MCP x 2 at 22.

Turned 23 3 days ago so by 24 birthday hope to have MCSE:Security, S+, CEH, Mile2 CPTTS (already failed once with 1 weeks study - 67%) and CHFI.

But this is wishful thinking!

*Gulp* that's ALOT of studying. Good luck mate!

I've got my N+ exam on the 22nd then onwards to my next three exams for my MCSA.

Been doing the computer thing since the good old Commodore Vic20 and ZX Spectrum days I just never really gave I.T qualifications much thought till last year.
Actually was about the same time my boss said he was going to base future pay increases how many certs we all have hanging over our desks LOL.
