I'm 21 now and passed my CCNA a few weeks back. Hopefully I'll be obtaining either the CCNP or CCSP when I'm 22 :]

dude!! i got my A+ and Network+ last year at age of 28. where do you put me if getting A+ at 21 is a little late. lol
Most of the people i went to tech school at Georgetown University were around my age, and some older.
I have heard that its never too late to learn something, but in my case of learning how to rollerskate when my GF took me to the Roller skating ring, i admit thats too late for me now...i was crawling on the floor while others were skating around me..and this lady came and said "Sir, you have to keep moving!"
how am i suppose to keep moving if i keep falling..my GF tried to hold me but i am heavier than her, so we both fell to the floor..it was the second most embarassing moment in my life ..you dont want to hear my MOST embarassing moment in my life..i will just keep it to myself...hehe"If you want to kick the tiger in his ass, you'd better have a plan for dealing with his teeth." -
