    I remember back in the day when I was interviewing for a network admin and the interviewer told me that "a CCNA is nothing, we have people who are multiple CCIE". Of course the CCNA certification is not of the same caliber of CCIE, but damn, talk about a discouraging interviewer...

    I've been on both sides of the table, and I find regardless of the skill level of the interviewee, we should never discourage them, in fact, encourage them to do better, even if we don't end up hiring.

    Keep working at it and I am sure one day, it will be a whole different experience :)

    There will be people that will put you down since they dont have any certs. Usually those people does not have a higher cert or the same cert as you. At the end of the day, IT is a very small world. You will never know who will be your boss the next time you/they look for a job. Usually, the guys that have certs move up faster than the guy that do not. Also, usually, the guys that have certs goes for the top certs at the end, CCIE, CISSP, OSCP, etc. and then higher education such as masters, or mba. Thus, they become the manager/boss.

    Dont let those guys put you down. I like those guys though. The more you put me down, the more i want to study and be successful.
