That's nothing. Wait till my 3 year old nephew passes his CCIE AND his Microsoft Certified Architect by the age of 8.

It wasn't clear if it was just him passing a single exam or earning the MCSA, it appears he earned the MCSA according to this article:

Time to start giving my 18 month old some lab time on the home lab so he can go for his CCNA. He can go and actually enjoy life once he finally nails down subnetting...

That is neat but in a not very useful way. When you're 8, you should be out playing with friends and generally being a child.

Indeed - and I would be impressed if he passes a performance based exam (such as RHCE) and not multiple choice

I can't tell what certs this kid has though...from the second link, it looks like he has the MCDST & did the XP 270 exam but didn't do the core exams yet, and the first link sorta implies that he is an MCSA but doesn't come out & say it. I'm cornfused.

Either way, it is impressive that he's gotten whatever certs he's gotten at that age. I feel like a total slacker now though in comparison.
