year off that I feel as if I can do anything I put my mind to. It certainly does feel good to have acheived so much within a negative situation. Instead of being down and depressed about being out of work....I recognised the fact that i was not marketable and did something about it. Now don't get me wrong, I was still working but on my own....building, maintaining and fixing family and friends systems which eventually got me higher up the ladder installing, configuring and maintaining businesses as well. I had partners who started off with their own ideas for businesses and were keen on an IT person they trusted. So I was not making much money. For me, once I had and have money to pay for exams and a lil extra to put in the bank i am cool.
I have been sending out applications like crazy but no one seems to be willing to give me a chance. I have been thinking long and hard and have also been doing alot of research and have decided that I will relocate to England later this year. I have an option available to me and its the right time to use it. Once I am CCNP certified at least I should fare well....hopefully. I'm seeing alot of jobs asking for CCNP at least. I am also going up to do my Master's next year as I like the syllabus up there by many a University. I know ppl always talk bout checking the cost of living and everything first.....done that also.....and it works out good. Also I'm getting some help in finding a job up there by a reputable company that I have been doing online classes with. So everything's working out so far.
what do u gurus think?
you think i got a reasonable chance?
whatever the outcome....i will not give up......i love Networking and Security and who's to tell me differently.....
lol

    You got your Associates recently and are going for your Masters degree? I'm confused...


    Other than that, it sounds like you've got it all planned out and I hope it works for you.

    I obtained an Advanced Diploma from a Top UK institution that affords me the choice of either going for a B.Sc or an M.Sc. In my country as it stands now I only have access to a B.Sc that's why I say its an Associate Degree.
