    Wow, I hadn't thought of that... pretty good idea. I may recommend that to a few folks that are in BS programs and are looking for more certs. It'll delay the time until graduation, but for the right certs and hands-on lab experience it might be worth it.

    Great story. Should be a must read for all of those trying to break into the industry. What you want is out there. You just have to know how to grab it.
